Since 1885, the Shabahang family has been synonymous with exceptional rug craftsmanship and meticulous care. We understand that every rug tells a unique story, which is why we approach each cleaning project with the precision and respect your cherished pieces deserve.
Dusting the rug thoroughly
We use our Badger machine to remove any loose dirt, dust, and debris from the rug.
Rinse thoroughly
Before cleaning, we power rinse the rug thoroughly with clean water to remove any residue.
Spot treat stains
For stubborn stains, we spot treat them with a mixture of water and vinegar or a specialized stain remover after cleaning the rug. Unfortunately, some stains may have caused an irreversible chemical reaction causing an altering of the original dyes.
Rinse thoroughly
After cleaning, we rinse the rug thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaning solution residue.
Dry the rug
After your rug goes into our spinner we hang the rug to dry in a well-ventilated area.

Our Meticulous Cleaning Process
We never take shortcuts. Our seven-step process ensures your rug receives proper care at every stage:
Thorough Inspection & Assessment
Each rug undergoes detailed examination where we:
Identify fiber type, weaving method, and construction
Document existing damage, stains, or areas of concern
Perform color fastness testing to ensure dyes won’t bleed
Create a customized cleaning plan tailored to your rug
Advanced Dry Soil Removal
Using specialized equipment, we extract accumulated dust and grit from deep within the rug’s foundation—particles that regular vacuuming can’t reach and that cause premature wear. This crucial step removes pounds of hidden soil.
Customized Gentle Cleaning
Based on our inspection, we design the perfect cleaning approach:
For Delicate Rugs: Dry cleaning with vegetable-based shampoos and soft-bristled brushing
For Sturdy Wool Rugs: Gentle hand-washing with pH-balanced solutions
For Antiques: Conservative treatment that respects age and patina
No harsh detergents, no hot steam, no machine agitation
Repair & Restoration (If Needed)
Our master craftsmen complete any requested repairs using traditional techniques and materials that match your rug’s original construction.

Why Professional Cleaning Matters
Many Glenview homeowners don’t realize the importance of proper rug care. Here’s what professional cleaning provides:
Reveals Hidden Beauty
We consistently hear from clients who are amazed at their “new” rugs after cleaning. Years of accumulated soil can hide vibrant colors and intricate patterns. One customer told us: “There are colors in the rugs that I have never seen before! I thought one of the rug was beige, but now that it’s been cleaned properly it’s actually a beautiful ivory.”
Extends Rug Lifespan
Regular professional cleaning removes the destructive elements that cause premature aging, helping your rug maintain its beauty and structural integrity for decades to come.
Expert Craftsmanship
Our technicians are trained in traditional rug care methods passed down through generations. They understand the nuances of different weaving styles, fiber types, and regional characteristics that affect cleaning approaches.
