Moth Damage Prevention for Persian Rugs

How to Handle Moth Damage: To prevent moth damage to Persian rugs, regular care and maintenance are key. Here are some essential tips to protect your rug from moths:

Regular Vacuuming:
- Front: Vacuum the front of the rug regularly, focusing on high-traffic areas and hidden spots.
- Back: Don’t forget to vacuum the back of the rug. Moths often lay eggs in areas that don’t get disturbed, such as under furniture or the edges of the rug. Vacuuming both sides helps dislodge any potential eggs. Pay special attention to areas under beds, sofas, and other furniture where the rug may be hidden and less disturbed.
Rotate the Rug: Rotate your rug every 12 months to ensure that all parts of the rug get exposed to light and foot traffic. Moths are less likely to lay eggs in frequently disturbed areas.
Control Humidity: Moths thrive in damp and humid environments. Make sure the room is well-ventilated and avoid placing the rug in areas with high humidity. If necessary, use a dehumidifier to keep the air dry.
Deep Cleaning: Get your rug professionally cleaned every 5-7 years. This not only helps maintain its beauty but also ensures that any hidden moth eggs or larvae are removed. Professional cleaners can also treat the rug with moth-repellent solutions.
Move Furniture Regularly: Moths often lay eggs in areas under furniture where the rug isn’t disturbed. By periodically moving your furniture, you disturb these areas and reduce the chances of an infestation.
Inspect Regularly: Every couple of months, check your rug for signs of moth damage, such as small holes, loose fibres, or larvae. Early detection can save your rug from further damage.
Store Properly: If you need to store your rug for a while, roll it up with a layer of cotton or muslin cloth and store it in a cool, dry place. Avoid using plastic, as it can trap moisture. You can also add moth-repellent products to the storage area.

Following these tips will help keep your Persian rug safe from moth damage and preserve its beauty for years to come.

Immediate Spill Cleanup Tips for Your Rugs

It’s important to clean up any spills that occur on your rugs as soon as possible. If you let them sit, they can stain the fibres and be nearly impossible to remove. For example, Red wine, or any coloured liquid, sometimes spills on carpets. Don’t panic if this happens at your place.

Necessary steps

Blot the stain immediately: Use a clean, white cloth or paper towel to gently blot the wine. Do not rub, as this can push the wine deeper into the rug fibres. Just press and lift to absorb as much wine as possible.
Apply cold water: Pour a small amount of cold water directly onto the stain. This will help dilute the wine and make it easier to blot out. Continue blotting with a clean cloth, absorbing the water and wine mixture. Repeat until no more colour comes out.
Create a cleaning solution: Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar, one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid (clear, mild detergent), and two cups of cold water.
Test the solution: Before applying the solution to the entire stain, test it on a small, inconspicuous area of the rug to ensure it doesn’t damage the rug’s fibres or colours.
Apply the cleaning solution: Using a clean cloth, gently blot the stain with the cleaning solution. Work from the outside of the stain towards the centre to prevent the stain from spreading. Continue blotting until the stain starts to lift.
Rinse with cold water: Once the stain has lifted, use another cloth dampened with cold water to rinse out the cleaning solution from the rug. Be sure not to oversaturate the rug.
Dry the area: Blot the area with a dry towel or cloth to absorb excess moisture. If possible, prop up the rug so the area can air-dry completely.
Seek professional cleaning: If the stain is persistent or you are concerned about damaging the rug, it may be best to consult with Majid for a professional wash.
