Specialists in Fine Rug & Textile Care

Advanced Fiber Protection 

Fiber-Shield® Carpet, Rug, Drapery, and Upholstery Stain Protector 

Molecular-Level Defense for the Fibers You Value 

Keep your carpet, rugs, drapery, and upholstery looking newer, longer. Fiber-Shield® stops damage before it starts—creating an invisible barrier that repels liquids, resists oils, and protects fibers from spills, stains, and daily wear. 

Three Steps to Long-Lasting Stain Protection 

Material Assessment

We identify the textile’s fibers, condition, and existing treatments to select the right application.

Fiber-Shield Application

The treatment bonds to fibers, creating invisible protection without changing their appearance or feel.

Coverage & Treatment Verification

We confirm even coverage and provide simple guidance for maintaining lasting protection.

Protection That Works Before the First Stain 

On-Premises and In-Home Service 

We bring Fiber-Shield protection directly to you for installed carpets, rugs, upholstery, and drapery, creating custom plans that work best for your textiles and timeline

Secure Pickup, Transport, and Return

We coordinate pickup from your location, transport pieces to our facility for professional Fiber-Shield application, and return them fully protected and ready for use.

Furniture Handling and Reinstallation

Our team works around your furniture during service or carefully moves pieces as needed, ensuring a smooth application without disrupting your space.

Every piece treated with Fiber-Shield receives the same careful handling we give all our clients, backed by comprehensive insurance and handled by bonded professionals. 

Expert Application

Koko Boodakian does a superb job cleaning and mending rugs and restoring them to a new condition. The rugs truly look new when they are returned and I am always amazed. There is no other company I would ever use. I cannot thank them enough.

Amazing staff there, and the owner is pretty nice. They have a great collection from new to to Antiques. When took a tour realised, ita a whole Factory in all. Seems a small place from outside, but one you go in, you'll keep exploring, they even have a Repair Guy working the rugs right there, thats the most peaceful part. In thia new era, this art form is going rare.

The collection they have is pretty insane !!!

You gotta meet the real artist, back stage, who's bringing alive these antique pieces of art

I’ve used KoKo Boodakian & Son a number of times for rug cleaning, repairs, and purchase over the past 12 years. They have done an outstanding job every time. They are prompt in keeping appointments and a joy to deal with. They have always been professional and trustworthy. I would highly recommend them.

Brought a handmade Persian rug that had a pet stain on it and it was pretty dirty from day to day use. It’s a semi antique rug.

It was cleaned very well. The stain was removed but there was a line that I noticed after opening it at home.

I’m assuming they did their best and couldn’t get that part cleaned.

I was given a 20% off which was nice of the owner.

Overall, I’m happy with their work. I’ll bring more Persian rugs to be cleaned.

The only complaint I have is the estimator they have on their website. It’s for specific type of rug. The price could be higher depending on the material of the rug. I wish it would let you choose the right rug and get an accurate estimate.

The repairs service provided by this company is absolutely superb. We had a 4x6 oriental rug that was over 20 years old, but, until a new puppy arrived, it was holding up well. The puppy not only did her business on it, but started EATING the fringe and then started chomping down on the body of the rug. Not having had an experience like this before I was skeptical that it could be repaired at all, much less brought back to its prior beauty. I was assured by Sager that they could repair it as good as new. Well, Sager was being modest. I received the rug back today via UPS and it looks brand new and it is impossible to tel that it has been repaired. I would highly recommend this company's rug repair services.
I have gone here to stand out from the crowd when it comes to interior decorating. I don’t want a cheap, overused and over duplicated Wayfair or Pottery Barn rug. I don’t want to hear someone tell me, “I have the same rug!” I can guarantee that I stand apart from the rest. I cannot afford the fine Persian silk rugs that he has in his front showroom. Your search may start and end in the front gallery and if it does, bravo. But, Rest assured your carpet hunt isn’t over if you can’t! Ask about some of the used/trade rugs he’s accepted in his long spate of being in business (80 years!) I’ve included a bunch of examples of what you can find from the more affordable back room. Check’em out!

I’ve included a few of my selections of pre owned rugs. The ivory and gray one is as mainstream as I got — a Safavieh. My gorgeous red wool rug is my parlor room’s prize. I love being able to interact and learn about these historical pieces from Mohammed. His entire staff bends over backwards to make sure you’re happy and if I lived in the greater Winchester area I would have them come to my home for convenient rug cleanings with their green chemicals. Couldn’t be easier. If you’re on Main Street, don’t pass up the chance to be inspired by statement decor investments.

Koko Boodakian is the only place I would ever buy rugs from. I have been to the store many times and have always been welcomed by the owner and other staff. They have an amazing selection of rugs from different parts of Iran and other countries as well.
They also have a vast collection of vintage rugs. The owner has immense knowledge about each rug and is a trusted rug appraiser.

I have bought few rugs from this place. Each rug is a unique piece and represents a different design and culture. All handmade and from wool, cotton and other organic materials.

I got my last rug when I was in Ohio. The owner sent me images of a collection all with very affordable prices. He shipped the rug to my address with no hassles. I received the rug and immediately saw an upgrade to my apartment and everyday life. Feels great to walk on a piece of art made from organic wool material. Of course these rugs last hundred of years and are sustainable with no plastic in them.
I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Koko Boodakian and Sons. We purchased a carpet on black Friday and needed it resized before Christmas. I researched many companies and KB&S offered the quickest turn around at the best rate - and their final price was true to their initial estimate, which we received very quickly. I first experienced exceptional service from Sager, who discussed my needs, timeline and provided me with thoughtful options. I picked up the rug a few days sooner than they promised it back and the quality of the resizing is exceptional. Service, value, quality and speed all exceeded my expectations. This business cares about their work and their customers and I cannot wait to recommend and use their services again.

Common Questions About Our Services

How long does Fiber-Shield last? 

Fiber-Shield typically provides 1-2 years of protection depending on traffic levels, use patterns, and cleaning frequency. High-traffic areas may need reapplication sooner, while protected pieces in lower-use spaces can maintain effectiveness longer. We provide guidance on when reapplication makes sense based on use. 

Fiber-Shield rug stain protector is safe for virtually all types of materials, including wool, silk, synthetic, and natural fiber rugs and carpets. Our specialists assess each piece to ensure compatibility and determine the optimal application method based on fiber content, construction, and existing treatments. 

We provide both on-site and facility-based Fiber-Shield services throughout NYC and the I-95 Northeast Corridor (NJ, CT, VA, MA, PA, RI). For rugs and portable items, we coordinate pickup and delivery. Used as an installed carpet and large upholstery protector, we can apply Fiber-Shield at your location. Get in touch with our specialists, and we’ll help you determine the best approach for your specific needs.

Professional application by experts like Costikyan ensures even coverage and optimal results. Our trained specialists use professional-grade equipment and are certified as authorized applicators. DIY rug protector products can’t match the penetration depth or durability of professionally applied Fiber-Shield. Improper application risks uneven protection or damage to valuable pieces.

Fiber-Shield works best as part of a complete protection strategy. We offer: 

  • Mothproofing to guard against insect damage 
  • Flameproofing for fire safety 
  • Professional area rug cleaning and carpet cleaning services 
  • Expert restoration and repair when damage does occur 
  • Custom rug pads and installation services
