Well, folks, it’s nearly 2022, and I want to finish off with a common issue. We have a rug in the shop, and the owner is worried about the white powder she can see on her floor.

Hi, folks! I’m Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care.

The rug had been sitting under her table for ages, and with the family visiting, it has seen use and moved. Because of this, she saw the white dust on the floor when trying to straighten the rug. Then, she scooped it up and brought it to Arizona Oriental to see if our cleaning could get rid of this powder.

 

Prescott Area Rug Cleaning Expert Explains Area Rugs

A tufted rug is exactly what we’re talking about when discussing the fundamental problem. These rugs are produced utilizing long, loose tufts of yarn that have been pressed through a textile basis.

To guarantee that these tufts remain in place, a coating of latex glue is placed, followed by a piece of monk’s cloth on the back to hide all the glue and give the rug a lovely, finished look.

As opposed to hand-knotted, Tufted rugs aren’t built to survive for generations, as most people don’t realize.

Latex glue grows powdery over the years and loses its strength. It will eventually make its way to the floor after being trapped in the rug for so long. When the customer discovered what was holding her rug’s tufts together, it began to fall apart.

 

Area Rug Cleaning Expert Can Fix Latex Powder Problem

If a tufted rug displays these aging-replacement symptoms or rebuilding, a few alternatives are accessible. Unfortunately, finding a suitable replacement is not always easy, especially if you adore the rug in question.

Locating the same designs and colors to complement the rest of the space might be challenging. But, in the long run, it’s safer to have your rug restored rather than replace.

To repair your tufted rug, backing must be removed, and the rusty, dried-up adhesive must be scraped off. New latex glue and a fresh piece of fabric will be stapled to the back of the rug after it has been cleaned.
