Testimonials

Bahar M
Palo Alto, CA
read moreI recently entrusted two of my Persian rugs to Bay Area Rug Cleaning in San Mateo, and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way.

I had the pleasure of working directly with the owner, Mr. Ali, whose knowledge and passion for fine rugs are immediately evident. He took the time to carefully inspect both piecesone of them a delicate family heirloomand explained in detail how each rug would be treated, which gave me complete confidence from the start.

When I received my rugs back, the transformation was incredible. Stains that I thought were permanent had completely disappeared, and the colors looked refreshed and vibrant again.

What truly distinguishes Mr. Ali, however, is the level of care he brings beyond cleaning. My cat had scratched portions of one rug, and Mr. Ali went the extra mile to repair the damaged areas with such skill that the imperfections are no longer noticeable. He also thoughtfully trimmed the long fringe and excess edge strings, enhancing the overall appearancesomething I especially appreciated as I am preparing the rugs for sale.

It is rare to find someone you can genuinely trust with high-quality Persian rugs, both for cleaning and restoration. Mr. Ali is not only highly skilled, but also takes real pride in his work and in delivering exceptional results.

If you are looking for expertise, integrity, and meticulous attention to detail, I highly recommend Bay Area Rug Cleaning. Mr. Ali truly stands out in his craft.

We were a bit nervous about having our antique Persian rug cleaned, but Power San Mateo Green Carpet / Rug Cleaning completely eased our concerns. Their technicians showed impressive expertise in caring for delicate rugs and used methods that were both effective and gentle. We were particularly happy with their use of green products, which left no residue or strong odors behind. Our rugs colors are vibrant again, and its texture feels wonderfully soft. The pick-up and delivery service was smooth and hassle-free. If you have valuable rugs, you can trust Power San Mateo Green Carpet / Rug Cleaning they truly are experts

Ali is a lifesaver! Our puppy chewed up a corner of our brand new area rug. I thought it was a lost cause but Ali came to the rescue and was able to fix it as good as new. He also cleaned another rug we had that was looking very worn out due to being in a high traffic area. He brought it back to its original glory. So glad we found Bay Area Rugs. We will definitely be using them for all our rug cleaning and repair needs.

Customer service and work ethic are crucial components of any successful business. Excellent customer service involves going above and beyond to meet the needs of customers, ensuring they feel valued and satisfied. This can include prompt responses to inquiries, personalized interactions, and a willingness to address and resolve any issues that may arise. A strong work ethic is characterized by dedication, reliability, and a commitment to delivering high-quality work consistently.

When these two elements come together, it creates an awesome experience for customers. Imagine a scenario where a customer service representative not only resolves an issue efficiently but also does so with a friendly and helpful attitude. This kind of service leaves a lasting positive impression on customers, fostering loyalty and trust in the brand. Additionally, employees with a strong work ethic contribute to a positive work environment, leading to better customer service overall.

Ultimately, businesses that prioritize exceptional customer service and instill a strong work ethic in their employees are more likely to create memorable experiences for their customers, leading to increased satisfaction, loyalty, and overall success.

I just picked up my oriental rug from Ali and he did a FANTASTIC job! He cleaned it beautifully - and repaired a couple whole holes. Hes an old world master who cares about your rugs. And his prices are very fair.

This review is long overdue. We had stained a rug priced at $3500 to replace (see photos). I had to call almost a dozen cleaners just to find one that would tell me with true confidence that they believe they will succeed. Most of them replied that it would be around $500 with no guarantees.

I finally came across this company and was very impressed by Alis quickness to respond and HIGH confidence. I then learned the difference between a business that is just a cleaning product user versus a business that is a real rug crafter, qualified to modify and repair anything. On top of that, his quote was better than most of the others. The rug is clean and everyone is happy.

I've been coming here almost 5 years now, couldn't be happier with Ali's quality and speed. Good price and excellent care regardless whether its our white silk Persian rug or the wool Pottery Barn office rug.

I went to Bay Area rug cleaners to buy a new rug to decorate my apartment, and Ali, the owner, was very nice to me. He had a calm and quiet demeanor and was kind enough to let me look at a carpet in my apartment before deciding to purchase it. Ive since since stopped by sometimes just to chat and play backgammon, and Ive seen him do a lot of repair work as well, since thats mostly what people come in for. Cat urine, dog urine, pet stains, mold, small moth damage it was all fixed! Im surprised at how he was able to make all these rugs look brand new! I asked if he could teach me a couple things, to figure out how to tell the provenance of a rug, but, alas, he said that it takes years to learn, which to be fair Im sure is the case

Anyways, highly recommend its not a polished store where youll get the aura of an Apple Store, but youll get care and service which I think is the most important.

I wanted to find out about a rug I recently purchased it's age, quality, knots per square inch and how to clean it. My friend was once an employee of Ali's and recommended I go to Bay area rug cleaners. Ali greeted us with a welcoming smile and treated me like We had been life long friends, very sincere, honest, and informative. He doesn't tell you what you want to hear but gives you honest and non biest solutions on how to fix, clean and restore your rug back to it's best tip top condition possible. His knowledge comes from hands on experience from cleaning thousands of rugs over the years. He taught me that every rug is different and are made with different materials. It's important to know what the rug is made from either silk wool or synthetic material etc. The before and after results from his rug cleaning really impressed me. Thank God I didn't attempt to continue cleaning my rug at home I would have destroyed it. He tests for color bleeding before hand and knows what cleaning solutions will tackle or correct any problem area on your rug. He also told me where my rug was made, the tribe that made it and the materials used to make it and how old it was. Thanks Ali for being so sweet and informative, you have taught me to appreciate the art and history of my handmade Persian Rugs. You are the best!!!
Sincerely,
Jamie

Short Answer: Come here for your rug/ rug cleaning needs

Long Answer: Come to Ali if you want someone who will love your rug more than even you do. He is thoughtful, attentive, and kind to you and your rug. He loves his craft and his customers, and it shows. Ali cleaned and repaired a family heirloom rug for me, after it had been attacked by moths. I will be back with my other rugs soon.

No one can beat Alis prices or service, highly recommend. If you are lucky he will share some wise life advice as well (for free).

When my daughters puppies soiled our $12k rug, I was beside myself with furry. Figuring the 8x10ft wool and silk rug was a goner, these guys really saved the day.

They are extremely busy because they know their craft and do excellent work. In fact, 3 other clients were dropping off rugs while I was there briefly picking up our renewed rug.

They worked their magic and the pet stain is gone and no foul odor. They really saved the day.

And yes, I let my daughter keep the puppies. ;)

We recently found a rather large, but VERY dirty second-hand area rug for very cheap. We weren't sure of its value, and if it was actually worth a deep clean.

I called Bay Area Rug Cleaners. The owner asked to send him photos of the carpet, was very responsive and helped me identify that the carpet was a cheap machine made carpet; he also tried to help us with a reasonable quote for cleaning it given the carpet itself was quite cheap.

The carpet is impeccably clean now, it has really lifted our living room and made our home cozy. We also loved getting to know Ali and working with him.

Highly recommend. Hand-knotted silk and wool rugs need to be hand-washed, as they have been for thousands of years. Machines have the potential to ruin them, while at the same time costing a fortune in overhead passed directly to the consumer. They washed a valuable wool rug of mine last week. Not only did it come out perfectly soft and clean, but Art inspected it before the cleaning and noticed the side threading was unravelling in several small places. He contacted me first and repaired them, saving them from unravelling in the wash. No place gives better service or care and attention to your rug than here. And what a bargain!
