The business specializes in the cleaning, repair, and maintenance of area rugs, with specific expertise in Oriental and Persian designs.

The owner, David Tavit, grew up in Turkey where his father collected oriental rugs as works of art. He immigrated to the United States at age 17 and later graduated from college in Manhattan with a business degree. David entered the rug business in 1995 and has since traveled extensively in Asia, which he cites as the foundation for his deep knowledge of rugs. He personally attends every appointment and phone call. The cleaning process involves the removal of the rug from under furniture, pretreatment of all stains, and soaking in specialized products for several days. Rugs are typically delivered back to the customer about one week after pickup.

For repairs, the company employs an Iranian specialist who has been weaving and repairing rugs for 40 years and can weave a rug from scratch. This team handles fringe repair or replacement, edge restoration, hole reweaving or patching, moth damage restoration, and rug resizing. Odor removal treatments include the use of alcohol-based enzymes on the front and back of the rug to eliminate pet and urine odors. Moth treatment involves the application of magnesium silica fluoride to address larvae that feed on the protein-based keratins in wool or silk rugs.

The location is situated on Village Blvd, about 0.3 miles from the Harmony School at Princeton Forrestal Village. It is roughly 0.6 miles from Saint Joseph's Preparatory Seminary and 0.7 miles from the Princeton University - Forrestal Campus. The business is also located about 0.8 miles from Mapleton Preserve and 0.9 miles from the Delaware and Raritan Canal and the D & R Canal State Park Headquarters.

David's Rug Cleaning combines decades of personal experience with specialized technical skills in rug restoration, serving the Princeton area with a focus on thorough care for both high-end and everyday rugs.
