A small city with its own wells

San Fernando covers only 2.4 square miles, and the City of Los Angeles wraps around it, with Sylmar, Lake View Terrace, Pacoima and Mission Hills along its edges. It stayed a city of its own because of its groundwater, and it still runs its own water system from wells in the Sylmar basin. That well water is hard, so it is worth remembering that whatever goes into a carpet has to come back out, since leftover soap pulls dirt back in.

The Lopez Adobe on Pico Street was built in 1882 and is one of the two oldest private homes in the Valley. A city with that much history tends to hold older furniture and older rugs as well, and those deserve a closer look than a new sofa does before anything wet touches them.

July afternoons in this part of the Valley average about 90 degrees. A cleaned carpet dries best with air moving through the room, so open the windows on a sunny, dry day and run fans or the heating and cooling fan when the weather is not cooperating.

Older homes under many roofs

Most homes were built before 1970
The typical home dates from 1956, so plenty of floors and carpets here have been through decades of use. When you call, mention the age of the carpet if you know it.

Houses first, duplexes close behind
About three in four homes are detached houses, and duplexes and small buildings make up most of the rest. In a small building a spill or a pet accident is felt right away, which makes spot and odor treatment a common question.

Renters and the carpet label
About four in ten households rent. Where a landlord owns the carpet, the manufacturer’s care instructions matter, because skipping the maintenance they call for can void a warranty.

What tends to matter most here

Older furniture and older floors point first to rug cleaning and upholstery cleaning, then to carpet cleaning for the rooms that are still wall to wall. A hand-woven rug needs a look at the fiber before anyone picks a method, and viscose rugs, sold as art silk or banana silk, can yellow and mat when wet. Pet stain and odor treatment is worth asking about in a city of small houses and duplexes.

Questions from San Fernando

Can an old wool rug be cleaned safely?

It depends on the rug. Woven Oriental, Turkish and Persian rugs are best left to a professional, so tell the office the size, the age and anything you know about the dyes when you call (844) 966-2005.

What happens to a viscose rug when it gets wet?

The fibers are weak and can yellow, stiffen or mat, which is why scrubbing is avoided. If your rug is sold as art silk or banana silk, say so on the call.

Is anyone there on weekends?

Yes. The office answers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and you can send the online form at any time.

Do the Santa Ana winds make my carpet dirtier?

Those winds are hot, dry and dusty, and they blow in from the desert. A vacuum handles the loose dry dust, so run one after a windy spell and let a cleaning deal with whatever has settled deeper into the pile.

I rent a duplex in San Fernando. Who decides about cleaning?

That is between you and your landlord, usually through the lease. When you call (844) 966-2005, the office can explain what a cleaning involves so you can have that conversation with the details in hand.
