Rug Cleaning Carpet Cleaning Los Angeles: A Personal Service and Final Touch

We receive many Oriental, Persian and area rugs for cleaning, repair and stain removal. After we are done with the job and before we deliver them to our clients or their pick ups, we inspect them one by one to make sure they look their best. We hand vacuum them and do final inspections. Our customers deserve to receive the best possible services and this is what sets us apart from our competitors. We're not the cheapest, but we are not the most expensive rug care and service provider either. But we can claim to be one of the best in greater Los Angles area. We pay attention to details.

Rug Cleaning, Rug Repair promotions

We love our customers and sometimes we legally bribe them by giving them good promotional items. They also love these free of charge gifts. Who doesn't like free stuff these days?A couple of weeks ago, we ordered durable bags/tote with our website and telephone numbers on them. We received the bags today. I love them. They look great. As usual, Teresa, a BNI friend who has a promotional company named Gifted Creative Marketing Solutions does and makes these items for our company.

In Santa Monica and in other neighboring cities of Los Angeles, there will be a ban on using plastic bags and giving them to customers in the stores and in the supermarkets. This is to save the environment and we will help our customers to joint this green movement. So far, I have given few of these bags to few customers who have stopped by to pick up their cleaned and repaired rugs. They all loved the bags.

I am a Trojan and a USC (University of Southern California) alumni. These bags, like USC logo and other stuff, have burgundy and gold colors. I like the bags to remind me of my great university from which I got my second master's degree and my Ph.D.

Cheap Rug Cleaning and Repair in Los Angeles

Sometimes customers who want to buy rugs, or have their rugs cleaned and repaired, shop around and their only consideration is "low prices". I just found something for them:

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory.
-- Aldo Gucci

I liked this phrase since we are not a company which does cheap jobs. We are knowledgeable and do our job properly. Good jobs should be reasonable but cannot be cheap.

A Busy Sunday With Rug Sale and Rug Cleaning

It was a relatively busy Sunday yesterday. A young couple who had bought two rugs on Saturday returned a small one (4 x 6) and exchanged it with a 5 x 8 tufted Indian rug. They also got a super fine rug pad. They were excited to have this rug and mentioned how happy they were with their other rug they had bought earlier.

A couple who had brought in two rugs for cleaning and repair last Saturday from Irvine, some 50 miles away from Los Angeles where we are brought in three more rugs for cleaning and repair. They picked up two other rugs they had with us for repair and cleaning. We opened up the rugs and showed them the repaired part. They liked the cleaning and the repair. They were dressed up to go to Los Angeles Philharmonics concert.

One more prospect walked into our rug gallery and looked at some Persian rugs. She was not sure about the size she was looking for. She said she would measure the room for which she needs a rug and would comeback next week.

My Rug Gallery and Sunset

It is Saturday evening and I was going to leave to go home. I saw beautiful scenes of sunset from our big parking lot. I took some pictures that I like to share with you.

It was relatively a busy Saturday. couple of customers who had rugs for cleaning and repair, picked up their rugs. Two customers also bought two rugs and rug pads.

Few other customers also came in separately and looked at some rugs. They were not sure about the size and wanted to measure the room and come back or said they would stop by again with their spouses.

Persian Sarouk Carpets, American Sarouk Antique Rugs Los Angeles

Two weeks ago, a couple brought an antique American Sarouk carpet with the size of 6 x 9 foot to our rug gallery. They had bought this beautiful Sarouk rug for around $250 from an estate auction!! The rug was worth around $5,000. They had taken it to another rug dealer who had said the rug was worth $10,000 and he wanted to charge them more than $2,000 to fix the fringes and repair the selvages.

Apparently the rug was sent to a rug cleaning facility in the past and they had attached a prefabricated fringe to the rug and had glued it to the rug. Doing this of rug repair was very unprofessional. The couple gave us the job. We unraveled roughly one inch from each end and the secured the fringes which were part of the foundation of the carpet. To have a balanced design, we also unraveled one each from each side and made brand new wool selvages. Now the rug look perfect and ready to be used and enjoyed for many more decades if it is properly taken care of.

Rugs, Market, and Gas Prices in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills

On may 28, 2008 I posted couple of photos from a gas station in Beverly Hills. The Premium gas price was $4.76 which I thought was very high. I happened to pass by that gas station again yesterday. The Premium gas price was $497!!! That is unbelievable!! Soaring gas prices is decreasing the purchasing power of the people and this has effected our rug market severely here in Los Angeles. Our rug cleaning and repair market is also effected by this lowering purchasing power of the people.

Rug Cleaning Rug Repair Beverly Hills Los Angeles

I went to a customer's home in Beverly Hills last evening. They had an old Tabriz rug which needed cleaning, repair of the selvages on two sides and repair of the fringes on both ends. Since I had my camera with me, I took a couple of pictures from the street with beautiful trees all in blossoms. Beverly Hills is a small but rich and famous city in the city of Los Angeles. Out of its 33,000 residents, 25% are Persians! The city had a Persian mayor Mr. Jimmy Delshad up to few months ago. After his term finished, Mr. Delshad is a city council member in Beverly Hills.
