Marrakech Rug Washing Company is the culmination of 18 years of cleaning textile products in the South Carolina upstate. We are family owned and operated by Pat and Travis Phillips. Starting as P.S. Carpet Cleaning in 1997 with a focus on cleaning carpet for large commercial contracts such as hotels, colleges and industrial plants, we shifted our focus to residential homes and a few small commercial applications. In 2005 we had the opportunity to attend one of the top rug washing schools in the country where we learned to clean rugs completely submerged in water. The school taught a week long course that included dry soil removal , fringe detailing, minor repairs, drying, fiber identification, and most importantly, the science of washing and drying hand made rugs. We cleaned wool, silk and cotton rugs from around the world but mostly from Persia, China, India, and Turkey. Thus the love and appreciation of cleaning hand made rugs was instilled in us. In 2012 we made the decision to build a rug washing facility that included an area for inspection and repairs as well as dry soil removal, a wash pit where we could soak, scrub and rinse rugs, and a drying tower to accommodate multiple rugs. For us, washing rugs has become one of those experiences that people often talk about but rarely get the chance to do, find something you love to do and then it won't be work. By adding rug washing as a significant part of our business, we are able to separate ourselves from most carpet cleaning companies. We still enjoy serving our customers who have wall to wall carpet and look forward to every cleaning opportunity. Many have become friends over the years and we enjoy "catching up".
