For the last 10 years, Charlie Ajami has continued this tradition that his father inaugurated, offering personalized carpet sales and service to an ever growing clientele throughout the metropolitan area.Charlie grew up in Cobble Hill and continues to live there today with his family. Entering his fath e r%u2019s business after World War II, Charlie has seen many trends in carpeting styles and many changes in cleaning technology. He witnessed the transition from the vogue of the room size rug to wall-to-wall carpeting and back again to today%u2019s popularity of room size rugs that enhance the handsome wood floors that characterize so many local residences.In Abadarian's location at 13 Bergen Street off Court, all phases of the carpet business are represented. The building, a three levelformer stable house that dates from the 1800's, has room for storage of client%u2019s rugs and carpets, a bright,well arranged showroom where a rainbow of patterns, colors and textures are arrayed and the carpet cleaning operation. Every rug serviced by Abadarian is treated by a specially trained staff who use handoperated equipment. Charlie has resisted the temptation to fully automate the process because the hand-worked process permits spot cleaning and special attention to high traffic areas. After treatment with the best cleaning agents, rugs are run through a giant wringer and then transfered to drying rooms.Abadarian%u2019s service includes pick up and delivery, although a 20 percent discount is offered to clients able to bring in and call for their carpets. The cleaning process usually takes about 1 week; clients may also arrange for de-static treatm ent, soil residtant processing and fire retardant treatment. The keynote is professionalism andCharlie Ajami, along with two of his sons. George and Chuck, personally supervise the entire operation.%u201c Carpet cleaning is important not only to the attractiveness of a carpet, but also to its wearability. Cleaning rugs at least once a year adds years of life to carpeting.\notes Charlie.It was 15 years ago that Charlie decided to expand the offerings of Abadarian to include retail sales. Braided, Oriental and hook styles are popular types in Abadarian's assortment. Remnants and runners are also available in myriad colors and patterns. Browsers in the showroom may choose from over 1,000 styles and displayed in sample books, on racks and shelves. Room size rugs, prayer rugs and special carpeting for kitchens, bathrooms and commercial use are also on hand.Abadarian CarpetCleaning Co. is openMonday through Fridayfrom 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Forfriendly information andprompt service call Charlieat MA 4-6435.%u2014Eileen PlatzJ%u2019Mad Hatters' Ball to Benefit Bklyn Hts Youth CenterA Gala Dance with a CarnivalTheme %u201cThe Mad Hatters%u2019 Ball%u201dwill be held Saturday, March 23 atthe Brooklyn, Y.W.C.A.
