Curious about how our rug storage service functions and what tools we use? Let us walk you through the process. When you entrust your precious rugs to us, we ensure their safety with utmost care. We start by assessing the specific needs of your rugs and selecting the appropriate storage solution. Then, we prepare the necessary equipment based on your rug’s requirements.
For example, a rugged storage box has sturdy construction and durable materials to shield rugs from potential damage, dust, and moisture. On the other hand, a rug bag storage solution involves placing rugs in specialized storage bags designed to protect them from environmental elements. These bags are typically made from breathable yet protective materials, preventing dust buildup and offering a barrier against moisture. A rug storage rack also provides an organized and controlled environment for storing rugs. The racks are designed to hold rolled or folded rugs vertically, maximizing space efficiency.
Once we’ve chosen the ideal storage method and tools, our experts meticulously clean and prepare your rugs for storage.

Why do you need rug storage service?

Our rug storage keeps your Persian, Oriental, or Antique rug safe, guaranteed!
Folded Storage
Storing rugs for the long-term usually entails folded rug storage. Before storing, the rug should be cleaned by professional rug cleaners to avoid deterioration during storage.
We wrap the rug with either newspaper or tobacco to prevent moth damage. Covering an oriental rug with plastic typically prevents the rug from breathing which can lead to odor problems.
Short Term Storage
For storing rugs short-term, we fold the rug using a trifold technique.
Then, we place it on an elevated platform a few inches off the ground to prevent any possible damage from water or other liquids.
Long Term Storage
We store your rugs away from moths!
Moths are particular pests that eat animal fibers such as wool, silk, cashmere, angora, or other materials containing keratin. However, they only eat fibers that are idle and undisturbed.
What do we mean by that? For example, think about the portion of a rug under a bed or a couch. That spot rarely sees any disturbances such as foot traffic or vacuuming. This is their ideal meal.
