Area Rug Cleaning and Repair in Los Angeles

We picked up a very dirty area rug from a high school in Hollywood for cleaning and repair. This rug had been in use in a very high traffic area for years. It was dusty and dirty. We hand and wet washed after it was fully dusted. The outcome of the cleaning was great and the rug looked nice, shiny and soft again.

Now it was the time to repair the fringes which were severely damaged and ripped on both ends. We replaced and repaired the fringes and this rug looked great again. It looked brand new.

So if you have a rug which looks dirty and ugly, give it to us for professional cleaning and repair. We will bring it back to life and you're going to love it again. Call us to arrange the pick up. We're open 6 days a week. Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday from 12:00 to 5:00 pm.

Rug Over-Dyeing in Los Angeles

We provide many rug related services among which I can mention over-dyeing rugs.

Here, I am posting pictures of a 9' x 12' hand knotted Pakistani carpet. Our client was bored with its muted color as it did not match the color of her bedroom with the Pacific Ocean view. She liked a shade of blue color which is called "Iris Blue". We did the over-dyeing and it looked great. Now, the newly dyed rug matches the interior of her bedroom. She did not have to buy a new rug. Now she spends more time in her bedroom doing art works. She is an artist.

If you have a rug but do not like the color of it, ask for our dye chart. We can almost dye it to any color you like.

Professional Rug Cleaning in Los Angeles

We do not do dry, steam or surface cleaning of rugs. This is what wall-wall carpet cleaners do. What we do is professional deep and hand wet washing of hand made and area rugs. At the same time, we give information on the rugs we clean to the owners. This includes the origin, construction, age, design, history and today's market value of the rugs. We provide value and customized services for our customers.

As soon as we receive rugs for cleaning or repair, we inspect them and based on the condition of the rugs, determine the method of cleaning or repair. We always take many high resolution before and after pictures for our files and sometimes share these pictures with our clients if needed.

We also give different booklets, brochures and types of information to our customers on care and maintenance of rugs. Our customers receive gifts as well. Giving gifts to our clients is a habit and culture in our company.

Rug Carpet Repair in Los Angeles

Three weeks ago, we received a severely damaged hand knotted Pakistan rug from a client for cleaning and repair. We did the hand wash and cleaning first. And then one of our master weavers was assigned to do the repair. He started by doing some clean ups first. Then he made the foundation on which he had to do the re-weaving.

Matching the color of the wool yarn we had to use and then matching the design and construction required a lot of care and professionalism. Our master weaver worked on the repair and re-weaving for a few days.

After re-weaving was done, he sheared the extra wool pile and did some final touch ups. The outcome of the repair was great.

Our client could not be happier when she stopped by to pick up her rug which was back to life again.

If you have a damaged rug, no matter what the cause is, bring in it or call us for the pick up. We will do the repair and will bring it back to life again.

Rug Repair in Los Angeles

We repair many types of rugs by our master rug repairmen and women. Sometimes bindings and selvages of rugs on the sides are damaged. Sometimes tassels and fringes at the ends are damaged. We take care of these damages in a couple of days. Down sizing rugs is another service we provide.

 A client brought in this rug and wanted us to make an oval rug out of it. We measured and marked the rug and cut it. One of our master weavers then secured the edges and did the bindings by hand. Out of the scraps, we also made two square rugs that she can use by her bed.

If you have a rug for repair, or down sizing, give us a call to discuss it or ring it in. Our showroom is open six days a week.

Rug Cleaning, Rug repair, Stain removal and Rug Appraisal Los Angeles

Since 1953 we have been in the rug business and we speak rug.

We deal with a variety of rug issues including cleaning, repair, water damage restoration, pet urine stain removal, pet scratch restoration and rug appraisal.

Our professional deep and hand washing process which is different from others works in the following way:

-First we inspect incoming rugs to determine the best way to clean/restore them, and then we take digital photos (before & after). Rugs are dusted to loosen/remove the dirt, and dust.

-It then goes for shampooing (back and face) using special enzymes that are non-toxic.

-A thorough water bath rinsing follows and the final step is natural drying.

Our technique is superior to others as we do not do dry, steam, or surface cleaning like wall-wall carpet cleaners. We do deep professional rug cleaning. We can help you save, restore and maintain your rugs so they can continue to be used and enjoyed for years to come.

Please give us a call at 310-770-9085 to schedule the pick-up of your rug. We’re open 6 days a week.

Karastan Rug Karastan Carpet Cleaning and Repair in Los Angeles

Karastan rugs are made here in the U.S. with the best material and highest craftsmanship. I had the pleasure of visiting one of the Karastan mills and plants which is located in Eden, North Carolina in early May, 2013. It was a great experience. The company was established in 1926 in Atlanta, Georgia and its first rug entered the market in 1928.

We receive many Karastan rugs which are machine made rugs for professional cleaning. These rugs are made with imported New Zealand wool pile. We inspect each rug individually and take before and after pictures. Then we do dusting and shampooing. Rinsing follows next to make sure shampoo and residues are not left in the rugs. Then we dry them. If rugs are not dry completely, they would smell.

This Karastan rug was dropped off at our store. It was left wet in storage for more than a year. Many areas were rotten with mildew.We cleaned and wet washed it. After that, we removed all the damaged and rotten parts and down-sized the rug.

The result of our cosmetic repair which took us three days to do was great and our customer was extremely happy. We love to see happy customers with big smiles on their faces.

Rug Carpet Stain Removal. This Time Nail Polish

Besides selling, cleaning, repairing and appraising rugs, we do stain removal of Persian, Oriental and area machine made rugs. We received a phone call from a client whose daughter had dropped a bottle of nail polish on her grand mother's rug. This client was nervous and did not want her mother to see the rug with a big nail polish stain on it. They had tried to remove the stain themselves with no luck. And this was when they called us.

We picked the rug up on Saturday morning and washed it to get all the dust and soil out. After that worked on the stain removal and could take the nail polish off in stages. Our client was so happy with the outcome and shook our hands and said "I am relieved now"

So if you have a stained rug no matter what the stain is, come to us and let us WOW you! We can almost take care of any stain including pet urine stains, red wine, coffee, blood, food, gum and other tough stains.

Rug Cleaning, Rug Repair in Los Angeles

Rugs mostly get damaged on the ends and their fringes start to deteriorate. This maybe due to foot traffic or improper vacuuming. When we receive or pick up a rug for cleaning or repair and the fringes at the ends are damaged, we unravel and remove the loose fringes. We then secure the fringes to make sure the knots do not come off.

Here, I am posting before and after repair photos of a Bokhara Pakistani rug. The fringes were messed up due to foot traffic. We unraveled the loose fringes first. Then, we secured and trimmed the fringes to make sure the knots do not come off. Our customer was very happy with the repair job and said she loved this rug again.

Hook Rug Cleaning and Repair in Los Angeles

We picked up an old hook rug from one of our clients for cleaning and repair few weeks ago. One of our master weavers was assigned to work on the repair and restoration of this rug which had sentimental value to the owner. Our weaver did a great job and after we inspected the rug, we delivered to our clients house and placed it under her bed.

After the rug was delivered, we received a letter from our client. This is what she wrote.

Dr. Kay,

What an amazing job you did on our rug. That rug has been in the family for years and has a lot of sentimental value to my husband. I had given hope. I thought at last, I would get a patch job but instead I got back a masterpiece. Thank you for your hard work and kindness.

Best,

Krishna & Bob D.
