About Us
Family-Owned, Serving Chicago and the Surrounding Suburbs for Over 100 Years
My grandmother, Mary and grandfather, Mihron started this business over 100 years ago. I can only imagine what they’d think of our operation today! My grandfather would be thrilled to see we’ve continued in the loose rug cleaning and repairing segment of the industry, and I’m sure he’d be amazed by how far our in-home carpet cleaning business has advanced. One thing that hasn’t changed is our dedication to the customer. Dedication to customer service is what has grown our business into what it is today. My grandparents insisted on strong customer service, and they passed that on to my father, Herbert who instilled that priority in me as well. I am passing that on to the future 4th Generation and teaching them that Customer Service is the most important aspect of our business. That’s what drives us! In addition, our dedicated employees are the foundation of our business and we have been gifted with many long-time employees who hold our values of true Customer Service.
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.

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.

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.
