Rug Cleaning in Austin: From 1996 to Today

Back in 1996, Austin’s neighborhoods were a little quieter. The skyline didn’t have the Seaholm smokestacks lit up yet, and the drag on Guadalupe was still buzzing with coffee shops like Les Amis and Tower Records across the street. Families would head to Northcross Mall to skate or shop, and weekends meant a stop at Schlotzsky’s original location on South Congress.

That was also the year K&M Steam Cleaning opened its doors. From the very beginning, we’ve been helping Austinites take care of their rugs—whether it’s a fine wool Persian passed down through generations or the trusty living room rug that kids and pets have put to the test.

Rug Cleaning Services the Austin Way

We knew in 1996 that families needed options, so we’ve always offered flexible rug cleaning services:

  • In-Home Rug Cleaning – Perfect for large area rugs you’d rather not move.
  • Drop-Off Service – Bring your rug to us, just like folks used to drop by our original Austin shop.
  • Pick-Up & Delivery – We’ll come to you, handle the heavy lifting, and return your rug fresh and clean.

Our multi-step rug cleaning process gently but thoroughly removes dirt, allergens, and stains while preserving the rug’s fibers and colors.

Then & Now: From Yellow Pages to Google Maps

In ’96, you’d flip through the Yellow Pages under “Carpet & Rug Cleaners to find us. Today, you can schedule a rug cleaning in seconds from your phone. The technology may have changed, but our care for your rugs hasn’t.
