We begin our story in Palestine in 1918 with two brothers, Joseph Eways the older brother and Salem M. Eways the younger. They started selling textiles and began their business of cleaning rugs in Palestine in 1918. My Grandfather has a son Terry, who went to the University of Virginia, and my grandfather came to Charlottesville to visit; well, he never left. He came to Charlottesville in the 1960's and had a storefront in University shopping center. This is where a new era was born. He soon passed away from cancer in 1965, and my father, Frank S. Eways, came down from Pennsylvania to take over the family business.

Eways Rugs is the region's premier rug showroom, offering only the finest quality area rugs in the industry. A third-generation rug merchant, Frank S. Eways, Jr. is continuing the legacy set forth by his grandfather and father. The Showroom is open Monday - Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. We are closed on Sundays. From 29 North, turn right onto 33 East, headed towards Gordonsville. Then make the first immediate left onto Moore Rd. Continue on Moore Rd. for approximately 1000 ft. and we are located on the left-hand side, just past Meadows Nursery.

The Eways family has been professionally hand cleaning area rugs for over 100 years. We still mix the same cleaning solution that Frank's grandfather, Salem Eways, mixed years ago. Our cleaning process is 100% green and environmentally safe for children and pets. Our process of air dusting and vacuuming eliminates harmful dust, bacteria, and particulates that cause poor air quality and health issues. Our experts will thoroughly evaluate each rug to ensure the correct cleaning method. We gently hand clean all of our rugs.
