MOTH damage is a very common damage we witness in rugs we receive for cleaning and repair. Moths are insects or pests who love to eat natural fibers made of protein such as wool, silk, or cotton. They are very destructive in the larvae stage and usually the adults are harmless.
The life cycle of a moth is roughly between 60 to 90 days.
Moths love humid, heated and dark places.
Moth damage happens when the rugs are left unclean and undisturbed for a long time under heavy furniture, and beds in places not readily accessible or in storages. Good and clean housekeeping and regular vacuuming is very important in controlling and preventing moth damages to your valuable area, Persian and Oriental rugs.
That is why we recommend to our customers to have their rugs professionally cleaned once a year. This is investing in your rugs and preserving them.
