Check for Damage Regularly
It's important to periodically check your area rug for damage or normal wear and tear. Remember, it’s easier and less expensive to repair minimal issues before they become major problems. Oriental rug repair is a unique art form, requiring skilled craftsmanship and in-depth knowledge of the rug’s construction. Our highly skilled IICRC®- and CRI™ SOA-certified Master Rug Cleaner can address all of the following repair issues:
- Fringe Repair: Frequently requested, our fringe repair service helps restore the original beauty of your rug. Fringe needs to be replaced every 10 to 15 years due to fraying, stains, and damage from vacuums, feet, and pets. We deliver a flawless finish.
- Rug Backing (and glue): Rug backing gives a rug strength, dimensional stability, and an added layer of protection. We can replace faulty rug backing.
- Binding & Serging: If your rug is unraveling or fraying at the edges, addressing it quickly will limit the damage. Our skilled Master Rug Weaver offers both binding (folding material over the edge of the rug and machine stitching it on) and serging (wrapping the edge of the carpet with yarn to create a more handmade look).
- Rug Pads: A quality rug pad protects both the rug and the flooring underneath.
- Grooming & Shearing: Sun damage, chemical fading, sprouting, blurred patterns, or matted fibers all deface your rug. We’ll renew the color and texture of your Oriental rug to bring back its brilliance.
- Moth Damage: In just a short amount of time, moths can seriously damage a wool rug. Moths favor dark spaces and often begin their destructive work undercover — on the portion of your rug hidden under a couch or other piece of furniture. Our rug repair specialists carefully hand weave the moth-eaten areas thread by thread until the rug is restored.
- Color Run & Fading: If the color in your rug has faded with time or run into other colors due to exposure to light, improper cleaning, or other factors, don’t despair. Our rug restoration experts have the skills to fix the color, seamlessly blending the old and new.

FAQs
Yes, most fine area rugs and Oriental rugs are typically repairable. For some repairs, however, it may not be feasible or cost-effective, depending on the extent of the damage. At the minimum, if you want to save the rug, our Master Rug Cleaner can stabilize it to prevent further damage and unraveling from occurring. We will assess the damage and discuss options and pricing with you.
Over time, fringe can become worn, torn, or discolored. Solutions include removal, replacement, and re-securing the existing fringe back to the rug. If your fringe is discolored, re-coloring may be an option as long as the fringe is not dry-rotted or bleached. Our Master Rug Cleaner will evaluate the damage and suggest the best course of action.
Fringe can get worn down much faster than the rest of your rug and become unsightly, or perhaps you’re just tired of it getting caught in the vacuum every time you clean. Either way, we can easily remove it and attach a new side cord to give your rug a “boxed off” look. We’ll discuss the options and pricing with you.
Holes can be re-woven, creating new fabric to fill the empty space. It’s highly skilled and labor-intensive work, but the best results are undetectable. The cost, however, may not be worth it for an inexpensive rug. If you would like a more economical repair, we can secure-stitch the edge of the hole to ensure that further fraying or unraveling will not occur. Our Master Rug Cleaner will inspect the damage and provide the best course of action based on the age, style, and value of your individual rug.
