When storing your rug away, whether you're not using it for now, are redecorating, or moving, it's important to do it the right way — so you can avoid damaging it during storage.
First things first, you need to learn how to clean a rug before storing it, but what then? Is there really a correct way to store a rug? It seems so. "Simply because unrolling a perfectly stored one is so satisfying," says Elizabeth Shields a cleaning expert from Super Cleaning Service Louisville. "A rug laying flat without creases with neat edges. The colors and patterns look just as they should, without signs of fading or wear. There's no stiffness or musty smell, no moths or any bug nest, and it feels ready to use right away. If you do it the proper way, a rug will last you for many years. You might even give it as a family heirloom."
