About Us

Family-Owned, Serving Chicago and Suburbs For Over 100 Years

My grandmother Mary and grandfather Mihron started this business over 100 years ago. I can only imagine what he’d think of our operation today! He’d be thrilled to see we’ve continued in the loose rug cleaning and repairing and I’m sure he’d be amazed by how far the our in-Home carpet cleaning business has advanced. One thing that hasn’t changed is our dedication to the customer. Customer service is what has built our business today. My grandfather and grandmother insisted on dedicating the business to the customer; my father, Herbert, insisted on dedicating the business to customer service and he instilled that in me as well. I can only hope the 4th Generation will follow what I have been taught and what I teach them; that Customer Service is the most important issue in our business. That’s what drives us! Our employees are the foundation of our business and we have been gifted with many long-time employees who are also Customer Service Oriented.

1906, Koshgarian Rug Cleaners was established by Hagop H. Koshgarian and his brother Mihron H. Koshgarian. Our first building was located in a two story home at 11 West Hillgrove Ave., LaGrange, Illinois. The company cleaned and repaired oriental and domestic carpets.

1918, The company was purchased by Mirhan and his wife Mary Koshgarian from Hagop’s Estate, upon his accidental train death.

1928, The company built and moved into a new office/residential building at 15 W. Hillgrove Ave., in LaGrange. Mirhon built a carpet washing plant, applying the latest washing technology to safely clean the many fine carpets and rugs of the growing western suburban population.

1947, Mary Koshgarian, responding to customer requests, expanded the business in to carpet sales and rug repairs. Herbert H. Koshgarian, Mihron and Mary’s son and 2nd Generation, worked side by side with his parents expanding the business.

1957-1958, Herbert built the building now located at 248 E. Ogden Ave., Hinsdale with a new state of the art Moore’s Rug Cleaning Plant and business office at 248 East Ogden, Hinsdale, Illinois. The equipment is designed for any type of rugs that may need cleaning and is still in operation today. It has been modified and redesigned, but able to clean any type of manufacture rug.

1965, Because of the needed service that customers desired, Herbert began In-Home wall to wall and upholstery cleaning. The most efficient Shampoo methods of those times were used with “Hild” being the best quality equipment.

1971, Hot water extraction became the State of the Art equipment and Herbert purchased only the Best. Hydra-Master Steam Extraction equipment was on all of Koshgarian’s trucks. Rug manufactures recommend Hot water extraction and Koshgarian’s were the first to have the top of the line equipment available for our customers service.

1981, Koshgarian Rug Cleaners expands to Naperville. The new western suburb office is headed by Terry Koshgarian, daughter of Herbert Koshgarian.

1993, Chuck Koshgarian, 3rd Generation, acquires the Hinsdale plant and operation from his father, Herbert Koshgarian. The company is now known as Koshgarian Rug and Carpet Cleaners, Inc. The same year, Terry Koshgarian purchases the Naperville operation from her father.
