The Andonian family has been in the rug business since 1929. Mihran (Paul) Andonian built a reputation of establishing long-term relationships and trust with his customers. Those values continue to be the guiding principles of Andonian Rugs today.

With three generations of experience in the business, Andonian Rugs can provide the highest quality service and expertise in helping you select and care for your rugs. We are uniquely qualified for the delicate process of cleaning, repairing and restoring. Our employees are specially trained to treat each rug with the highest standards of care and workmanship. Every effort is made to ensure the best possible result for each rug.

Our unique system for cleaning valuable rugs uses a blend of modern equipment and traditional hand cleaning. The cleaning process starts with the evaluation of each rug to determine what special attention is needed. The rug is first soaked in water and the back is thoroughly washed with a soft rotary buffer and our specially formulated coconut oil soap. The rug is then turned face-up and pre-spotted to remove or loosen spots and stains. It is again soaked with cold water, fringes are scrubbed by hand, and the front of rug is thoroughly washed with the rotary brush. Then the rug is rinsed and put through a pressurized wringer to remove water. The rug is placed on a pole to dry in a air-circulated, heated room where it remains for 2-5 days. Fringes are rinsed again midway through the drying process. The rug is brushed to push up the pile, then re-hung to dry completely. When the rug has dried, both front and back sides are vacuumed and the fringes are brushed.
