Area rug cleaning in Lake Stevens, WA

Rugs in Lake Stevens come to us with a regional set of problems: mildew on the back from sitting on a damp slab, pet urine that went through to the foundation, and years of winter grit cutting the wool from the inside. Dusting the rug face-down before any water touches it removes pounds of that grit, and it is the step most in-home cleaners skip. Lake Stevens customers describe it to us the same way, almost word for word.

Neighborhood by neighborhood

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.

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. We hear a version of this from Lake Stevens every few weeks.

Jobs like yours
