Rug Cleaning in Los Angeles is a Must During Moth Season

The care and maintenance of anything in life is extremely important to its health. People take showers, wash their clothes, wash their cars, etc. Good health and cleanliness are directly proportional to lifespan for almost anything. Handmade Oriental and Persian rugs are no different. These pieces of art, which take delicate work and attention to make, require just as much care as any other piece of fine craftsmanship, especially if moths come into the picture.
Moths are small creatures that hatch as larvae and later turn into flying insects in order to lay their eggs. Moths not only feed off the protein in wool, but use the wool in rugs and other garments to lay their eggs; preferring places that are dusty, dark and moist. Those eggs then hatch into more baby larvae that do nothing but devour the wool in rugs and clothing until they also reach maturation and repeat the cycle over again.


Summer is the perfect season for larvae to hatch and develop in the warm, moist wool that households provide, making rug cleaning in Los Angeles a necessity. In no time at all a rug that took more than a year to make can be completely ruined. This is why it is crucial to have handmade Oriental and Persian rugs professionally cleaned during summer. Only through deep cleaning and wet washing can the water and wool cleansers completely wash out the eggs and egg threads. Unfortunately, many steam cleaning and rug cleaning services in Los Angeles do not kill the moth eggs entrenched in the wool. A true wet washing and deep cleaning process is the only guarantee that a rug will last.
With over 60 years of experience, Los Angeles Rug Cleaning is one of the few companies that provides this particular type of professional deep cleaning and specializes in moth sanitation and moth proofing services. Wool rugs are worth taking care of, so don't sit by as they get destroyed from the inside by moth infestation.

Dr. Kay explains, "Professional deep cleaning extends the life of your rugs and protects your investment." Dr. Kay is currently offering detailed rug inspections at no cost. He states, "We will let you know what your best options are for keeping your rugs healthy and looking great."
