Simonian’s Evolution
70 years ago; our journey began, like many others, with a map. This was no ordinary map; it meticulously portrayed all the rug weaving regions and showcased their unique artistry. We became obsessed with studying each area and truly understanding their unique beauty and weaving techniques.
Comprehending the history and preservation of rugs has become our most profound passion. Over the last 100 years, the creation of rugs has significantly changed. However, there are still some areas still making them by hand machines are manufacturing a vast majority. New materials often come out along with new ways of manufacturing and creating a unique piece that fits perfectly in your home.
Simonian has been on a constant mission over the years to research these new materials and methods so that we can adapt our cleaning techniques to give your rugs the best possible result. Our authentic practices come from ancient cleaning methods passed down from generation to generation. These secrets are deeply guarded by the artists who have cleaned, repaired, and restored rugs to their beautiful form day after day, year after year. We continue to add to our books of knowledge so that we can cater to any rug.
Whether you have an antique passed down through your family or purchased a rug you absolutely love on the internet for a few hundred dollars, our goal is to provide the correct cleaning method and solutions to preserve your rug for many years.
The best way to protect rugs is by preventing new stains and keeping your legacy intact all year round through routine maintenance, our Simonian spotter, and fiber protection.
Every home is a little different, oftentimes people clean their rug when an accident happens or when it just starts to look dirty. Most times if it is starting to look really dirty then you have probably waited too long. We recommend the following cleaning schedule:
Absolutely it will help with allergies! Having rugs in your home is beneficial because it traps all of the dust and dirt that floats around your home. Rugs act like large filters and just like any other filter they need to be cleaned every so often. By Vacuuming the rugs you can remove a large amount of dust but not the small particles that get trapped deep down inside the foundation. Our process concentrates on flushing out the entire rug so that it is cleaned not just on the surface but deep inside as well.
No we are very conscious of the products that we use. One of our main goals is to extend the life of your rug and using aggressive soaps will actually dry the fibers out and decrease the life. We also want to be sure that you can live with them comfortably. That is why we use horse shampoo because it is used on living animals and has been thoroughly tested.
So many people use a rug doctor or an expensive home cleaning machine. Can you use one of these systems and have your rug come out looking good, sure but there are so many possible things that can go wrong. The biggest mistake is getting the rug too wet and it takes 4-5 days to dry and it will start to grow mold. The colors can run on certain rugs but mostly those systems will absolutely leave soap residue behind.
We take pricing our services very seriously, rugs are all made differently and require different cleaning methods based on the construction, fiber content and how soiled it is. As every year the world gets more expensive we stay focused on what it takes for us to keep our values strong and what is important to our company, which is your experience and the outcome of your rug. As our company has grown we have found ways to become more efficient and keep our costs down. We share that money with our employees who make this all possible and to you our customer so that you can afford to come back year after year.
