Area rug cleaning in Nickerson
An area rug takes the same traffic as wall-to-wall carpet, but it moves, it gets kicked up at the corners and the dog likes to sleep on it. Dust and grit sink to the base of the pile, where they wear the fibers down from below.
Every rug gets a look before we start: what it is made of, how it was made and what has been spilled on it. Wool, synthetics, flat weaves and bright classroom rugs each need their own approach, and we pick the cleaning to match.
Rugs are cleaned and dried with air movers so they are back on the floor sooner. Customers often add a rug to a carpet job, or a runner and a sectional, so the whole room is done in one visit.

Nickerson, KS
Why rug cleaning matters in Nickerson
Area rugs by the door in Nickerson catch river sand and mud from wet springs. That grit wears rugs out from the bottom up. We clean rugs carefully, matching the method to the fiber and dye so colors stay put.
In late May 2019, flooding left inches of standing water downtown, washed out streets and had residents pumping water out of their basements. Nickerson sits on the Arkansas River, and the river valley's sandy ground tracks into homes all year. Wheat harvest in June and July adds chaff and field dust.
Nickerson has some of the oldest housing in the area. Census estimates show about half of its homes were built before 1940, and most are single-family houses. We clean homes and businesses across Nickerson. Nickerson is about 12 miles northwest of Hutchinson.

About Nickerson, Kansas
Nickerson was laid out in 1872, when the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway reached the spot, and it was named for Thomas Nickerson, the railroad's president. The first post office ran out of a sod house starting in 1873. A wooden bridge crossed the Arkansas River by 1879, and Nickerson was incorporated that June.
In 1899 the Legislature created Reno County High School here, and Nickerson College also operated in town. By 1912 Nickerson was the second largest town in Reno County, with mills, grain elevators, two banks and an opera house. Houses in Nickerson were used for scenes in the 1955 film Picnic.
