S.K. Hamrah Rug Service was established in 1934 by Salim Khalil Hamrah. The name Hamrah is synonymous with quality rug cleaning, distinctive Oriental rugs and durable, attractive wall to wall carpeting. In our earlier years, S.K. Hamrah's main business was fine rug care. People sent their winter rugs out in the spring for cleaning and storage and replaced them with lighter weight hook, sisal or chenile rugs for the Summer season. In the early 1950's, S.K. Hamrah Rug Service Co. was purchased by the George family, which then consisted of my grandfather, Khalil George, my father, David K. George and my two uncles, Fred K. George and George K. George.
We offer a wide selection of quality residential and commercial wall-to-wall carpeting, along with professional installation service. We carry the finest brands of sisal, berber, plush, frieze, textured, saxony and cut & loop carpeting from makers such as Couristan, Nourison, Masland, Milliken, Karastan, Robertex. Shaw and Radici using materials, such as nylon, wool and olefin. Serging and binding are processes that protect the ends from fraying or damage, while offering a completed look to area carpeting.
A professional Oriental rug cleaning will enhance your carpets, bringing out the richness of color and softness of the wool. Depending on the amount of traffic, a professional washing is recommended every one to three years for the cleaning of your Oriental rug. Oriental rugs, like most carpeting, should be vacuumed on a regular basis to remove dirt and restore life to the fibers. Be sure not to vacuum the fringe. Always rub or brush lightly from the outer edge toward the center of the stain to prevent speaking or causing "the ring" when using solvents, especially on twist rugs and pile carpets.
Oriental rugs have been enjoyed for their warm, inviting appeal for over 2500 years. There is no substitute for the charm of a decorative, durable, handmade Persian, Indian or Turkish area rug. We have been selling, repairing and cleaning these types and many more for over 86 years and have the finest collection in the NJ/PA/NY area. Many are one-of-a-kind designs that can never be fully duplicated, making your rug a personal statement that expresses your unique taste in fine home decor. There are countless designs and combinations that compliment your home's furnishings and set the right mood for each and every room in your home.
