Here's EXACTLY What You Need To Know About What NOT TO DO With This Type of Area Rug  - Prescott Valley AZ

Hi, I’m Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care and I see lots of dirty rugs. I also see lots of rugs that have damage from improper storage.

Here’s a little Oriental design rug that was bunched up, probably stuck in a corner of a hot storage area somewhere and then forgotten about.  Now it will not lay flat. This rug happens to be a tufted rug (made with tufts of wool yarn poked through a piece of fabric and then later the tufts are glued into place.) Because of the glue and because glue dries out it is important not to expedite the drying process of the glue. To help preserve a tufted rug, keep it in a temperature controlled environment. Storing a tufted rug in a hot attic or garage will only expedite the glue drying out.

 

 

Once it is dried out, a tufted rug quickly deteriorates and you’ll notice the following.

• A crunchy/cracking sound when you bend the rug
• A white powder on the floor beneath the rug
• Lumpy, pea size hard substance between the wool tufts and the monks cloth backing

This is a sign that the glue has dried out. Don’t worry, if you have a tufted rug we can fix all of this for you just like we did for this rug.  Interested in knowing more?  Call today and we’ll explain the process and provide you with a repair cost estimate.

This rug was washed, the interior glue was replaced with fresh glue, the backing and fringe is new. The client LOVES THEIR "NEW" RUG!
