Area rug cleaning in East Olympia, WA

Rural and semi-rural homes south of Lacey with acreage, animals and wood stoves. Many East Olympia homes have at least one rug that matters — a wool rug from a grandparent, a Persian bought on a trip, a shag rug the dog has claimed — and those are the rugs we pick up, wash properly and return. Pickup and delivery in East Olympia is included. We hear a version of this from East Olympia every few weeks.

What East Olympia homes bring us

In East Olympia we regularly pick up rugs from East Olympia proper. A customer's antique Kashmir rug went out and came back in beautiful shape; a Persian rug its owner had been afraid to clean for years came back restored. Those are the jobs we like most. Nothing about that is unusual for East Olympia — we see it often.

Why it matters here

Wool rugs washed every two or three years last for generations. Wool rugs cleaned in place with alkaline carpet chemistry brown, felt and bleed. The difference between the two is the reason we take rugs out of East Olympia homes to clean them rather than doing what is convenient. East Olympia sends us this exact kind of job on a normal week.

Before the holidays is when people notice the rug in the front room. Give us two weeks so the rug is back before guests arrive. East Olympia customers describe it to us the same way, almost word for word.

Jobs like yours

A woman had a very expensive Persian rug she had been afraid to have cleaned for years. It came back restored. Hand-knotted rugs with natural dyes need an acid rinse to set the color before washing and a controlled dry so the foundation does not shrink or ripple; done properly, the rug looks the way it did when it was new. It is the kind of job that brings us back to East Olympia on a regular basis.
