How we carefully store rugs:
- Rugs in storage will be inspected 4-6 months for signs of any odor, for dusting, re-rolling, and re-wrapping.
- Best when rugs stored after washing / repair.
- Recommeneded: Mothproof rug if wool.
- Completely dry the rug, groom, roll, wrap and seal rug from insects, wet area, and the public.
- Wrapped rug will have air-flow (enough). All rugs will be placed above ground floor. Its never set on the floor or forgotten.
- Temperature contoled storage facility.
What to Avoid
- Don’t use mothballs or moth flakes for preventing moth damage. (These materials have little insect repellent effect, and the odor they impart to the rug can be difficult to remove.)
- Don’t wrap with newspaper.
- Rugs should never be stored dirty.
