We bought two rugs from Mr. Parvizian last May. We were away for the summer, and when we came home in the fall, we set them up for the first time. They looked beautiful and were perfect in our living and dining rooms. But it didn't take long for our puppy to spit up (twice!) on the beautiful new living room rug. I tried to deal with the stains myself, thinking since they were just clear "water," not actual vomit, it would be easy to blot them out. Silly me. (I later learned that puppy spit-up has acid bile in it, which eats away at wool if not promptly and properly treated.) The stains were still there the next day, so I turned to the internet and, alas, followed the instructions from several of my go-to reliable sourced sites for such issues--I mean places like Consumer Reports and Good Housekeeping, not just random DIY posters. Anyway, after applying a paste of baking soda and Dawn (benign, right? wrong, wrong, wrong!), things went from bad to worse. The stains were now huge and they were BROWN. In short, my beautiful blue and white rug was pretty well ruined. In despair, I did what I should have done in the first place--I called Mr. Parvizian. I explained what had happened, and he came out to the house after work a couple of nights later to have a look at the rug. Even though this was clearly user error (he kept scratching his head at "baking soda") he and his helper simply loaded the rug up and took it away, telling me he would see what he could do. A few days later, he called to say the rug was ready, cautioning us that it was "better," but not perfect. My husband and I drove to the shop to see what, if any, improvement had been made. The rug was laid out on the shop floor, waiting for our inspection when we arrived. It looked amazing! The spots had not only disappeared, but the entire carpet had been cleaned, and the stains were undetectable! So this sad story with the happy ending has a few takeways: -Do not, under any circumstances, try to clean your own rug if you don't know what you're doing, no matter what the internet tells you!! Baking soda is not an appropriate solvent for cleaning wool rugs! Puppy spit-up is very damaging to wool! -Go to Parvizian Rugs, not only for purchasing a beautiful, well-priced rug, but for the amazing and caring service. It was truly above and beyond, because this whole sorry episode was my fault--and really, Mr. P. was not obligated to do anything for me in the situation. He took it upon himself to take responsibility and to remedy this because he wanted a happy customer. That's pretty exceptional in this day and age. Thank you, Mr. P! read more

This is about carpet cleaning. I should have trusted my instincts and left when I saw a rug being cleaned on the sidewalk. I also smelled bleach which Mr. Parvizian denies using for fringe cleaning. The next clue was the condescending way Mr. Parvizian treated me when I brought my machine-made rug into the establishment to be cleaned. He told me my rug was not worth the price of cleaning. About a month after cleaning the fringe started to disintegrate. The response from Mr. Parvizian was that machine-made rugs have synthetic fringe and they are not responsible. The fringe is cotton, we had it replaced 12 years ago after a vacuum cleaner mishap. Then he stated that the rug was stained, which it was not, we do not have animals and our children have been out of the house for over 20 years. The last communication was that I signed the contract that in a roundabout way says they are not responsible for any damage to rugs being cleaned. read more

Disappointing. Do not recommend using them for carpet cleaning. I pretty much threw my money out of the window. Granted the carpet has been in our family room for over 15 years with two kids and a dog. I knew it wouldn't be pristine but I thought it would look better than what it does. I can't see any difference. It actually looks worse. I don't even want to put it back in my family room. I thought they could at least get it to look a little brighter. Although he says it was washed 3 times, I don't believe it. The solution he used was peroxide and distilled vinegar. ?? How about using something stronger to get out the stains. Not impressed. read more

Wonderful business--Mr. Parvizian and Rodica are wonderful to deal with. They have great rugs in their inventory and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. We have purchased five rugs here and have also done one repair and one cleaning of a rug we already owned for many years. (Our dog had chewed the edge of one of our rugs.). We thought the damaged rug was irreparable and now almost no one would ever even notice there was a repair. Absolutely recommend. read more

I have purchased from this business several times in the past, and have enjoyed each visit immensely. The selection of carpets is HUGE! But they seem to know where everything is. They are very patient, and will give you lots of details on each carpet to help you make a good decision. Their prices are reasonable, and they deliver. You can also live with your carpet a while to see if it works in your house. So, great service, low prices and low risk. read more

Great rug shop! Has an awesome selection and the salesmen are so attentive! Such a great rug buying experience and I would highly recommend visiting them as they teach you so much about rugs and what makes them so unique! read more

I have been buying rugs for 20-plus years, in homes located in Arlington, Va, Louisville, Ky, and now Annapolis, and I have to say, Parvizian is absolutely the best, from product, selection, knowledge and customer service. Their prices are always fair (which is NOT to say that you can't find a cheaper rug, but you won't be ripped off, ever). They will bring several rugs to "try" in your home. They will swap out rugs, giving you a trade in credit for as much as you paid, minus a wash. And they don't make you feel stupid, ever. No reason to go anywhere else! read more

I can't say enough good things about this business. My home has transitional decorating so I was hesitant to go to a store that appeared to be only traditional. They do have a wide selection of Oriental rugs but I also found two that were more contemporary. Pasha is a fantastic salesperson. He is enthusiastic but not pushy. He will bring a few choices to your home on approval and put them in place so you can see them in the space. That makes the world of difference in the decision-making process. In the end I bought four rugs and I'm really pleased with each of them. The business also does cleaning and maintenance for your rugs so that's a plus as well. I highly recommend this store. read more
