Tom, who learned the craft in Persia, has been running his shop on Curzon Avenue, just off Camp Bowie Boulevard, for over 30 years. It's a one-person operation, ensuring that each rug receives the attention it deserves for proper cleaning, without the impersonal touch of a franchise. For expert rug restoration services and to get your rug evaluated, call (817) 966-2561 or stop by today.

Oriental & Persian Rug Cleaning: Our full hand-wash service specializes in Persian, Turkish, Afghan, Pakistani, and tribal rugs. Tom carefully inspects, tests, washes, and flat-dries each piece, ensuring that our thorough process exceeds the results of steam cleaning without causing the damage that steam cleaning might induce. 

High-End Rug Cleaning: Silk rugs, antique pieces, and investment-grade items from Kashan, Tabriz, Isfahan, and Qum require delicate handling. With over 30 years of experience in Persian rug cleaning, Tom provides clear insights on what each rug can recover from and what it cannot. 

Custom Rug Repair & Restoration: Our rug restoration services include fringe reattachment, side cord repair, re-weaving, and patching. Tom takes great care to match the fiber type and color as closely to the original as possible, ensuring that repairs blend seamlessly into the rug. 

Stain & Odor Removal: Tom frequently receives calls for pet accident cleanup, which is a common issue. He understands how urine interacts differently with wool versus silk and with older rugs that feature natural dyes. By identifying the fiber and dye type first, he tailors the treatment accordingly, leading to significant improvements in most cases. 

Rug Sales: At C.T. Rugs, we offer a diverse selection of Persian, Indo-Persian, Pakistani, Chinese, Navajo, silk, flat-woven Kilim, hand-knotted, antique, needlepoint, and animal hide rugs. Tom's expertise in Oriental rug care means he knows both how to sell and how to maintain these precious pieces.

This is where most Fort Worth rug owners make a costly mistake in their Oriental rug care. A standard carpet cleaning company will approach Persian rug cleaning the same way they handle wall-to-wall carpet. They often use hot water extraction, high pressure, and aim for a fast turnaround. While that works fine on synthetic materials, it can be disastrous for hand-knotted wool or silk rugs with natural dyes, leading to color bleeding, a flattened pile, and ultimately shortening the lifespan of a beautiful piece that was crafted to last a century.

Oriental and Persian rugs are intricately hand-knotted textiles, and the foundation, pile, and dye chemistry differ significantly from machine-made carpet. For instance, a Kashan wool rug from Iran and a Pakistani tribal rug need distinct water temperatures, pH levels, and drying methods. Misjudging these factors can result in not only a lackluster appearance but also irreversible dye loss and fiber damage.

Tom tests every rug before washing. He assesses the fiber content, checks dye stability, and selects the most appropriate cleaning method for each specific piece. This diligence goes beyond marketing claims; it is a fundamental standard of professional hand-wash rug care, which is often overlooked by many carpet cleaners. For those in need of expert rug restoration services, understanding these distinctions is critical.

Camp Bowie Boulevard has been a vibrant working corridor since the 1890s. Established businesses like Blue Bonnet Bakery, Roy Pope Grocery, and Kincaid's opened along the boulevard between the 1920s and 1940s and continue to thrive today. This isn't by chance; the Fort Worth area attracts businesses that excel in their specialties and remain fixtures in the community.

The historic Thurber bricks of the boulevard have been part of the landscape since its inception, and locals have passionately defended their preservation. This street connects the city's west side to downtown, carrying with it over a century of rich neighborhood identity.

Currently, the Camp Bowie District stretches nine miles from University Avenue to Loop 820, hosting more than 800 businesses. The Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce highlights distinct zones: The Bricks near the Cultural District, Ridglea Village further west, and Camp Bowie West beyond that. Tom's shop is ideally located amidst it all, just blocks away from world-class museums and beautifully appointed homes that feature exquisite rugs.

C.T. Rugs is a perfect fit for this neighborhood, specializing in Oriental rug care and Persian rug cleaning. It is neither a franchise nor a high-volume operation; instead, it offers personalized service from one expert who has dedicated 30 years to mastering rug restoration services.
