Huntington, Huntington Bay, Cold Spring Harbor, Lloyd Harbor, Centerport and Greenlawn
Huntington is the largest town on the Suffolk North Shore and one of the biggest sources of fine rugs on Long Island. Green Choice Oriental Rug Cleaning Long Island collects from Huntington village, Huntington Bay, Halesite, Cold Spring Harbor, Lloyd Harbor, Centerport and Greenlawn every week and brings the rugs twenty minutes south to the plant at 44 Executive Blvd, Farmingdale. Pickup and delivery are free; rugs come home in seven to ten days.
Book a pickupHuntington village and the neighborhoods around it, with their Victorian, colonial and shingle houses, send us a mix that looks like a rug dealer's inventory: room‑size Persians (Tabriz, Heriz, Kashan) in the older houses, Oushaks and Tibetans in the renovated ones, kilims and Moroccans in the newer interiors, and a steady stream of everyday tufted wool from the family streets of South Huntington and Huntington Station. Huntington's antique shops and its long history as a place where people collected things also mean more antique rugs per pickup than anywhere else in Suffolk.
Along the water, Huntington Bay, Halesite, Cold Spring Harbor, Lloyd Harbor and Lloyd Neck are estate country: very large rugs chosen by decorators, oversize Oushaks and ivory Moroccans, fine silk and silk‑highlight Persians in formal rooms, and the damp that comes with a harbor view. Centerport and Greenlawn are older, more modest and full of inherited rugs that have been on the same floors since the 1960s.
Because the plant is only twenty minutes down Route 110, Huntington is served several times a week rather than on a single route day, and it is a common drop‑off.
Rugs are rolled pile‑out on a tube and wrapped for the route to Farmingdale.
Waterfront damp and mildew. Rugs in ground‑floor rooms in Huntington Bay, Halesite and Cold Spring Harbor smell of damp after a humid summer. A full wash and controlled drying, not a spray.
Antique rugs with weak foundations. Huntington's collections include pre‑1920 Caucasian and Persian pieces; the foundation is checked for dry rot before any water, and we say no when a rug cannot be washed.
Silk cleaned as wool. Fine Persian silk in formal rooms, stiffened by a carpet cleaner. Recovered as far as possible with a cool hand wash.
Tea‑wash running on decorator Oushaks. Tested and stabilized.
Pet urine on ivory Moroccans. Decontamination soak before the wash; replace the pad.
Moth damage in rugs stored during the endless Huntington renovations. Washed out and rewoven.
Rugs from Suffolk homes hanging in the plant before dusting and washing.
Same five steps as every pickup; the local variables are the route day and the drive to Farmingdale.
