Stephen (Dusty) Roberts-owner/operator- travels the world for the rug industry and speaks at many industry events and conventions.

He is one of the most qualified cleaners in Canada, and has been certified by the Oriental rug cleaning company in Dallas Texas as a MASTER RUG CLEANER. He has also completed the rug cleaning program with the National Institute of Rug Cleaners(NIRC) and the International Institute of Carpet and Restorations Cleaners (IICRC). 

With all the years of training Dusty knows how your rug is woven, the safest cleaning for your rugs and the history of where your rug was made.

He started Lug-A-Rug in 1986 and had Luggie greeting Victorians for years. In 2004 the name was changed from Lug-A-Rug to Luv-A-Rug to better reflect our passion for area rugs and Luggie retired but has never been forgotten.

 

Dusty knows a lot of knowledgeable and influential people in the rug world,  Barry O'Connell is one such person. Barry has turned his passion for area rugs into an obsession. He has written hundreds of webpages about every kind of area rug made. Check out one of his websites to learn the history of Persian rugs. He can tell you where a rug was made based on the colours of the dye used. It is amazing the depth of his knowledge. He has composed a list of all the people in the Rug and carpet Cleaning Industry that he trusts and whom he knows are qualified to do rug and carpet cleaning.  Here is a snippet of what he has to say about us:

"Dusty has all methods of rug cleaning at his finger tips from full immersion washing to complete dry cleaning with no chemicals. He custom matches rugs to the safest and most effective process for the individual rug and never cleans in a tub or machine with other rugs where cross contamination or colour bleeding can occur. All rugs are cleaned with fresh and clean water and cleaning solutions.
I highly recommend that you check out Dusty's office Manager, "RugloverMary's" blog, she always has great advice for her readers and is a wonderful person that I have had the pleasure of meeting personally when I visited her hometown in Canada!"

What a wonderful recommendation from Barry, someone we also respect and trust.

Dusty also owns Rugbadger.com, selling area rug cleaning equipment all over the world.

Mary aka. RugloverMary has been working at Luv-A-Rug in the office for over 4 years, sharing my knowledge and passion for area rugs.When I started working here I knew that area rugs existed and that was about it, now I know much, much more and I love sharing my knowledge with you. I am WoolSafe Certified which means I know how to safely care for your Wool rugs. There is more to an area rug than just a floor adornment. Area Rugs are works of art, they tell a story about the weaver, and about their lives.

I write a blog about rugs, how to care for them, their history and clients personal stories about their rugs.
  

Don't know what rug will work best in your home? I can help you buy the best rug for your needs.

Clothes moths are your rugs #1 enemy. Learn how to spot the damage early and how to prevent it.

We love it when clients love their rugs after we clean them. Most tell their family and friends, some give us online reviews and some even write about us. Here is a blog post testimonial from a happy client that found us through my rug blog.

I also do short videos about area rugs that we get for cleaning and repair. Check out my YouTube channel to learn more about area rugs and what rug repairs Luv-A-Rug has done.
