My grandmother recently passed and with what money she left behind I decided to repair her mother rug that's at least 70 years old. So I can't even imagen how dirty it was. They quoted me a price for the deep cleaning over the phone. I pulled up and an AWESOME employee names James Garner came out and helped me unload it and explain the whole process my rug would go through. Explained it's probably need a new backing( it was glued on and their were bubbles which meant the glue was coming up on those places :I appreciated him explaining) he even got a quote for the backing.
They were super nice and gave me a 20% discount on my deep clean. And after the deep clean they realized to avoid any further fraying I would need it to be surged. They called me to ask if it was what I'd want. And then after I confirmed they got it done rather quickly. In all I paid less then about $750 for everything was super surprised it cost me less then $1000. DEFINITELY recommend for rug cleaning and restoration. Including antique rug restoration.

Sharian is absolutely amazing! After having white latex paint spilled and dried all over our rug, we thought it was destroyed. When I took it to them, they were cautiously optimistic, which I appreciated. When I got the call to pick it up and then saw them unroll it, I almost screamed. There was no sign of the paint! I was ecstatic! We will purchase our next rug from them. Superior customer service and expertise.

Sharian does a good job and I will continue to use them. Note for improvement: The middle aged white guy who takes the rugs in for cleaning can be a little abrupt. Might suggest he be a little friendlier. Also, a phone call to let me know it was ready would have been appreciated. Yes, they send an email but a phone call would be appreciated and would help in the friendly department as well.

I recently came home with the fourth rug that we have had cleaned over the years with Sharion. This rug in particular, a reversible wool, required repair. I am so grateful for the fantastic job Sharion did, working within my budget to accommodate the needed cleaning and threading. I have trusted them for years as has my family.

I have a hand hooked wool rug that I love but it had stains from my dogs among other things. Sharian took my area rug and returned it to me in as good as new condition. I didn't think they could get the stains out without damaging the rug. But they did a beautiful job. The rug has flowers woven into it in various colors and the colors are also vibrant again like they were when I bought the rug. I would definitely use their service again.

I took 13 Persian and Oriental rugs that I inherited to them and they did an amazing - fast and flawless - job! Their customer service and technical expertise are unmatched in Atlanta. They even told me details (region of origin, style/pattern name) about some of the rugs that I've never known. I can't think of a better run family business.

We have a home with hardwood flooring-- except for a 13x9 wool area rug, and that is where our beloved French bulldog relieved herself before we realized she had a urinary tract infection. No store-bought enzymatic cleaner nor steam-cleaner could get the odor out and there was faint staining in a few places too. The rug was expensive so I asked around and heard that there is only one place in Atlanta that could save it: Sharian. Sharian can pick up your rug and deliver it back when it's done, but in effort to save a little money we rolled up the stinky thing and drove it down to Decatur.
They took a look and promised to do their best to remove any stains and odors. I wasn't hopeful, I'll be honest. Also, hey had so many rugs in there, I figured it would take months to get ours back. A few weeks later our rug was back. Sharian did an amazing job! Not only were all the stinky smells gone (and believe me, I have a sensitive nose, and I smelled it up close all over to be sure!) but the stains were gone too.
All for a VERY affordable price to save a pricey wool area rug. I am very pleased and impressed by Sharian. I would recommend them to anyone with an area rug that is soiled or smelly. Since our beloved Frenchie couldn't smell any residual odors, she has not returned to the rug to pee. We couldn't be happier with Sharian. Thank you! Shout out to John G. for the recommendation and help with moving the furniture!

We had a wool rug that both a cat and dog started using the rug to pee on after the stress of moving to a new house. No matter how much we tried to clean the spots ourselves, there always remained a noticeable urine smell. We took it to Sharian and they did an excellent job in removing the stains and smell. It took a couple of weeks, but they explained the process and timeframe to me and the wait was worth having it done right. Not a trace of smell was left. I would highly recommend Sharian to anyone in need of their services. We won't be going anywhere else.

Superlative. We went in recently to get two rugs cleaned and repaired and took advantage of a sale to buy another. This is literally the ONLY shop in town that I'd use for cleaning or repairs. I used to work in the wholesale rug business years ago and this is the same company we used at that time. The people in the showroom were knowledgeable, patient, and friendly, and the prices were a good deal cheaper than what I've seen elsewhere. You know those old-time businesses that have been around forever, and have lasted for a reason? This is one of those. I'm happy they're so close by!

Along with immersion cleaning, the provider's services also including spraying our two rugs for protection from possible moth damage and wrapping them for storage. The quote received from the provider was fair, and they honored their original quote when we picked up our rugs. Our rugs were ready on the date promised, and the provider's staff was very helpful in loading our rugs in to our truck and securing them for the drive home. We are happy with the service received from this provider and would not hesitate to use them again.
