This is what separates Simonian from every other rug cleaner in the Bay Area. Most cleaners treat every rug the same. We never have — and never will.
“We identify before we touch. This is where other cleaners fail — and where we begin.”
The dyes in a 200-year-old Persian Tabriz behave completely differently from a modern Indian wool rug or a Navajo flat-weave. One wrong chemical and you've done irreversible damage.
This is why professional cleaners bring their most difficult rugs to us. It starts here, at the inspection table, with eyes that have been reading rugs for seven decades.
The inspection isn't a step in our process. It is the foundation of everything we do.
Every rug goes through all six dimensions — skipping any one of them is how other cleaners cause damage. This is the complete picture we build before any cleaning begins.
Walk in with your rug during business hours. The inspection starts immediately, at no charge.
Not sure? We'll identify it for free at drop-off. Here's how each type is different — and why it matters for cleaning.
Most rug cleaners — even experienced ones — skip a formal inspection and go straight to cleaning. The result is a gamble every single time.
We've seen it repeatedly: a rug comes back from another cleaner with colors that have run, a backing that has separated, or fringe that has disintegrated. In some cases the damage is permanent.
Since 1956, our reputation has been built on not gambling with your rugs. The inspection isn't optional. It is the foundation of everything we do.
