Tip of the Day: How to Handle Loose Yarns on Your Area Rugs
Hi folks! Ruthie with Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care here once again in Prescott AZ. My Ruggies (my rug washing wizards) and I are always more than happy to offer tips to our clients on how to care for their area rugs in between professional cleanings here with us at our rug washing facility. Today I thought I would talk about what to do with loose yarns on your area rugs.
If you have an area rug with plush fibers, then it’s safe to carefully snip it off with a pair of scissors. I personally prefer using a small pair of embroidery scissors if I have them handy. That way, there isn’t any fear of accidentally snipping fibers I don’t want to. The smaller blades are also easier to control!
On the other hand, if you have an area rug with looped face fibers, you do NOT want to cut it! The loops in these kinds of rugs are continuous and cutting one of them will cause the rest of the rug to unravel. A single pull may be unsightly, but just imagine having your entire rug unravel!
Here at Arizona Oriental, we are more than ready and willing to help you preserve your beautiful rugs! From multiple repair options to thorough, professional cleaning, we do it all! You should always address repairs as quickly as possible to make sure they don’t get worse over time and turn into a more costly repair.
Till next time, enjoy your beautiful art for your floor and remember a clean rug is a rug that can last you a lifetime!
