Rug Cleaning & Damage Restoration | Alexander's Artisan Rugs in Mill Valley

Act quickly to prevent mold and wool shrinkage. Pick the rug up off a wet floor, blot excess moisture, and bring it to our downtown Mill Valley shop for professional drying and cleaning. We specialize in damage restoration for just this kind of situation, common after appliance failures and heavy storms. Our team assesses the backing, fibers, and dyes before proceeding, ensuring the rug is properly sanitized, deodorized, and restored to a safe, usable condition.

Yes. We handle carpet and upholstery stain removal using methods that are safe for natural fibers and antique dyes. For organic stains like urine, pet accidents, or coffee, we first neutralize the pH, then apply gentle extraction to lift the stain and odor. We also offer targeted odor removal for stubborn smells that set deep into the pile or padding. Visit our Mill Valley location for an evaluation.

Freeze-thaw cycles, common in Marin when pipes freeze or thaw and cause basement flooding, can leave rugs soaked, stained, or smelling musty. We evaluate the rug for structural damage, dry it in a controlled environment, and treat any residual moisture or microbial growth. Since we're located near the Mill Valley Community Center and a short walk from the Depot Bookstore & Cafe, it's easy to drop off your rug for prompt restoration.
