rug cleaning
About Us
*We are a family run small business (father and 4 sons) started in 1972 by Ken Koets, a Certified Master Cleaner.
*We began focussing on Oriental rugs after studying at the Auserehlian Rug Cleaning School in Berthood, CO, and purchasing the system and equipment in 1992.
*Our goal today remains the same as it was back then: to simply be the best cleaners possible in this VERY specialized field.
*Along the way, we've developped a passion for all textiles, and have become enthusiastic rug collecters.
*We've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in education, travelling across the USA and around the world to attend rug cleaning, repair, and identification schools and conferences.
