I have a silk Persian rug that was gifted to me by my parents. I tried cleaning it myself using regular laundry detergent and ended up ruining the colors. I thought it was never going to look good anymore until i found Rug Ideas. I took my rug there and they were able to save my rug and make look exactly like before. I was shocked. Everyone there was so friendly, helpful and knowlegable. Thank you soooo much! read more

Rug Ideas - They saved my silk Persian rug. - Carpet Cleaning Near Me - Van Nuys, California

I was gifted two beautiful Persian rugs that had layers of dirt, dog hair, and other signs of wear and tear. Both rugs had ripped or detached fringe. I called multiple rug cleaners to get quotes and spoke with Kash (the son). He encouraged me to visit their store and see how the rugs would be cleaned and repaired. Kash was incredibly kind and patient. He took the time to educate me about my new rugs, as well as teach me about the industry! He gave me a tour of the store and showed me the process my rugs would go through. He quoted me a reasonable price similar to what I had been quoted over the phone by other companies. Yet, he and his father, went above and beyond to work with my budget! Dr. Kay even gifted me a bottle of olive oil when he learned I was an educator like himself! The family are all so kind and generous! Both of my rugs were washed twice due to the dirt and had fringe reattached. I am so pleased with how my rugs look and feel now. You cannot distinguish where the repairs were made. I love having friends and family come over, they always complement my newly cleaned rugs! I have already convinced my dad to get his carpets cleaned here too. When it is time for my rugs to be cleaned again I plan to bring them to rug ideas. Cannot recommend enough! read more

I'm so thrilled to find the amazing team at Rug Ideas. First off, I'm all about supporting a family owned and operated business. I brought a beautiful hand made Moroccan rug in that has seen better days. Dr. Kay, his son Kash and their awesome crew made it look better than new. Not only did they clean it and renewed all the colors, they did some skillful stitching work on the each end. I brought another rug in to get measured for a one of the rug pads they sell that are perfect. The rug pads are washable which makes it super easy to clean. They also offer pick up and delivery. I will most definitely be back! read more

I've had maybe 10 rugs cleaned and serviced by Rug Ideas, a family-owned business. Their staff came to my home for pick up and drop off, which included helping move furniture and putting rugs down. They are knowledgeable about rugs worldwide, antique to contemporary, and are flexible about working within a budget about extras. Would use again for sure. read more

Did a fantastic job overall but felt their price was high. I called a place in DownTown LA and they charged less, but it would have been a pain to go there. I also was not happy with how they fixed one of the fringes on my rug but didn't bother to complain. Unfortunately I can't find a photo of it. I'd probably use them again. read more

Kash is truly an expert! I picked up this Restoration Hardware rug from a neighbor for free and it was in super bad shape. Pet stains, snags, dust, smelly, just overall really nasty shape. Kash got all of the stains out, colored in the areas that were faded, fixed the tears and snags, and brought it back to life! It's a family-owned business and everyone is so genuine and so nice. I cannot recommend them enough!! read more

We had two very different types of rugs that needed to be cleaned. Our rugs were spotless, and they even had wonderful delivery/pickup service. read more

Im so happy that I tried Rug Ideas. After looking at many providers I decided on Rug Ideas with one rug. Now they have cleaned all of my rugs one by one and I couldn't be happier. They were able to extract stains that previous cleaners were unable to. Mark is my representative and he's courteous and professional. His assistants Alan and Aaron also have all been very nice. It is nice to do business with this family owned business since 1953. They understand how to be the best at their business, know the value of taking care of their clients and providing a great service. I am a loyal customer now. read more

Rug Ideas, Working directly on each individual rug, personal service, excellent attention to detail. The facilities are super clean. While tucked away into a commercial valley location, this rug shop and cleaning facility is FANTASTIC. So much so it draws super star Hollywood clientele. I highly recommend their services. From cost, to supplies available to ensure the longevity of your prized Persian rugs, to wool, silk, synthetic or cotton rug family heirlooms, we love working with the family. read more

I have an elderly dog who has trouble with hardwood floors due to side effects of seizure meds. I've covered my floors as much as possible with a patchwork of rugs, but of course my dog will find the few exposed inches along the perimeter of every room to stumble around on. So I reached out to Kash through social media (LOVE those rug cleaning vids) to see if they might have scrap strips of their custom cut rug pads leftover that I could purchase. I received a quick response and he was happy to accommodate me. When I arrived to their shop I saw he went above and beyond and had pulled out a bunch of different sized cuts for me to choose from. I also thoroughly enjoyed browsing through the incredible rugs they had for sale. The passion they have for their craft really comes through as they tell the stories of the artisans behind these pieces. It often feels like most businesses care only about profit margins and little for the consumer, so its a breathe of fresh air to see the Sobhe family put their respect for the craft above all else; and I truly appreciate it. read more

