Rug Cleaning in Belle Meade

Belle Meade is where moths do their best work in this city, and the reason is the way the houses are used rather than anything wrong with them. A formal dining room or a front sitting room is dark most of the day under a heavy tree canopy, quiet, undisturbed for weeks at a stretch, and warm enough all summer. That is the exact specification a clothes moth is looking for, and larvae feed on the underside of the pile, so the surface still reads as intact while the knots behind it are going. Add a sideboard or a piano standing on one corner of the rug for thirty years and the sheltered strip under the furniture is never vacuumed, never lifted and never looked at. The second thing here is the canopy itself: shaded ground stays wet, the crawlspace under the floor stays humid with it, and a wool foundation over that floor holds more water than it feels like it does. Damage in this neighborhood is almost never something anybody spilled.
