If you’ve lived in Austin for any amount of time, you know there’s nothing quite like a great area rug. Rugs make a home feel grounded, warm, and personal — but they also tend to collect every bit of Austin life: pet fur, dust, spills, muddy footprints from Zilker walks, and whatever gets tracked in after weekend projects in the garage.
At K&M Steam Cleaning, we built our locally owned, family business on one simple promise:
Make it easy for Austin families to keep their homes clean — without stress, without gimmicks, and without long wait times.
Our drop-off and pick-up rug cleaning service is one of the ways we keep that promise every single day.
Why Austin Homeowners Love Our Drop-Off Rug Cleaning Service
Some customers want in-home rug cleaning, and we’re always happy to roll up in one of our vans.
But more and more Austin residents are choosing to bring their rugs straight to our rug cleaning facility near The Domain — and for good reason.
✔ Faster turnarounds
When rugs come straight to the shop, our team can begin the multi-step cleaning process immediately, without scheduling around in-home appointments.
✔ Lower cost than in-home rug cleaning
No travel time. No home setup. No equipment hauling.
Just savings — and we pass them directly to you.
✔ Curbside, hands-free service
Pull up, pop your trunk, and we’ll handle the rest.
When your rug is ready, we’ll help load it back into your vehicle.
✔ Deep-cleaning equipment only available in a facility
Our shop has large immersion pits, dusting equipment, drying racks, and specialty tools designed for:
- Wool rugs
- Oriental rugs
- Silk rugs
- Synthetic rugs
- Antique and heirloom rugs
- Shag rugs
- High-pile rugs
- Hand-knotted and hand-tufted rugs
This type of cleaning simply can’t be done anywhere except at a dedicated rug washing facility.
What Makes K&M Different? We’re Family-Owned Austin Locals — Not a Franchise
K&M Steam Cleaning started decades ago as a husband-and-wife operation with the simple goal of doing right by customers.
And even though we’ve grown to become one of Austin’s best-reviewed home-services companies, we’re still proudly local:
- No corporate owners
- No national franchise rules
- No upsell scripts
Just a team of Austin cleaning professionals who care about the work and the people we serve.
When you drop off your rugs with K&M, you’re supporting a business that has invested in this community for generations — and you’re getting the kind of service only a local family business delivers.
How Our Drop-Off Rug Cleaning Works (Step-by-Step)
We keep it simple:
1. Schedule or come by during drop-off hours
Call (888) 908-5933 to schedule a drop-off or swing by during open hours.
2. Curbside unload
One of our team members meets you outside, unloads your rugs, and walks them into the facility for inspection.
3. Rug identification & fiber testing
We determine the rug type, dye stability, weave structure, and any special concerns (pet stains, odors, spills, color bleeding risk, etc.).
4. Dusting and dry soil removal
We use mechanical dusting to remove deep-down dry soil — the kind vacuuming can never reach.
5. Customized washing process
Every rug type gets its own method. We may use:
- Full immersion washing
- Hot water extraction
- Low-moisture washing
- Specialty wool or silk-safe shampoos
- Enzyme treatments for pet odor
- Spot and stain treatments
6. Controlled drying
Rugs dry flat or hung in a monitored environment to prevent shrinkage, rippling, or warping.
7. Final grooming & inspection
We brush fibers in the correct direction, check fringe work, and make sure everything meets our standards — and yours.
8. Pick-up with curbside loading
Once your rug is ready, we’ll notify you by text, email, or phone.
When you arrive, we’ll load it into your vehicle for you.
Fast, easy, and no heavy lifting.
Why Drop-Off Rug Cleaning Saves You Money
When rugs are cleaned inside your home, technicians must:
- Carry equipment inside
- Set up multiple tools
- Protect floors and furniture
- Work around pets, kids, and tight spaces
In our shop, we skip all of that — and you get professional cleaning for less.
Many customers save 20–40% simply by choosing drop-off.
Pet Owners Love Us (and We Love Your Pets)
Rugs take the brunt of pet life — accidents, stains, oils, fur, and odors.
Our facility cleaning process allows deeper odor removal than in-home cleaning, including:
- Enzyme flushing
- Submersion decontamination
- Odor neutralization
- Wool-safe treatments
If you’ve tried everything and still smell “dog,” “cat,” or “something mystery,” bring it to us.
We clean what pet spray products cannot.
We Clean Every Rug Style Austin Homes Use
Because we’re a true rug-cleaning facility—not just a carpet cleaning company—we can safely clean nearly any material:
- Wool
- Silk
- Cotton
- Synthetic blends
- Nylon
- Olefin
- Polyester
- Viscose
- Bamboo silk
- Shag / high-pile
- Natural fiber
- Heirloom and hand-knotted
- Antique and delicate rugs
If it’s a rug, we’ve seen it, we’ve cleaned it, and we know how to protect it.
