Rug Storage
Why do you need rug storage service?
Learn how rug storage at Khazai can help store and preserve your rug better than storing it at home
Folded Rug Storage
When storing rugs long term, the rug should be cleaned by a professional oriental rug cleaners. After, it should be wrapped with either newspaper or tobacco to prevent moth damage. Covering an oriental rug with plastic prevents the rug from breathing and will cause the rug to rot or mildew. This can lead to odor problems.
Short Term Rug Storage
When storing your rug short term, you can easily fold the rug using a tri-fold technique. It is important to store the rug on an elevated platform a few inches off the ground. This prevents any possible damage from water or other liquid.
Long Term Rug Storage
For long term rug storage, it is best to roll the rug tightly and tie it with a rope. The rugs will still need to be stored elevated from the floor, but this will allow the rug to lay flat when it is unrolled. Larger rugs should be rolled up, tied with a rope and can be stored leaning against a wall or corner elevated from the floor.
We store your rugs away from moths
Moths are picky pests that eat animal fibers such as wool, silk, cashmere, angora, or any other materials that contain keratin. However, they only eat animal fibers that are idle and undisturbed. What do we mean by that? Take, for example, the portion of a rug under a bed or a couch that rarely sees any disturbances such as foot traffic or vacuuming, a carpet placed in the closet or attic. These rugs would be ideal candidates for moths since they are idle; they are not being disturbed.
