Kerman Rug Kerman Carpet Restoration

We received a huge 12' x 23' hand knotted Persian Kerman carpet for cleaning and restoration. It was dirty, full of dust and also with glue on the back. Probably it was thought that the glue could save the rug and protect it from falling apart. We washed, cleaned and sanitized the rug first and one of our master weavers started the process by making the foundation based on which he could tie the knots. To re-weave the damaged areas we had to use the other healthy corner of the rug as a model and sample to follow the design which was very detailed in this particular Kerman rug.

It took us 45 days to restore the rug and our customer was overwhelmed when he saw the rug in our store. I loved that moment when he was smiling and trying unsuccessfully to identify the restored corner. That is why I love my job. I love to see happy customers who appreciate what we do for them and for their rugs.

Moroccan Rugs and Kilims Cleaning Los Angeles

We sometimes receive Moroccan kilims and rugs for cleaning and repair. If these pieces are not washed by a professional, some colors may run and bleed. We had a customer few weeks ago who had washed her Moroccan kilim in her bathtub to save money. She messed the colors up and learned it the hard way. When she brought her kilim in, it was full of dye bleeding and bubbles. We corrected that for her. Many of these Moroccan flat weaves and kilims need repair and securing the fringes at least on one end. The wefts become lose after using the kilims on the floor and vacuuming them; therefore they need to be secured so the knots do not come off.

Hand Knotted Persian Varamin Rugs and Carpets

In our Rug Tent Sale, we sold several hand knotted Persian rugs, two of which were Varamin carpets from our own looms and productions. Two different customers bought these pieces separately. Varamin is a small town 25 miles south east Tehran with a rich history of rug weaving. These beautiful and collectible rugs are made with hand spun wool and natural dye. Each piece was unique with overall design. The red one had "Camel Foot" design and the ivory one had Shah Abbassi design.

Cat Scratch Pet Scratch Rugs Restoration

Dogs scratch the ground and cats scratch the rugs. Cats mark their territories with scratching and this can be a work out, stretching and yoga for them as well. It gives them pleasure and it feels good to scratch. You can get your cat a scratching pole (sisal is recommended), but she still may scratch you rugs. That is why we have "Cat Scratch Restoration" services for your rugs.

Here I am posting few pictures of a tufted rug with cat scratches. We did the cleaning first and one of our technicians is restoring the rug and taking care of the scratches with our special shearing machine.

Hadji Jalili Carpets Haji Jalili Rugs of Tabriz

We had a very busy and hectic day today. We started at 8:30 am by going to a clients home in Beverly Hills. He had few rugs for cleaning. Three of his six rugs were Hadji Jalili Tabriz carpets. They needed some repair and securing the ends. Two of these were 4' x 6' and one carpet was a big 9' x 13' Haji Jalili. This client had a very good taste and had a couple of other beautiful Kerman Ravar rug and a Malayer Kurdish runner. They all needed cleaning and repair. We picked them all up.

We then went to another client's home to give estimate for her five rugs for cleaning and repair. One antique 100-year old Kashan, two Romanian rugs, and a couple of other pieces. I had quoted her over the phone. She called in and said she had received lower prices than ours. I had to go to her house myself to convince her that she should not go by the price but the quality of the work. We picked up all her rugs.

Our third stop today was an appraisal project for 14 rugs for insurance purposes with selling three big rug pads. We measured each rug, took notes and pictures. When I feel that I should go to my customers' homes to give estimate to get the jobs, I go there myself and come back with the rugs.

I had my lunch around 5:00 pm and got home around 7:00 pm.
