been in the rug business. Established

in 1934 by Salim Khalil Hamrah, the

name Hamrah has become synony-

mous with quality rug cleaning and

restoration, and sales and service of

distinctive Oriental rugs. Currently

owned and operated by Robert

George of Whitehouse Station and

Charlie George of South Plainfield,

S.K. Hamrah

prides themselves on

their reputation as the premier sales,

service and restoration experts in the

New Jersey, New York and Pennsyl-

In the early years,

S.K. Hamrah’s

primary business was fine rug care.

Customers sent their winter rugs to

be cleaned and stored in the spring

and replaced them with lighter

hook, sisal or chenille rugs for the

summer. In the early 1950’s, the

business was purchased by the cur-

rent owner’s grandfather, Khalil

George, his father, David K. George,

and two uncles Fred K. George and

George K. George. Over time, the

George family expanded its services

and showrooms in order to meet

the needs of their customers, while

offering superior quality and old

world reliability.

“Our specialty is washing and

restoration of Oriental rugs,” said

Robert George, stating that just

about any problem can be solved

with professional restoration. Old

and antique rugs sometimes need

to be rewoven where worn, and

restored to life. Newer rugs rarely

require repair or restoration, but

A professional Oriental rug

cleaning will enhance the rug by

bringing out the richness of color

and softness of the wool. Depend-

ing on the amount of traffic, a pro-

fessional washing is recommended

every one to three years. “Early on,

I learned how the cleaning process

works and, particularly how Dad

liked to do it,” said Robert. “He

was very particular, and learning to

do it his way was a critical step

toward carrying on the family tradi-

tion of expert cleaning, which we

still do today.”
