History of the Company

Our oldest company, Adams and Swett, has been in continuous operation since 1856. Superior Rug Cleaning Company in Springfield, Massachusetts was founded in 1946 and in Bloomfield, Connecticut (originally John Leavitt Rug Cleaning Company) in 1947.

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. All repairs and restoration to fine Oriental rugs are done exclusively by hand.
