Rug & Upholstery Cleaning in Shavano Park, TX
Shavano Park keeps its live oaks, and the live oaks keep dropping. Leaf grit and pollen come in the back door every day of the spring.
The lots in Shavano Park are wooded and large, and the houses were sited to keep the trees. That is the appeal and it is also the maintenance. Live oaks shed in spring instead of fall, dropping small hard leaves and then catkins, and the ground under them stays covered. Between that and the caliche shoulders on the drives, what walks in through a back door here is mostly abrasive: leaf grit, mineral dust, and pollen fine enough to sift into a rug foundation.
Safe-Dry® works inside the house, room by room, on rugs and on upholstery. Very little water goes down, the solution is carbonated and free of soap, and the fizz brings the embedded material up where extraction can take it away. Sixty minutes or so and the rug is fine to walk on; a big sectional wants up to a couple of hours. The crew number is 210-538-3938.
Live oak litter off a Shavano Park drive
Tree debris breaks down into hard particles that behave like sand once they are in a rug. They do not stain, so nobody notices them until the pile has gone dull and slightly rough underfoot. Vacuuming pulls the loose material off the top and leaves the compacted layer at the base of the pile, which is where the damage happens. Loosening it there and pulling it back out is the fix, and doing it with a small amount of water means nothing ends up in the pad or the subfloor.
Great rooms on the Northwest side of Loop 1604
The rooms here are open and tall, which means the rugs are large and the seating is oversized. A ten by fourteen under a great room, a sectional built in three pieces, a pair of oversized chairs facing the fireplace. None of it needs to be dismantled or carried anywhere. Everything gets cleaned assembled and in position, cushions handled one at a time on the frame. There is no shop, no truck ride, and no week where your family room has a hole in the middle of it.
Dogs, deer, and the Shavano Park back door
Wooded lots mean wildlife, and wildlife means dogs that spend a lot of time outside being interested in it. Paws bring in wet grass, mud and oil, and if there has been an accident indoors the odor is in the fiber and often in the pad below it. An enzyme treatment breaks that residue down so the smell ends at its source. Cover-up fragrances buy about a week. Households with pets generally do best on an annual cleaning; twelve to eighteen months suits the rest.
What a Shavano Park walkthrough covers
Before anything is cleaned we identify the fiber on each rug, since wool, silk, cotton, jute and synthetics all take different handling, and we test a concealed edge for dye stability. Delicate upholstery gets a hidden-area test. Then you get a firm price on the whole job. Anything that will not respond gets flagged at that point: old dye bleed, sun fading, worn nap, bleach spots and moth holes do not clean out, and we do not offer repair, reweaving, re-dyeing or leather re-pigmentation.
Wondering if that couch is worth cleaning or due for replacement? There are three checks you can run yourself in a couple of minutes, and they will tell you which side of the line it sits on before anyone quotes you.
Rug and upholstery jobs we handle in Shavano Park

Rug and upholstery questions from Shavano Park homeowners
The sectional is enormous. Is that priced differently from a regular sofa?
It is priced by what is actually there, which we determine at the walkthrough after handling the pieces. Nothing is quoted sight unseen and nothing changes once we start. The first cleaning is $25 off.
Does the outdoor furniture on the covered patio count?
Performance fabrics like Sunbrella and Crypton are serviced and their protective finish stays intact. Patio cushions that live under a roof pick up the same mineral dust as everything else out here, so they are worth including.
How wet is the wool going to be when you leave?
Damp to the hand and not much more. Carbonation is what breaks the soil loose, so there is no reason to pour volume into the wool, and an hour later it is back in service. Upholstery takes a little longer than the rugs do.
