Rug Repair Process

Repairing rug moth damage is a painstaking, detail-oriented task. But our skilled, certified technicians understand rug structure and deliver incredible results — often, the rug repair work is not even discernible.

01 We first evaluate the rug’s condition, extent of damage and whether the costly repairs will be worth the return. Depending on the extent of the damage, pattern, and size, moth damage can be expensive and time-consuming to repair; in some cases, the repairs may exceed the value of the rug.

02 We then evaluate the original fabric and search out as close a match as possible for our professional moth damage rug repair. An exact match is not always available, but we will do our best to make sure whatever is used will blend in to the existing material/colors.

03 We then carefully remove the moth-eaten damage by hand.

04 Next, we begin weaving the new material into the rug thread by thread, until the rug is restored to its former beauty.

05 Finally, we cut, shape, and distress the new areas as much as needed to match the neighboring areas as closely as possible.

06 Your beautiful rug is now ready to come home.

How to Prevent Rug Moth Damage

Following these tips will lessen the chance of widespread moth damage occurring before you see it — and the need for rug moth damage services.

01 Vacuum or sweep your rug regularly to prevent a moth infestation

02 Because moths hide in dark places, you must try to move your furniture — or at least vacuum the rug under the furniture

03 If you notice what looks like small rice flakes on your rug, it’s too late. Those are clothes moth larvae. Call us immediately and schedule a professional rug cleaning.

04 Our unique purified water submersion rug cleaning system and 9-step cleaning process will thoroughly clean your rug, eradicating any larvae, so the moths don’t come back

05 Finally, clean any other wool objects in your home to ensure they are not harboring more larvae. Check your pantry for moths. This type of moth, called Indian meal moth, will also eat wool and other natural fibers because they contain keratin, a protein

Keep in mind, we handle all types of rug repair services including fringe repair, rug backing repair, rug pads, grooming and shearing, and pet odor and stain removal.
