Rug cleaning
in Corte Madera.

The name is Spanish for cut wood, and the redwood that once left here for San Francisco explains the shape of the town: hills on one side, filled flatland on the other. Christmas Tree Hill is among the oldest quarters, early twentieth-century houses on narrow winding lanes, while Old Corte Madera keeps similar stock on level streets. East of the freeway, Madera Gardens and the bayside tracts went up as ranch houses through the 1950s and 1960s on ground reclaimed from marsh, and several back onto lagoons and docks. The town incorporated in 1916; Town Center opened as Corte Madera Center in 1958 and was rebuilt between 1985 and 1987. That mix gives us two different jobs. Hill houses have small rooms, sharp turns and rugs that have sat folded into corners for decades, so creases set hard into the foundation. Flatland houses sit low beside the thousand-acre Corte Madera Marsh, where slab floors and standing humidity work on the underside of a rug long before anyone notices. We wash cold and by immersion, twelve steps, so lanolin stays put and vegetable dyes hold, and we block a rug flat afterwards to draw out set creases. For collection we ask about access off Tamalpais Drive and the lane width above it, then send the right van.

Reach us on (650) 675-8160, by phone or text, between 8am and 8pm any day you like. Booking is a short conversation; the confirmed window follows about twenty-four hours later. Our own crew drives out, rolls the rug in the room and brings it back to Newark, and the same people wash it. If the rug is large, or a flight of steps stands between the door and the curb, mention it and we send a second pair of hands.
