Stays cleaner 3× Longer between cleanings measured against traditional steam cleaning

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.

✓Nothing sticky left behindOur low-moisture method puts only a little solution into the rug and takes the soil out with it, so no soapy film is left for dirt to cling to.
✓Stays cleaner about 3× longerOn average, a rug cleaned our way holds its look about three times longer between visits than a rug given a traditional steam cleaning.
✓No re-soiling a month laterThe dull path that reappears a few weeks after a cleaning is almost always residue pulling soil back. Take the residue away and it stops happening.
✓Hand-washed at our plantFree pickup and delivery, and every rug is matched to a method that suits its fiber.

Rug pickup in Northport

The rug goes out with us, and the chore goes with it

A lot of Northport works across the river and has no spare hour to haul a rug anywhere. So the rug does not go anywhere on its own. On a route day the technician comes to the house, in Huntington Place or Bellwood or up Highway 69, and the rug leaves rolled under his arm with the price already agreed.

That agreement happens on your floor. The rug is spread out, the fiber and the weave are read, the dyes are tested, and any mark that may lighten without going away is pointed out while you are both looking at it. The tape goes across, the figure is written down, and you say yes before anything is rolled.

Northport is a good hour west of everything else on our map, and the drive is ours to make, not yours to pay for. Pickup and delivery are free at every address in all three ZIPs, and the office confirms a route day as soon as you book.

Northport rugs, washed by fiber

Bedroom rugs, basement playrooms and the runner on the stairs

Northport is a town of family subdivisions, so the rugs that ride east with us are the ones children and dogs live on: the soft synthetic in a bedroom, the big one in a Northwood Lake basement, the wool runner in the upstairs hall of a Bristol Park two-story. The synthetics are washed hard and rinsed long. The wool gets cool water, no wringing and a flat dry so it comes back the shape it left.

Dusting comes first for every rug, and it pulls the dry grit out of the weave under the pile, the stuff that no vacuum reaches and that grinds at the fibers under every footstep. Dyes are checked so a red border stays put, fringe is washed on its own, and the rug is dried through before anyone rolls it for the ride back over the river.

A dog's accidents are behind plenty of the rugs we collect here. The salts sit deep in the weave, so a surface spray only hides them for a while. The wash at the plant rinses them out of the whole rug, and a UV light at pickup shows you exactly where they were. That treatment carries our 100% pet odor removal guarantee.

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.

One visit covers the house

Rugs leave for the plant; the carpet, the sofa and the mattress stay and get cleaned

The newer houses off Highway 69 and Mitt Lary Road run to hard floors with area rugs on top, and the older subdivisions to carpet upstairs and rugs down. Either way one visit covers it: the rugs ride out, and the technician who collected them cleans the carpet, the sofa and the mattresses where they are, using little water, so it is dry in about an hour and leaves no sticky film for next week's dirt to catch on. Offices along Mitt Lary Road get the same treatment for their carpet and lobby runners. Offices and commercial

The price is by the square foot, at a rate that does not depend on the fiber. Expect a rug to come in near a dollar or two a square foot on average. A natural-fiber rug, wool or silk or cotton or jute, sits at that same rate and gets a gentler wash for it. The job minimum is $99. You watch it being measured and you hold the written figure before the rug goes out the door.

The guarantee is simple: satisfaction on every rug we wash. Show us any spot you want another pass at when the rug comes back, and back it goes for a second wash on the house. Pet treatment carries its own promise on the odor.

Northport streets on the route

Northwood Lake, Bristol Park, Huntington Place and downtown

The van comes up McFarland Boulevard, US-82, across the Black Warrior River and works outward from there: downtown Northport along Main Avenue by the Kentuck Art Center, the small homes of Bellwood, and East Northport around Rice Mine Road and Bridge Avenue. Huntington Place, with its brick and fiber-cement traditionals, sits close to McFarland and is usually an early stop.

Up Highway 69 toward Lake Tuscaloosa the route takes in Northwood Lake, where the ranch and bi-level homes often have a basement with a rug in it, then Forest Glen and Glen Crest. Along Mitt Lary Road it reaches Bristol Park, the newer brick four- and five-bedroom homes near the Publix at Mitt Lary and Highway 69.

One thing to check before you book: Tuscaloosa's 35406 lies just east along Highway 69, so a north-of-the-river address can belong to either city. If yours is Tuscaloosa, here is our Tuscaloosa rug cleaning page. The route day and the pickup are the same on both sides of the line.

Northport questions

What Northport customers want to know

Is Northport really on your pickup list, this far west?

It is. Northport and Tuscaloosa share a route day, and the van comes up McFarland Boulevard across the river on that day to collect and deliver on the north bank. There is no travel fee and no mileage charge; pickup and delivery are free here exactly as they are in the towns an hour east. Book by call, text or online and the office pins down the first route day with room, and your arrival time on it.

Do I have to bring the rug across the bridge to you?

No. There is nowhere to drop a rug, because we come to the house. If you work across the river and will not be home, send a yes to the written price by text before the route day and say which room the rug is rolled up in; the technician measures it, confirms the figure matches, and takes it from there. For delivery, say where to leave it and the rug is unrolled and set in place when you are back.

The kids have wrecked the basement playroom rug at our Northwood Lake house. Can it be washed?

Almost certainly. A synthetic playroom rug is the toughest kind we see, and it can take a hard wash, a long rinse and a full dry without complaint. Juice, mud and crayon come out; a marker stain or a spot that set years ago may fade without vanishing, and the technician points those out at pickup so you know before you say yes. It comes back dry, soft and smelling of nothing.

Do you wash rugs and runners from an office near Northport Medical Center?

Yes. Lobby runners, entry mats and the rug in a waiting room along Mitt Lary Road are washed exactly like a rug from a living room, matched to the fiber, and several can ride on one pickup. If the office carpet needs doing too, that happens on the same visit, in place. Pickups run Monday through Saturday, 7 AM to 5 PM, and the written price covers every piece before any of them leaves the building.

Can I send more than one rug on the same Northport pickup?

Yes, and most households do. Each rug is unrolled, measured and priced separately on the ticket, so you can approve the lot or hold one back. They ride to the plant together, each gets the wash its fiber needs, and you hear which route day they ride home on once every one of them is dry and has passed its final inspection.

Beyond Northport

Over the bridge and back along the interstate

Tuscaloosa shares the route day from the other side of the river. McCalla, Bessemer, Helena and Maylene are the towns the van passes on its way back east.
