Rug Repair and Damage Prevention
November 5, 2017
With age and regular use, your rugs can be susceptible to damage. Thankfully, there are many rug repair service options available to mend damage. However, most people don’t know that most rug damage can be prevented using simple methods.
Rug fading can be avoided. Most of this discoloration occurs because the rug is placed in an area with direct sunlight. The UV light acts on the pile material and will cause it to discolor over time. Keep your rugs out of direct sunlight, and keep the curtains closed during peak sunlight hours.
Furniture is another common source of rug damage. The weight of furniture and the force of gravity can crush rug pile. To prevent permanent damage, you should periodically rotate furniture placement to allow the pile to breathe. A shock-absorbent underpad helps offset forces as well.
Regular foot traffic can cause the pile to flatten and wear out sections of the rug. A shock-absorbent underpad will help combat friction against the rug and prevent the pile from wearing out. This makes your rug resistant to mechanical pressure.
Annual rug cleaning can help prevent damage by renewing the rug material. Proper rug cleaning will remove dirt and any food particles. This keeps your rug safe from pests that eat rug pile, such as clothes moths and carpet beetles.