This company is amazing! I had a valuable carpet that needed cleaning very badly. From my first encounter asking questions about their services to the final delivery of my rug they have surpassed all my expectations. They were timely and courteous. My carpet looks absolutely beautiful. I can tell they are true professionals and passionate about their craft. I highly recommend this Rug Ideas!! read more

This review is about 5 months late, but better late than never. We brought our Grevy Zebra rug to be repaired. Several years ago, our then puppy destroyed much of the rug badly. I was thinking of throwing it out, thinking it was beyond repair. But my non-existent psychic powers told me to keep it and try getting it fixed. Finally, I got a recommendation to take it to Rug Ideas. We took it there. The owners were so nice and reassuring. We returned 8 weeks later. The rug was beyond excellent. They had to do some patch work, then some artistry and the results were spectacular. I've included a pic of it below. I cannot recommend this business highly enough. read more

Absolutely sensational rug cleaning. Family owned business with incredible care and customer service. They did a meticulous job and they went out of their way to make sure I was completely satisfied. I can't recommend this business enough. Kash helped me through the process and he is wonderful to work with. You are in a very good hands. read more

I had the same excellent experience as all the other reviewers: Kash and Dr Kay are knowledgeable, friendly, passionate and do outstanding work. I'd like to add praise for the education they gave me. I inherited two fine old rugs from my family: a long Persian runner and a large rectangular Navajo rug. Dr. Kay was able to tell me not only that the rugs were very high quality and from the early 1920s (which I knew), but he added some history. The runner is Kurdish in origin, and extremely rare because of its long length (17 feet). The Kurds have been so oppressed and harrassed for so long that they normally don't have time to complete a rug that long. It's too big a commitment. I was humbled to learn this. Dr. Kay elevated my appreciation of the rug and increased my knowledge of world history. And he did it with warmth and kindness. Rug Ideas is absolutely the very best. read more

Found this after looking for a rug cleaner nearby. Fantastic service and just a great group of folks here. Still waiting for the final results, but they've been efficient, courteous, and professional. Can't ask for more than that! read more

First of all I will never trust any rug companies with my precious Persian rugs except Rug Ideas. We have two expensive persian rugs that both were water damaged due to flooding issue. We sent them to Rug Ideas via interstate shipping. Dr. Khosrow Sobhe (Dr. Kay) and Kash Sobhe professionally took care of our rugs. The rugs were appraised and we received a certified appraisals from Rug Ideas so we could send the appraisals to insurance company and show how valuable are Persian rugs. Thus we were able to claim them and received the correct damaged values from insurance company. In addition, the damaged rugs were professionally fixed and we received them quickly, even no one could notice the damage. Those exceptional services were given at a reasonable price that I was not able to get it from other rug companies. Thank you, Dr. Khosrow Sobhe (Dr. Kay) and Kash Sobhe for your professional service read more

A bit on the pricey side but they were attentative and the result was good. Nice family business A-3rd generation operation Good factory and a clean working area Nice people . read more

I learned about Rug Ideas by stumbling across their Instagram account. I was immediately hooked by the videos of their cleaning process. This is a very professional and state-of-the-art outfit. I worked directly with Kash, who is either the son or the grandson of Dr K, the owner/founder. Kash is very easy to deal with and is always upbeat. He thoroughly explains everything. The job was a little more expensive and time-consuming than I expected, but I always felt like I was in good hands and the results are worth the cost and wait. It's a bit shocking to realize just how dirty your rug was, especially when it comes back so much visibly cleaner. I feel like I made a very good decision going with Rug Ideas. If you have a rug you care about (or a rug that might have a second life just by cleaning it), you can definitely trust them to do great work. My rug only required minor repairs, but they also do amazing restoration work. read more

This is an updated review to an earlier entry. Rug Ideas and the individuals who work there truly outstanding. I brought cream colored Moroccan rugs back to this company after they did such an outstanding job on resizing and cleaning another rug from Morocco. The rugs were long-overdue for cleaning and unfortunately, the puppy did a number on all of them! Kash and his team couldn't be more professional and understanding with my request to not walk on the rugs as I had a prior experience with another company who returned a white runner with a huge footprint! Approximately 3 weeks later, the rugs were ready, smelled and looked brand new - which I did not expect - with all puppy stains gone!! Without a doubt, this company is the BEST at what they do and I would not hesitate to recommend again and again. P.S. The drive for me is 45 minutes one way and totally worth it!!! Thanks, Kash, Dr. Kay, and team. read more

