I dropped off a pet-soiled, highly sentimental rug for cleaning. The rug was saturated with pet urine. The customer service was exceptional. The drop off procedure was quick, and the rug was ready for pick up as stated one week later. The results were outstanding. I could hardly recognize the cleaned rug with its vibrant colors and spotless beige fringes. The rug was thoroughly washed and the pet odor and stains were gone. I truly appreciate their service, will use them again and would highly recommend this company. I also received an Angie's List discount.

Response from K Blatchford's San Diego Rug Cleaning Company

"Hello [Member Name Removed], Would you please double check that we were the company who did your repair? Blatchford's San Diego Rug Cleaning on Silverton Avenue. We do not allow anyone to pay until they look at the rug, are happy, and then payment happens. This way we know everyone leaves happy. I searched every [Member Name Removed] in our database, and every [Member Information Removed] entry in our database, and nothing pulls up as a repair in August, so I cannot find this order. Please do double check your records, and you can contact me directly at 858.566.3833 and we can arrange to re-do any repair if needed. Our weavers always stand behind their work, and it is very unusual for us to not catch things here in the office because we communicate directly with everyone especially regarding repairs since they can be so complicated. Thank you! Lisa"

Unbelieveable results! The entire stain was removed without a trace, despite the fact that the stain was 10 weeks old. They picked-up the rug the day after I called them and they were on time. They moved the furniture for me at the time of pick-up and at re-instalation. The carpet was returned in 6 calendar days at the appointed time (this included July 4th weekend.). Price was very fair, especially considering the replacement value of the rug. Also, they provided a very informative list of what to do if this happens in the future. A+++ rocommendation.

I found them on Angies List and went to their website and liked what I found.

I brought in one 4.5'x10' Heriz oriental carpet to be cleaned  and two others (4x5 Turkish and 7x9 Russian) for assessment for possible repairs.  The Turkish one was starting to loose its fringe on the end and was also starting to unravel.  The Russian had some ripples in the carpet and did not lay flat.  The owner met me and looked at my rugs, assessed their condition.  One needed some repairs and she discussed options, and made recommendations to address the damaged fringe and unraveling problem.  For the other she recommended just cleaning it and flat drying.  She said that the ripples were caused by the lack of even tension during the weaving process and were intrinsic to this particular Russian carpet and although it would probably improve with washing and flat drying, it would not be eliminated. 

She also gave me a tour of the facility and showed me how they clean and repair the carpets.  I was very impressed.

I decided to leave all three carpets and will pick them up in about 7 days. they have a large roller press to help get the water out of the carpets before drying.

The cleaning and repairs were excellent,

I also ended up purchasing their special pads which are especially for wood and tile flooring.  They are expensive but terrific; I feel like I am walking on a thick pile, so luxurious.  After trying these for two weeks, I went back and ordered the same pad for the rest of my carpets.

I can't say enough about the staff and the one-on-one care you get there.  I can highly recommend them for cleaning, repairing and advice in general about rugs.  It is a family business with three generations working at the store.

They will even pick up your rug for a small charge, however I just rolled them up and took them down there.

I rolled up the rugs and put them in the car and drove them to Miramar area. A gentleman helped me take them from the car and placed them in a big area so they could assess their needs. Two of the rugs were fine and just needed a good cleaning but the other one had major fraying at the sides. They explained how they would repair them and what it would cost. This is all computed by measuring them and also what kind of repairs if any need to be done. They told me it would be two weeks and I left. After two weeks, they called and said the rugs were ready. I drove to the company and they had the rugs laid out for me to inspect. I couldn't believe how vibrant the rugs were and I couldn't believe how nicely they had repaired the sides on the other. The yarn they used matched perfectly, the fringe was nice and white again and I am enjoying my rugs once more.

Everything went quite smoothly. There was a very professional pick-up crew and delivery consisted of two men who knew how to position the rugs both upstairs and down to show off the designs to perfection. The Blatchford operation is small, and I did have to leave a message and wait for a return call, but this did not affect me. The condition of the rugs is so much better than with past services, this was a small issue to deal with!

From start to finish they were professionals and did an excellent job. Nevertheless be aware that they changed their Angiie's list discount after the first of the year.

Went very well. They call when the carpet is ready. Because we were having the floors refinished at the same time and couldn't put it down right away, they held it for me an extra week at no extra charge.
They are a little pricy but do a good job and are very knowledgeable about carpets. Definitely the place to go if your carpet needs any special attention.

Very, very easy! I brought my rugs to the shop. A nice young man immediately offered to get the rugs from my car and bring them in. He promptly did so. Lisa unrolled the rugs and checked them. She offered an estimate. At no time did I feel pressured. I was told it would be about a week. It was actually less than that. When I,picked up the rugs, they were unrolled so that I could see how they turned out. Lisa told me about the rugs. I am totally delighted with the service.

Kate cleaned an tribal rug that had general griminess from daily use. The rug turned out beautifully. They colored some of the white knots that always show as a rug is used, and there was not charge for that. We have taken many oriental rugs to blatchford's and have always been happy with how well they are cleaned. The price is higher than many other rug cleaning companies (~$4.50/square foot) but they do know what they are doing with these hand made, precious rugs.
