We pick up rugs all across Glenview: around The Glen and Glen Town Center, near Glenview Road, Waukegan Road and East Lake Avenue, and throughout the surrounding subdivisions. Each rug goes to our 10,000 sq ft workshop at 7300 N Lawndale Ave in Skokie.
We care for rugs from established residences and newer developments in Glenview. We work as rug specialists, never as carpet cleaners.
Handmade wool and traditional Oriental rugs
Our area rug cleaning covers contemporary handmade wool rugs alongside traditional Oriental rugs, and a single Glenview pickup can include both. Before we recommend anything, we look at how the rug was constructed, what its fibers are, what its dyes are like and what condition it arrives in.
Our rug cleaning for wool and Oriental rugs follows from that inspection, not from a fixed routine.
Pet odors, spills and everyday wear
We pay particular attention to what ordinary family life leaves on a rug in Glenview: pet odors, spills, and the steady wear of daily foot traffic.
When a rug has a pet problem, we point it out at the inspection and handle it through pet odor removal for area rugs as part of the plan for that rug. We explain what we expect the work to achieve, because we do not promise that every stain or every kind of damage can be fully corrected.
Fringe deterioration and older pieces
We check every Glenview rug for fringe deterioration. Where ends are wearing or missing, we show you, and fringe repair can stabilize them or rebuild them when the rug calls for it.
A rug that needs more than cleaning may go on to restoration, which can mean matching wool and silk, dyeing yarn to color, rebuilding damaged sections by hand and stabilizing weakened areas. What we are after is the original character of the rug, not merely a clean surface. Our principal, Ghorban Ahmadi, is a master conservator who has performed conservation work for the State Hermitage Museum, the Musée du Louvre, and the British Museum.
From your door to the workshop and back
- First, we inspect the rug and document its condition.
- Next, we identify its materials and its construction.
- You hear our recommendation and the reasons behind it before any work goes ahead.
- The cleaning itself begins with dust removal and continues with a wash suited to that rug.
- Controlled drying comes next, then a final inspection before the rug returns to Glenview.
Pickup and the typical Tuesday route
Our insured pickup and delivery is free for many Glenview addresses within 5 miles of our Skokie workshop. Insured pickup and delivery is free within 5 miles of our Skokie workshop or our St. Charles location, and $75 round trip beyond. On larger orders and restoration projects we may waive the transportation fee; we tell you at estimate.
We come to Glenview on Tuesday, a typical route day, confirmed when you book. Large jobs, urgent requests and special appointments can be scheduled more flexibly. We cannot promise same-day pickup or delivery, since each appointment depends on route availability.
On our route, Glenview sits next to Northbrook, Morton Grove and Winnetka. Parts of Glenview lie inside the free radius, within 5 miles of the workshop, as do parts of Wilmette, Morton Grove and Niles; whether yours does depends on the address.
What to confirm before pickup
Glenview pickups are mostly residential, and driveway or entrance access is generally convenient. Please still tell us which driveway or entrance to use, where we can park, and whether there are stairs between the rug and the door.
If a rug is oversized or heavy, or its removal is complicated, say so when you book; those cases need advance notice and may need extra arrangements.
To get started, request a free estimate with a photo of the rug, or call (847) 440-1349 with a question first. From pickup to delivery, you know who has your rug, what we have advised and why we advised it.