Within 10 days of moving into our new home with all new furnishings, my dog got muddy paw prints on a knotted wool rug and knocked over my coffee mug on my new 50/50 wool & viscose, tufted rug! I tried the old mild soap and water trick, but that only made it worse. Baking soda turned the stains brown! Panicked, I asked for a quote from 2 rug cleaners i got from neighbors on the NextDoor app. Rug Ideas was not one of them, but I got a bunch of quotes, had them out for estimates, and went with them, mostly because Duncan and Justin instilled the most confidence. First time I ever relied on a Yelp auto-generated quote suggestion. Yelpers do not disappoint! Dr. Kay realized how critical it was to our family and asked his team to help us out - they assessed and took the rugs on Labor Day weekend, even though they were closed! The rugs were at their facility a little more than 2 weeks. Duncan and Justin placed them back under all of the furniture. The stains were gone! One rug did darken a little, but we are extremely satisfied with their work and service! We had them treat the rugs with a stain guard too! read more

Lovely place! I dropped off an old vintage rug my mother gave me that was very dirty and had moth damage. They cleaned it up beautifully and did a moth treatment to kill any possible larva.

We have been using Rug Ideas for years, for both cleaning and mending of precious rugs. There is no other company I would trust to do the kind of individual evaluation and careful analysis of the best way to clean or repair each rug. From the pick up to the drop off and the excellent job they do, this is a unique family business that is very professional but also kind and caring about the work they do and their Interactions with their customers. Dr Kay is so knowledgeable and a fountain of information about rug history and really knows his field. read more

I never thought I would nerd out over getting my rug cleaned but here we are. I was pointed in the direction of Rug Ideas by a family friend who has to have all the nice things, so I knows this was a special place. When I arrived I was treated very professionally and knew my area rug was in good hands. I had it cleaned and wrapped for storage and even splurged for a custom fitted rug pad. I couldn't be happier and will always come back. Rug Ideas cannot be beaten!!! read more

I highly recommend this company for your rug and upholstery cleaning needs. Everyone one on their staff is extremely helpful and kind. We will definitely be using time to clean our couch once a year!!! Thank you!!! read more

After reading all the stellar reviews, I called and talked to Dr. K, took a couple of rugs down on a Saturday and he went through the process of what would happen to the rug and promised that when we got it back it would be "Like New", I called about a month after we dropped the rugs off and was told they were still working on them, I called about a month later and they were still working on them, I called the next week and was told that they would be done by Friday, I waited another week and went down on a Saturday to pick up our rugs, They were done and ready to pick up, as the larger rug was unrolled my wife and I were speechless, not because the rug looked new, but because there were still very visible stains on the rug. We had been promised a "Like New" rug and what was delivered was far from it. There were still stains on the rug and the blues and reds are less vibrant than they were before the cleaning. Perhaps the rug was too dirty, perhaps the stains were too set, whatever the reason , the results were not what my wife and I expected. After standing and looking at the rug for what seemed like hours but was probably less than 5 minutes, Mark spoke up and explained that he and Kash had washed the rug 3 times and that you can only attempt to clean them so much before you risk damaging the fibers, OK, that is understandable, but it seems to me that if you are rug cleaning/restoration experts, you should be able to look at a rug before you begin cleaning it and determine that this rug is too far gone or the stains are too set and we don't feel that all these stains are going to come out, and let the customer know they need to lower their expectations or give them the option to not have the rug cleaned. Especially after the second or third cleaning, let the customer know the rug is ready but did not come out like we/you expected, each time I called, I only told that it was still being worked on, never was I told that it was not going to be completely cleaned. I do think that Kash and Mark did the best job that they could but I also believe that Dr. K, was overly optimistic about the outcome. I seriously doubt that I would use them again, and if I did I would only opt for the cleaning and not the rug pad, which what not what we was expecting or described and seemed over priced for what was delivered., I also wouldn't get the scotch guard treatment either until after I was happy with the results of the cleaning. read more

Antique Persian Rug + Stinky Dog + Mischievous Cat = Problems We had a beautiful Persian rug given to as a gift and I did my best to keep it clean. Often spot cleaning it when there was a pet accident, but my best effort wasn't enough to keep it looking nice. Even after I would vacuum it, it still didn't look good. Then it began to unravel at one end and the only provided entertainment for the cat who loved to pull at the loose threads. So I found Los Angeles Rug Cleaning on Instagram and when I saw how much care they put into all kinds of rugs I knew I had found the very best people to help me. I honestly didn't know how to find a business like this, but as soon as I arrived I felt like I was in good company. When we brought in the rug for an estimate we got a quick lesson in the history of Persian rugs and an estimate. Not only was this rug older than I am, it's most likely the most expensive item in my house. (that my dog was pooping on!) So we left this beautiful rug to undergo a through a 10-step process to be fully restored. The results are remarkable. It's brighter, has more vibrant colors, the unraveled end has been repaired and most importantly it doesn't stink anymore. (The dog is no longer allowed to be alone with the rug. ) It wasn't nearly as expensive as I thought it would be. Now with a new rug padded underneath the rug it's a soft fluffy surface to stand on. read more

