Proper storage protects your investment during moves, renovations, or seasonal changes. These guidelines prevent damage during storage periods.
Preparation
Clean the rug professionally before storage. Ensure complete dryness to prevent mold and mildew development.
Rolling Technique
Roll rugs pile-side in, around an acid-free tube if possible. Never fold—creases can become permanent in stored rugs.
Wrapping
Use breathable fabric or acid-free paper. Avoid plastic, which traps moisture and can cause mildew.
Moth Prevention
Cedar or lavender sachets deter moths. Check stored rugs periodically for signs of pest activity.
Storage Environment
Choose climate-controlled storage away from direct sunlight. Avoid basements and attics where temperature and humidity fluctuate.
