Our rug and carpet storage service

Many people find themselves in need of rug and carpet storage, whether because of a move, because the rug is only used seasonally, or because it is waiting to be sold. Proper rug and carpet storage is essential to the preservation of the rug or carpet. Using the right rug and carpet storage methods can help you to avoid temporary or permanent damage from creases, mold, mildew, or infestations by moths or carpet beetles. While rug and carpet storage is something you can do yourself, it can be a tedious job best left to the professionals!

Our rug and carpet storage services can ensure that your rug or carpet comes out of storage in the same condition it went in.

The first thing you need to decide is what space you can best use for rug and carpet storage. Ideal locations for rug and carpet storage have low humidity, are not subject to flooding, and are not subject to direct sunlight or extremes of heat or cold. Very few people have an extra room ideal for proper rug and carpet storage, and settle for areas such as attics, or basements. These rug and carpet storage solutions are often far from ideal as they are the parts of the house with the poorest climate control. If you do not have an ideal rug and carpet storage place in your home, you should definitely consider having the professionals at Oriental Rug Care NY fulfill your rug and carpet storage needs. We have extensive experience with rug and carpet storage, and will ensure that your rug or carpet is stored under perfect climate-controlled conditions.

Before placing your priceless rugs in the care of a rug and carpet storage facility, the first thing you should always do is have it cleaned professionally. Professional cleaning will help prevent infestation by moths or carpet beetles while your floor covering is in a rug and carpet storage facility. In addition, the rug or carpet should be checked frequently for signs of infestation even while in a rug and carpet storage facility. This can be done either by direct inspection of the rug or carpet or by inspecting other items that are in the same storage area. The professionals at Oriental Rug Care NY will vigilantly check your items stored in our rug and carpet storage facility to make sure that no infestation takes hold.

Once you have cleaned your rug or carpet, the final step before placing your priceless artifact in rug and carpet storage is to roll it. If you fold the rug or carpet before placing it in storage, the result will be creases that can become permanent if stored that way for too long. When you roll the rug or carpet, the best way to make sure that it keeps its proper shape is to use carpet tubing. It is better to use acid-free archival tubing, but it is also very expensive. A less expensive option is to wrap a standard carpet tube with a layer of acid-free tissue, but you must take steps to ensure that the tissue stays in place while in rug and carpet storage. Exposure to acids or polyvinyl chloride can result in permanent damage to the rug or carpet.

Proper rug and carpet storage is absolutely essential if you want to maintain their shape and overall condition. Improper rug and carpet storage can lead to numerous problems which will result in temporary or permanent damage.
