Rug cleaning
in Moraga.

Moraga is a made town. Three separate communities — Moraga Town, Rheem and Rheem Valley — joined to incorporate on 13 November 1974, and the housing left from that period is mostly low-slung and mostly on a slab. The census counts 5,932 housing units in the whole town, a small number of houses spread across a wide valley floor and up the ridges around it. The rugs follow two patterns. Around Campolindo and the Country Club we see wool broadloom and large machine-woven pieces from the sixties and seventies build-out, often the original rug and never properly washed. Around Saint Mary’s College — Lasallian, founded in 1863, on this 420-acre campus of California Churrigueresque buildings since 1928 — there are faculty houses and rentals where rugs turn over faster and take heavier foot traffic. The climate here is mild rather than baking: July highs average 81.9°F and the town takes about 27.47 inches of rain. That is easy on dyes but hard on anything stored through a wet winter in a garage or a crawlspace, and moth damage in wool is a repair we see regularly in Moraga. We wash cold across twelve steps, treat for moths where the evidence is in the pile, and reweave rather than patch. Collection also runs the Lafayette–Moraga Regional Trail corridor, which follows the old Sacramento Northern right-of-way straight through the middle of town.

Booking is a call or a text to (650) 675-8160, answered from 8am to 8pm every day. We fix the window before the van sets out and come back to you with the confirmation quickly; there is no standing route to wait for. One crew collects, washes and returns the rug, so it never changes hands. Seven to ten days is the usual turnaround, and any repair is quoted in writing before work starts.
