Rug cleaning
in Santa Rosa.

Santa Rosa’s oldest wool rugs tend to come from McDonald Avenue, where the 1876 McDonald Mansion anchors a row of Stick and Eastlake-style homes built when the street was the city’s showcase address. Those interiors kept their original hardwood, and the rugs laid over it are usually hand-knotted pieces that have never had a proper wash. A mile away, Railroad Square‘s brick storefronts survived the 1906 earthquake and now hold apartments and lofts above; rugs there see more foot traffic and street dust than a residential block. The harder story is Coffey Park. The October 2017 Tubbs Fire leveled an estimated 1,300 structures there in a single night, and most of the neighborhood was rebuilt within a few years on the same slab foundations. Homes that escaped the fire line sometimes still hold rugs carrying smoke odor from that week, which needs enzymatic pre-treatment and a full cold-water wash, not a surface deodorizer. Newer Coffey Park households, by contrast, are usually outfitting bare floors for the first time. Across town in Bennett Valley and the golf-course lots of Oakmont Village, rugs run larger and newer, laid over engineered wood — a different job than the antiques near McDonald Avenue. We collect from all of it, wash everything the same twelve-step cold-water way, and bring it back ourselves.

Santa Rosa is the farthest stop in our regular Sonoma County coverage, roughly eighty-three miles from the Newark atelier, so pickups here are set up by appointment rather than folded into a daily loop. Call or text (650) 675-8160 — customer service answers 8am to 8pm, every day — and we’ll lock in a window and confirm it back to you. Your rug travels with our own crew the whole way, collected, washed at the atelier, and returned, never handed to an outside carrier.
