Dry rot occurs when the fibers of your rug get weaker and degrade and are most typically found in the cotton base fibers. Unfortunately, rips, tears, and holes are just a step away from this disorder. Dry rot can be caused by too much moisture and too little moisture in your old curtains or furniture.

 

Hi there! It’s Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care coming from Prescott, AZ.

We take rug cleaning seriously. For this reason, it’s never a good sign if your rug is stiff or brittle. Sadly, this is comparable to dry rot, which isn’t a pleasant condition for rugs. Here, you can learn more about why you need an expert area rug cleaner in Prescott to help when rugs are in this fragile condition.

 

Why Do Rugs Get Dry Rot?

Because pet wee is acidic and contains urine salt crystals, which trap moisture, Arizona Oriental has encountered rugs that have been repeatedly urinated on. This isn’t good for the textiles on the rugs.

Because of salt crystallization, rug fibers might remain wet for more extended periods, increasing their vulnerability to dry rot. Urine-neutralizing solutions, the suitable gear, and the correct rug-cleaning approach would help get rid of those awful salt crystals in your carpet.

The level of dry rot will have to wait till we clean your rug before we know for sure. The only way to tell is to poke a hole in the rug, but we’ll wash and handle it as normal before flushing the pee salt crystals out of it.

To preserve your carpeting and furniture from dry rot, keep your curtains closed when you’re not home. Depending on the damage caused by dry rot, cleaning and repairing dry-rotted rugs can become quite expensive quickly.

Even if the damage is contained within the rug’s borders, it may be impossible to repair. A professional weaver would charge more for this time-consuming service because the base and face fibers in the afflicted areas need to be rewoven.

Weavers work closely with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care in Prescott, AZ, offering anything from basic repairs to more complex ones like dry rot restoration.
