Rug cleaning
in Cotati.

Cotati is the smallest incorporated city in Sonoma County, about 7,600 people packed into under two square miles, and nearly everything in town sits within a few blocks of the hexagonal La Plaza Park at its center, platted in the 1890s as an alternative to the standard grid. Houses ringing the plaza are older and smaller than almost anywhere else in this cluster, which means the rugs we collect there are often sized for compact rooms rather than open floor plans. Along East Cotati Avenue and the old highway corridor once known as Old Redwood Highway, commercial buildings sit close to the sidewalk with apartments above, similar in feel to the iron-front blocks in Petaluma but on a much smaller scale. Near the Railroad Avenue depot, where the SMART commuter line began service in 2017, a mix of older cottages and newer infill means we see everything from decades-old wool runners to rugs bought within the last year. Being the smallest city we serve up here also means fewer distinct neighborhoods, but no less variety in what needs cleaning. We collect, wash at Newark using the same twelve-step process for every rug, and bring it back ourselves.

Cotati is roughly seventy-six road miles from our Newark atelier, so we handle pickups here by appointment rather than a set weekly pass. Call or text (650) 675-8160 — the line runs 8am to 8pm, seven days — and we’ll pencil in a window sized to your street and get back to you fast. From there, your rug goes to Newark with our own crew, gets the full twelve-step cold-water wash, and comes home the same way it left, no outside carrier involved.
