Hi there! It’s Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care coming from Chino Valley, 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.
Dry rot means your rug’s fibers are weakened and decaying and most commonly found in the cotton base fibers of your rug. Unfortunately, this disorder is one step away from rips, tears, and holes. Both excessive moisture and dry conditions will cause dry rot in your old curtains or furniture.
Arizona Oriental has seen rugs subjected to pets urinating on them repeatedly and as urine is acidic and made up of moisture-holding urine salt crystals, harmful to fabrics in tugs
Such salt crystals allow rug fibers to stay wet longer than they otherwise would causing dry rot problem.
It would help if you had the right urine-neutralizing remedies, the right equipment, and the correct rug cleaning technique to flush those nasty salt crystals from your rug.
Unfortunately, we cannot assess the full extent of dry rot until cleaning your rug. A hole is the only way to tell, yet we’ll wash and handle your rug, then flush out the rug’s urine salt crystals.
Another cause of dry rot is Sun damage, so take care to keep curtains closed when you’re not at home to protect your rug and upholstery.
Depending on the extent of the dry rot damage done, rug cleaning and repair of rugs that have suffered from dry rot can get costly fast.
Indeed, even correcting can be impossible if the damage is widespread across the rug region.
Expert weavers need to reweave the base and face fibers in affected areas, a time-consuming method for which these expert weavers charge premium rates.
Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care in Prescott AZ works closely with rug weavers to provide all kinds of repairs, from basic to more complicated, as dry rot restore.
