Gilbert and Mary Herrington started Deep Eddy Washateria in 1953. The original location was on Lake Austin Blvd. by Deep Eddy Swimming Pool. After 4 years in the clothes cleaning business, Mr. Herrington started cleaning rugs and carpet. The name was changed to Deep Eddy Rug and Carpet Cleaners in 1957. After being in downtown Austin for over 30 years Deep Eddy opened its location on Burnet LANE. Deep Eddy has been in its present location for the last 14 years.
Since 1976 the company has been owned and run by Ron Herrington who went to work for his father after graduating from the University of Texas. At the present time there are 3 generations of the Herrington familymembers working at Deep Eddy.
Deep Eddy was the first company to have truck mount cleaning in the state of Texas and the first to install rainwater rug washing in America. Deep Eddy Rug and Carpet Cleaners is still owned and operated like a small family business with total attention to customer satisfaction. If quality work and great customer service is more important than the cheapest price, we are the first company to call.
