Safely storing your area rugs!

Good morning! Let's talk rug storage.

Keeping your area rugs clean and well-preserved is essential, especially when storing them. Proper storage prevents damage and extends its lifespan.

Clean Thoroughly: Vacuum and have it professionally cleaned to remove dirt, dust and spills. The professional wash will also get rid of the dry dirt that is in the foundation.

Avoid Folding: Always roll your rug to prevent creases and damage. For smaller rugs, fold gently without sharp creases.

Vertical Storage: Store rugs standing up to maintain their shape. Some rugs you will not be able to do this with, such as handwoven wool or silk rugs. In this case you can lay them down.

Avoid Plastic Wrap: Use breathable fabric like cotton or muslin to wrap the rug, allowing air circulation and preventing mold. If using plastic, make sure there are some holes in it to help with air circulation.

Inspect Regularly: Unroll monthly to check for moisture, mold, or pests. Vacuum the area to keep it clean.

Protect from Insects: Use moth and insect repellents if storing in basements, attics, or garages. If you get your natural fiber rug cleaned with us, included in our process is a repellant for moths that we treat the rug with after it is washed.

Cool, Dry Environment: Store rugs off the ground in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heavy items.

0Effective area rug cleaning is essential to the good health of your family. Research at Duke University revealed that dust particles found in homes are capable of carrying hormone-altering chemicals that make the human body gain unhealthy weight. Amounts of dust as small as 3 micrograms are capable of causing measurable health complications for children. Dust particles contain synthetic, natural and endocrine-disrupting chemicals that are inhaled, ingested and absorbed through the skin. Dust lodged in your blinds furniture or carpets could be a primary culprit for breathing problems. When you neglect cleaning for an extended period, these particle's get into the air and pollute the air quality, potentially resulting in respiratory issues long term.

Potential Health Risks Can be Avoided

Rugs can trap allergens and germs and potentially increasing the risk of an asthma attack and other issues. Sanitizing your rugs reduces allergens and removes unhealthy bacteria—all part of having a healthy home. Potential health risks that may be caused by a "dusty home" include learning disabilities, cognitive problems and weight gain. Rugs require professional care—dirt can build up in hard to clean areas. We use a unique, long-lasting carpet cleaning process that is both natural and healthy for your pets and children.
