Robert Mann Rugs

2018: The middle of October found us hosting a Rug Washing industry conference at our newly built facility in Denver. Over 150 industry colleagues came to visit, take classes, hear lectures and wash a lot of rugs. It was jointly sponsored by ARCS – The Association of Rug Care Specialists – and Centrum Force, the premier manufacturer of rug plant equipment. The event was a resounding success.

Most of our photography for the last 25 years has been done by my friend John Bonath. John has recently launched a new website - johnbonath.com - that contains a wide range of his work over the years - his life's work you could say - and if you have time to spare it is worth a look.

FAQ: Won't cleaning shorten the life of my rug?

No. Would your clothes last longer if you never laundered them? Accumulated soil and grit damage the fibers in your rug and stains become more difficult to remove with time. Cleaning prolongs the life of your rug.

If you ever wondered where the portion of the rug showing in our cover photos on Facebook came from, here is the full carpet for your viewing pleasure.

Visiting ATC (Antique Textile Conservation) is always a pleasure. Established in the early 1990s as a joint venture with Woven Legends, the company continues to do the best textile restoration work available anywhere. The scope of their expertise is surprising and encompasses such areas as European tapestries, world-class pile carpets, Navajo and Spanish textiles of the American Southwest, and much more. Their discipline and passion is an inspiration.

Restoration and repair is skilled work done entirely by hand. Simple repairs can stabilize a rug to keep further damage from occurring. Large-scale restorations can re-weave or replace missing and damaged areas. We perform repairs at our workshop in Denver and at our partner workshop in Izmir, Turkey.
