Are Your Rugs At Risk? (Sponsored)

If you have rugs made from wool, you should regularly check them for moth damage. It is important to make sure that your rugs are moth-free, especially valuable handmade Persian and Oriental rugs, because moths can ruin your rugs if not stopped in time.

The damage actually comes from the moth larvae. Moths will lay the eggs in a food source — and wool rugs are a favorite target due to the high amount of wool fiber the larvae can feed on once they hatch. Since moths are averse to light, they will lay their eggs on rugs that are under chairs and couches, which will make detecting them harder. Rugs in storage are in particular danger because they are kept in the dark and not checked for damage or bug infestation.

To see if your rugs have moth damage, inspect the rug and look for small holes in the fiber or bald areas. Your best defense against moths are regular vacuuming and getting your rugs professionally cleaned every one or two years.
