Questions
What is Larson Rug Cleaning's eight-step cleaning process?
Our process includes air dusting, industrial vacuuming, rotary scrubbing, hand scrubbing, high-pressure rinse, moth proofing, controlled drying, and fringe restoration to thoroughly clean and protect rugs.
How can I identify moth damage in my rugs?
Look for chewed areas under furniture, eggs resembling rounded sand particles, and cocoon cases along rug edges. Check back sides for missing knots and consult us immediately if damage is found.
How often should I clean my Oriental rugs?
We recommend professional cleaning every two years for prevention, though annual cleaning provides optimal protection against moth damage and fiber degradation in Jacksonville's climate.
Can moth traps eliminate infestations?
Moth traps catch male moths but don't stop egg-laying or larvae damage. Complete infestation removal requires professional cleaning of rugs and affected home areas to break the moth lifecycle.
How should I store rugs to prevent moth damage?
Inspect stored rugs every six months. Clean and moth-proof rugs before wrapping them in breathable materials. Avoid storing in attics, garages, or under beds where undisturbed conditions attract moths.
