Local, Licensed & Insured
Ever had a rug turn sticky a week after a cleaning?
That tacky feeling is detergent the machine couldn't rinse back out. It dries inside the fiber and stays put, catching whatever the next pair of shoes carries onto the rug.

Rug pickup in Homewood
The closest suburb over the mountain gets the same trip as any other
Homewood sits just over Red Mountain from downtown Birmingham, and our routes run through it from the shops on 18th Street South out Oxmoor Road to West Homewood. Whatever the address, a bungalow in Edgewood or an apartment off Lakeshore Drive, the pickup and the delivery cost nothing.
The rug is opened out where it lies and the technician reads it: fiber, construction, dyes, wear, and any mark that will fade without leaving. Then comes the measuring and a price in writing. Only after your yes does it get rolled and loaded.
The wash happens at our plant: dusting first, then a wash chosen for the fiber, a full rinse, a complete dry and an inspection, and the rug is back at your door in 5 to 7 business days as a rule. You see it unrolled before you pay for anything.
Our Promise
Satisfaction guaranteed, on every rug we wash.
Unroll it, walk on it, look it over in your own light. Point out anything you'd like washed again and it goes back through the plant at no charge, whether you notice it at the door or a few days later. No store credit, no runaround.
How it works
How a Rug Runners pickup works
Book a cleaning
Call, text or book online. You pick the day, often the same day, and an exact arrival time, not a four-hour window.
We measure at your door
Our uniformed tech looks the rug over with you, measures it and writes the price down before it leaves the house.
Washed at our plant
Dusting, a wash matched to the fiber, a controlled dry and a final inspection, all backed by our guarantee.
Delivered back
Most rugs are home in 5–7 business days. We bring it in, roll it out and put the furniture back.
Pickup streets in Homewood
Edgewood, Hollywood, Rosedale, West Homewood and downtown
Edgewood pickups center on the bungalows around Oxmoor Road and Broadway Street; Hollywood on the Spanish Colonial houses along Hollywood Boulevard and Bonita Drive; Rosedale and Oak Grove on their side streets; and West Homewood around Patriot Park, Edgemoor Estates and the restaurants on Oxmoor Road.
Downtown, the townhomes and condos around SoHo Square and 18th Street South are on the route, as are the apartments along Lakeshore Drive near Samford and the Shades Creek Greenway. With more than four in ten Homewood homes in multi-unit buildings, carrying rugs up and down stairs is simply part of the job.
The wash, matched to cotton and wool
What a Homewood living-room rug gets at the plant
Homewood rugs are working rugs: cotton and wool pieces in bungalow living rooms and halls that take strollers, cleats, dogs and the occasional spilled cup. They come to the plant with a film on the pile and a load of grit in the foundation, and the dusting takes the grit out before any water touches the rug.
Cotton is washed flat with the dyes tested first, so a dark border never runs into a cream field, and dried quickly so it keeps its shape and its color. Wool is washed cool, rinsed clean so no residue stays behind to hold the next round of dirt, and dried through before it is rolled. Synthetic rugs from the kids' rooms can be washed hard, and they come home looking like the day they were bought.
Pet accidents are the other Homewood regular. A UV light at the door shows every spot, and the plant wash dissolves the salts in the foundation and rinses them away, which is the only way the smell actually leaves. The treatment is backed by our 100% pet odor removal guarantee, explained in full on the pet urine and odor page.

Rugs out, everything else cleaned in place
One booking covers the rugs, the carpet and the couch
While the rugs go out, the carpet in the bedrooms, the couch, the chairs and the mattresses stay put and get cleaned by the same technician, with little moisture and no residue, so the room is dry in about an hour. A pickup from a shop can include the lobby carpet and the office chairs on the same stop.
Every booking starts at $99, and the rest of the price is set by the tape measure alone: on average roughly a dollar or two per square foot, cotton and wool at the same rate as the synthetics. That number goes on paper at your door and is the same number at delivery.
Every rug we wash is covered by our satisfaction guarantee: unroll it, look it over, and if something still bothers you, it gets a second wash, free of charge.

Questions from Homewood
What Homewood customers want to know first
Do you wash cotton flatweave rugs, or should I just use my washer?
Send it with us. A cotton flatweave or dhurrie looks simple, but a home washer twists it, pulls the ends out of square and can bleed a dark border into a light field. At the plant it is dusted, washed flat with the dyes tested first, rinsed and dried flat, so it comes back the shape it was. Cotton is priced by the square foot like any other rug, and you get the figure in writing at the door before the rug goes anywhere.
Can you clean the entry mats and runners for a shop on 18th Street South?
Yes. Shops, restaurants and offices downtown and around SoHo Square send us their entry mats, hall runners and lobby rugs, and the van collects them at a time that suits the business within our Monday to Saturday hours. Each piece is measured and priced in writing, washed at the plant and returned dry, and a standing schedule can be set up so the mats rotate without anyone having to remember to call.
If I move while the rug is at the plant, can it come to the new house?
Yes, and it comes up often in Homewood, where many households rent. Give us the new address when the rug is collected, or text it to us during the week the rug is away, and the delivery goes there, anywhere on our routes, with no charge for the change. It helps to allow the usual five to seven business days between the pickup and the day you need the rug down in the new place.
Is a rug the kids and the dog have worn in still worth washing?
Nearly always. A wool or cotton rug in a busy living room looks tired because of grit in the foundation and a film on the pile, and both come out in the wash. At the door the technician points out any stain that will only soften and any worn patch that will still be worn, so you decide knowing what you will get back. Most of these rugs surprise their owners at delivery.
Do you pick up from rentals and student apartments along Lakeshore Drive?
Yes. Apartments along Lakeshore Drive, the townhomes and condos around downtown and SoHo Square, and the duplexes on the side streets all get the same door-to-door pickup as a house. Tell us the unit and where to park, and the technician carries the rug down and brings it back up. A move-out wash can be delivered to the next address, and if you cannot be there, the written price can be approved by text before the rug leaves.
