Area rug cleaning in Mountlake Terrace, WA

Rugs in Mountlake Terrace 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. We hear a version of this from Mountlake Terrace every few weeks.

Why it matters here

Off-site washing is the only way to reach pet urine in a rug's foundation and the only way to remove mildew from the back. If either applies to your Mountlake Terrace rug, in-home cleaning will not fix it and we will say so. It is the kind of job that brings us back to Mountlake Terrace on a regular basis.

Summer beach and lake sand is hard on wool fibers. A rug in a lakefront or waterfront home should be dusted and washed every other year at least. We could tell the same story about a dozen Mountlake Terrace addresses.

A family with an antique Kashmir rug had it picked up, dusted, washed flat, dried under control and returned in beautiful shape along with a whole-house carpet cleaning. The rug had decades of grit in the foundation; dusting alone removed a startling amount before the wash. Ask around Mountlake Terrace and you will hear a similar story from a neighbor.

How the visit goes

What we will tell you honestly