I am speechless. I can't believe my eyes! I have a white shag rug that was filthy and it looks BRAND NEW! My rug was brown from all the dust in my apartment but Dr. K and Kash brought my rug back to life. When I dropped my rug off for cleaning, Dr. K gave me a bottle of wine and I thought that was a nice touch but nothing could've prepared me for the sight of my rug! Thank you so much, Dr. K and Kash! You both are doing the Lord's work! read more

If you use anybody else, you're an idiot. I've had my rugs cleaned all over Los Angeles, and these guys are leagues above the rest. They are as professional as they come. Great demeanor over the phone--Mark, who was my point of contact throughout the process--was the perfect balance of friendly, personable, accommodating, and honest. He listened to my needs, gave an honest assessment of price, tempered my expectations, while also remaining confident in his company's abilities to clean my rug better than anyone else. He worked with me to get the price as low as possible, assured me it would never go a dollar over (something that can't be said about their competitors), gave me an estimated completion date, and went to work. When I picked it up, I was blown away. They transformed a rug that I was ready to throw away into something that looked fresh off the rack. They promised the best, and somehow managed to overdeliver. So thanks again guys for your outstanding work; and to those reading, if you dare clean your rug anywhere else in this town, you will regret it immensely. Los Angeles Rug Cleaning is simply the best. read more

You get what you pay for with these folks! Just look at their Instagram in how much they do to get your rugs looking good and truly being clean. As someone with two little kids, I definitely want where they crawl and lay around being clean. A carpet cleaner rental from vons won't even come close to satisfying my needs. Whether you have a rug from wayfair or Persia it needs the same level of cleaning. Throwing your rug away and buying a new one is equal to like 100 bags of trash in a landfill. 5 stars for being a local business. 5 stars for being a lovely family who has been running this business for generations. 5 stars for caring about the environment 5 stars for working with my budget 5 stars for making my rugs amazingly clean. Thank you Kash to you and your lovely family! read more

Great customer service. Kash and Dr.K explained to me the process of what is done and all the proper steps it takes to wash my rug properly. Everyone at this business including the men that came to my home to pick up and deliver my rug were very professional and polite.

Highly recommend this family ( Dr Kay and son Kash) run business. Very knowledgeable about all things rugs including provenance. Old well loved and well trod rugs look beautiful, prices reasonable given work they do. They welcome visitors to see process. Mark and his assistants who pick up and return cleaned rugs are exceedingly helpful and go the extra mile. We needed some of padding cut down and rugs taped secondary to fall risk for older adult. They are not fans of taping but kindly and patiently taped all we asked. They are also available should there be questions or issues later. very responsive. A lovely find in these days of diminished customer service and pride in workmanship. Jennifer A read more

I can't recommend Rug Ideas highly enough. I own a local Moroccan rug business and at this point, I have worked with Kash, Dr. Kay and the whole Rug Ideas team on dozens and dozens of Moroccan rugs. Whether they're cleaning rugs, down-sizing rugs for clients, supplying me with premium rug pads, providing stain guard services for my clients, or some of the more creative tasks like over-dyeing my rugs, they always bring an unsurpassed level of care and attention to the matter. I'm grateful to have such knowledgeable rug experts in my corner and to know that they're close by to help with all my rug needs. It's clear that they have a deep love for all rugs and their craftsmanship shows in all of the work they do! read more

Finally the real thing - first class knowledgeable rug cleaning by those who care. Dr K and son Cash run a wonderful family business. They took my sun faded handmade 30-40 year old Turkish rug and made it come alive again. It still looks antique but with beautiful rich colors that were hand restored by Cash, in the photo he's holding a cloth of all the color mixings he did to get it just right. Literally one half of the rug was completely washed out from being under my huge living room skylight, and the other half was unfaded because a long sofa was on it and the rest was in the shade. They also added a UV protector to the rug. Duncan and Justin did a good job on delivery and pickup, taking the time to lay the rugs just right (I also got excellent pads that don't slip, unlike those awful useless ones from Bed Bath and Beyond. Got pads for 3 other rugs). They changed their schedule to fit my delivery time. 100% pleased. read more
