Rug cleaning
in Cupertino.

Cupertino incorporated on 10 October 1955, and a good deal of it was annexed afterwards rather than built by the new city. Monta Vista was the first housing tract in the area, orchard and vineyard land until the 1940s, and it stayed unincorporated until the annexations finished in 2004. Rancho Rinconada, the tighter 1950s streets on the eastern side, came in during 1999. Between them sits Fairgrove: 229 Eichler houses put up in 1960 and 1961. Eichlers are why we talk about light here. Floor-to-ceiling glass and an open atrium lay a great deal of direct sun across the floor, and sun is what fades a rug. The exposed edge goes pale while the half under the sofa keeps its color, so on a vegetable-dyed wool the loss is uneven rather than overall, and a wash will not bring it back. Dye work will, at the bench, and we say the same thing to every Fairgrove customer afterwards: turn the rug end for end twice a year. On the western edge, where the city climbs into the Santa Cruz Mountains foothills along Stevens Creek, the houses are larger and so are the rugs. East, past Apple Park, which opened to staff in 2017, the addresses are newer. Everything is washed cold in Newark, dried flat and returned by the same crew.

The number is (650) 675-8160 for a call or a text, and it is covered from 8am to 8pm daily. You choose the slot, we confirm it back to you shortly afterwards, and the van comes to the door. Cupertino sits at the far end of this run, so a little notice helps. Nothing is subcontracted: the people who roll the rug at your house are the people who dust, wash and dry it in Newark, and the ones who lay it back down.
