History
Our oldest company, Adams and Swett, has been in continuous operation since 1856. Back before the civil war, when clipper ships first brought bales of dazzling oriental rugs to the new world, two enterprising Bostonians started a rug cleaning business catering to the gentry from Beacon Hill and Charlestown. Though there have been many changes in those many years--back then rugs were picked up and delivered by horse and buggy--rugs are still principally cleaned by hand. Today, we still dust, wash, rinse and dry all rugs. Today, more than 150 years later, Adams & Swett has grown to become a leading full service rug cleaning business in New England. Our complete rug maintenance department provides fine hand repair of oriental and domestic rugs in addition to mothproofing, stainproofing, and deodorizing. For the most thorough, careful, and convenient carpet cleaning, you can count on the Adams and Swett's reputation - a reputation we've earned since 1856.
