Family of master weavers sell, trade, as well as clean and restore rugs

Home Décor Fine Rugs has more than 8,500 area rugs in stock. The business, which is owned by the Ghods family, not only sells and trades rugs, it also cleans and restores them. The Ghods have a long family history in the rug business with three generations of master rug weavers. With more than 50 years of experience, Home Décor has the answers to many questions about rug cleaning.

Here are the Gholds answers to some of the most common concerns:

Is there any probability of shrinkage? Shrinkage is linked to the type of equipment and cleaning material used. Over drying and long hours of being wet may also lead to shrinkage. We use an 11-step handwashing technique to professionally clean rugs. We start the rug cleaning with a thorough inspection looking for damage, unraveling and for colors that may run in the cleaning process.

Is it possible to repair a faded carpet and restore it?

Repairs depend on the amount of damage to the rug fiber. Each rug is carefully inspected for color runs. Even if the carpet was left to fade for several years and its fibers has sustained serious damage, it is possible to restore it .

How can I clean liquid and food spills on a rug?

If you spill a liquid, use white paper towels to soak up excess moisture; then rinse and blot again with a wet towel. Raise the wet area until dry. Remove food spills as carefully as possible with a dull knife, then follow the same steps as for liquids.

“We are here not only to wash the dirt, but keep your memories intact and bring them lively again,” Amir Ghods said.
