Rug Cleaning in Crestline

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

The Houses

What Crestline is built from

One of Mountain Brook's original three villages, and the most family-dense part of it: 1930s through 1950s cottages and Colonials on tighter lots than the rest of the city, with a steady run of renovations and second storeys added on top of them.

Households built around the school calendar, dogs, and a lot of coming and going through one back door. Rugs are good but they are working rugs, and they get swapped out, rolled up and put away far more often than rugs elsewhere in Mountain Brook.

What We Find Here

The Crestline problem

Storage is what does the damage in Crestline, and it is entirely avoidable. Rugs come up for a renovation, for a party, for summer, or because the room is being repainted, and they go into an attic, a garage or the back of a closet. An Alabama attic in July runs at the outside temperature and the outside humidity with no air moving through it, and that is the ideal environment for two separate problems at once: mildew in a foundation that was rolled up with any moisture still in it, and clothes-moth larvae, which want wool that is dark, undisturbed and left alone for months. Both turn up together, and both are found in September rather than in June. The prevention is dull — wash the rug before it goes away rather than after it comes back out, roll it with the pile facing outward, keep it off the floor, and put it somewhere the air is being conditioned.

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.
