How does Lake San Marcos's climate affect this service?
Lake San Marcos carpet work is retiree-community and golf-club-adjacent, older 1970s-80s housing stock with original carpet still in place, modest pet density, and high attention to scheduling and discretion.. Inland homes often have larger rugs in dining and living rooms that accumulate tracked-in dust over a year.
Can you clean a hand-knotted Persian or Oriental rug?
Yes. Hand-knotted rugs need an in-plant process, full immersion, colorfastness testing, flat drying on racks. Takes 5–7 days door-to-door. In-home extraction on a genuine hand-knotted rug is a shortcut that risks dye migration and fiber damage.
Will the fringe get cleaner?
Yes. Fringe is cotton and picks up every footprint. We hand-brush the fringe with a dedicated brightener before the main wash, rinse it separately, and re-comb it straight while the rug dries. The difference is immediate.
