Rug Cleaning in Isle of Palms
Collection and delivery in Isle of Palms are included. We take the rug back to the workshop, wash it properly, and bring it home.
What Isle of Palms is built from
The next barrier island north, reached by the Isle of Palms Connector, with Wild Dunes at the far end. Raised houses on pilings along Ocean and Palm Boulevards, lower older houses on the back streets toward the waterway, and resort villas and condominiums in the north. Like Sullivan’s, much of it dates from the rebuild after 1989.
The heaviest privately-let short-term rental stock on this side of the county. A large share of these houses are booked most weeks of the year, change occupants weekly, and are owned by people who live somewhere else entirely.
The Isle of Palms problem
What goes into a rental beach-house rug is mostly not soil, it is body product, and that is why ordinary cleaning does so little for it. Sunscreen is the main one. It is a suspension of oils and mineral filters, it transfers off legs, hands, towels and furniture in real quantity, and it is a lipid — it does not rinse out in water and it does not vacuum out at all. What it does is bind fine dust to the fibre and go progressively yellow, so the rug develops a dull, faintly tacky grey-yellow cast in exactly the places people sit, evenly enough that the owner reads it as the rug getting old. Self-tanner does the same thing faster and darker, and insect repellent adds its own problem, because some repellents will soften certain synthetic fibres outright rather than merely soiling them. A rug in this position needs a solvent-side pre-treatment worked in before any water goes near it, and an owner who understands that a rug walked on by fifty different households a year is not on the same schedule as a rug in a home.
If that sounds like your rug, send the form and describe what you are seeing. We will tell you whether it needs the full treatment or not.
