Common signs that your rug needs professional repair include fraying or worn edges, holes, tears, loose or missing fringe, uneven color, or visible wear patterns.
Whether to repair or replace your rug depends on factors such as the rug’s age, value, and sentimental worth. In many cases, repairing a rug can be more cost-effective than replacing it, especially if it is valuable or sentimental. A professional rug repair service can guide your specific rug’s best course of action.
To properly store your rug and prevent damage, follow these steps:
- Clean the rug thoroughly before storage to remove dirt and debris
- Roll the rug with the pile facing inward to protect it from dust and dirt
- Wrap the rug in a breathable material, such as cotton or muslin, to protect it from moisture and pests
- Store the rug in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, avoiding damp or humid environments
- Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the rug, as this can cause creases or damage the fibers
