Rug Cleaning in Summerville

Collection and delivery in Summerville are included. We take the rug back to the workshop, wash it properly, and bring it home.

The Houses

What Summerville is built from

Inland up the Ashley, twenty-odd miles from the harbour, where Dorchester, Berkeley and Charleston counties meet. An old railroad and resort town with a Victorian core of frame houses under pines, wrapped in a very large amount of subdivision building from the 1990s onward, on lots several times the size of anything on the peninsula.

Where households go when they want the space the peninsula cannot give them. A great many of these families moved out from downtown or from Mount Pleasant, and a great many of the rugs came with them.

What We Find Here

The Summerville problem

Two things, and the first is the move itself. A rug that spent years in a narrow downtown room arrives in a Summerville great room twice the size, where it now sits with every piece of furniture standing on it and its whole perimeter exposed in a room with three doorways feeding into it. That is a completely different wear pattern from the one it spent twenty years developing, and the change shows inside a season: a bright band around the edge, compression flattened under every leg, and a lane where there was never one before. It is also, very often, the first time anybody in the family has seen the back of it. The second is what children bring home. Between the school fields and the club pitches out here artificial turf is everywhere, and the crumb rubber infill from it comes back in shoes, socks and kit bags by the handful. Those black pellets work down into a pile like grit, but unlike grit they soften in a warm room and smear, so what they leave is a grey-black stain rather than a loose particle — and vacuuming at them presses them further in.

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.
