Family-owned since 1978
The last rug cleaner
your heirlooms will ever need.
Hand-washed, never machine. Forty-seven years of quiet, unglamorous craft — performed on Persian, Oriental, silk, wool and antique rugs across the San Francisco Bay Area.
What we do, and how
A rug is a record. We restore it, gently.
Most shops steam-clean on your floor in 45 minutes. We cold-water submersion wash, by hand, over seven to ten days — because vegetable dyes, antique wool and silk demand a slower standard.
Before & after
Drag to see the difference.
A moth-damaged Peshawar runner, rewoven and cleaned.
Persian & Oriental
The hand-wash standard.
Cold-water immersion. pH-neutral soap. Air-dried flat for the wool, not the clock.
Antique restoration
Eighty-year-old Sarouk. Eighty-year care.
Lanolin preserved. Dyes protected. Your grandmother’s rug returned to your hallway, not your regrets.
Repair & reweaving
Moths. Holes. Fringe. Reset.
Master weavers. Matched wool. Knot-by-knot foundation rebuilds for tears, pet damage, and water loss.
Rug pads & care
The pad makes the rug last.
Memory foam and felt-and-rubber pads, cut to size. Moth sprays. Care kits. Shipped or picked up.
The ABC standard
12 Steps.
47 Years.
One standard.
From compressed-air dusting through a final grooming of the pile, each rug passes through twelve hand-performed stages — monitored by a second-generation craftsman, not a conveyor belt.
What our clients say
Quietly confident. So are they.
★★★★★ABC performed a miracle on my grandmother’s rug. The reweaving is flawless — you cannot tell where the damage was.
Sarah L. — Piedmont, CA
★★★★★They restored the fringe perfectly and the cleaning made the colors pop again. The free pickup and delivery were the icing on the cake.
David M. — Palo Alto, CA
★★★★★A 1920s Sarouk I inherited. Five bidders said ultrasound. ABC said cold water, by hand, ten days. It came back brighter than I remembered from childhood.
Elena R. — San Francisco, CA
★★★★★My insurance adjuster recommended them for water damage and I understand why. Calm, methodical, and the rug dried without cupping or dye bleed.
