Over time, rug edges begin to fray or unravel, especially in high-traffic areas. At Ahmadi Rug, we restore edges with binding, serging, or hand overcasting depending on the rug’s construction. This stops damage from spreading and reinforces strength. Learn more about our rug repair services.
2. Rug Holes & Tears
Pets, furniture, or years of wear can leave holes or tears. Our weavers expertly reweave damaged sections using traditional techniques, matching fibers and colors so the repair is virtually invisible.
3. Moth Damage
One of the most devastating rug issues comes from moth larvae silently eating wool or silk fibers. We provide moth rescue treatments to remove active infestations, then restore damaged areas. Protecting your rugs from future attacks is part of our rug moth solutions.
4. Color Bleeding or Fading
Sunlight, spills, or improper DIY cleaning can cause dyes to bleed or fade. Our cleaning process uses dye-stabilization techniques to prevent bleeding, while restoration can revive faded areas without compromising authenticity.
5. Stains & Odors
Wine spills, pet accidents, and water damage leave lasting marks. Surface cleaning rarely solves these problems. Our authentic washing system removes stains and neutralizes odors at the foundation of the rug, ensuring freshness without harsh chemicals.
6. Uneven Wear & Traffic Lanes
When one area of a rug receives more foot traffic, it wears down faster. We recommend rotating rugs every 6–12 months and can rebalance pile through cleaning and grooming. For severe cases, custom padding and restoration may be needed.
7. Curling Corners & Wrinkles
Improper placement or humidity can cause corners to curl or rugs to ripple. At Ahmadi Rug, we correct this by blocking and stretching techniques so rugs lay flat and safe.
8. Water Damage & Mold
Floods, leaks, or even minor spills left untreated can cause mold growth. Our controlled drying and anti-microbial treatments stop mold in its tracks and restore rugs safely.
9. Shrinkage & Warping
Improper cleaning is often the culprit here. Authentic hand-washing prevents shrinkage, but if warping has already occurred, we use specialized stretching and blocking methods to restore shape.
10. Protecting Rugs from Future Problems
Prevention is just as important as repair. We provide guidance on:
- Proper vacuuming methods.
- Using UV protection to prevent fading.
- Professional cleaning every 12–18 months.
- Storing rugs correctly to avoid moths and humidity damage.
