Dry rot, which is most frequently detected in the cotton base fibers of your rug, happens when its fibers weaken and disintegrate.

Unfortunately, this disease is only a step away from rips, tears, and holes. In addition, excessive and insufficient moisture in your old curtains or furniture can result in dry rot.

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

We place a high value on area rugs and take great care to maintain them. Unfortunately, as a result, it's never a good sign if your rug is stiff or fragile. Sadly, this is similar to dry rot, which is unsuitable for rugs.

Because urine is acidic and made up of moisture-holding urine salt crystals, Arizona Oriental has observed frequent urination on rugs, which is harmful to materials. In addition, these salt crystals keep rug fibers moist for longer than they would otherwise, leading to dry rot.

You'll need suitable urine-neutralizing remedies, equipment, and an approach to remove those horrible salt crystals from your rugs.

Unfortunately, until your rug has been cleaned, we won't know the full extent of the dry rot. So while we'll wash and handle your rug and drain the salt crystals away, searching for a hole is the only way to tell.

Keep your curtains drawn when you're not home to protect your rug and furniture from sun damage, another cause of dry rot.
