Rug Repair at Los Angeles Rug Cleaning

Many of our clients who give us their rugs for professional cleaning also ask for rug repair. In some cases they like us to down size their rugs. This maybe because of moving to a smaller home or some parts of the rug is damaged or some other reasons maybe involved.

In this particular case, our client wanted us to make a runner out of his carpet. We first cut the runner and then did the bindings on the sides by hand by one of our repair staff on site. For the bindings and the repair we use New Zealand lamb's wool. In some cases for the repair, we dye the yarn to get the color of our desire if we cannot find the right color in our yarn inventory.

NCIS LA at Rug Ideas For Film Shooting. LL Cool J Was Was Here

NCIS crew and actors were with us for three days on December 2, 3, and 4, 2013 for a film shooting. They changed the signs of the store as well as the decorations. They removed/covered all the modern/contemporary rugs and replaced them with classic/traditional pieces.

In any instances I could, I talked to them about how rugs are made and tried to change how they look at rugs and how they should see them as objects of art.

 The surrounding streets and blocks were closed by the police.

 I greeted LL Cool J.

 In his filming breaks in our store, I had lengthy conversation with LL Cool J on rugs, art, history, and culture.

 Eric Olsen was one of the other actors who was with us all day on the film shooting day.

The front windows of the store were covered with films/gels to prevent light reflections from the street.

Rug Storage Tips By Rug Ideas Los Angeles

Rug Storage Tips

Before storing your rugs, you should prepare them to be put away properly. 

1) Professionally clean your rug! When a rug is put away while still dirty, it provides the perfect environment for moths to lay eggs and breed. Additionally, we offer a non-toxic moth guard spray that will change the taste of your wool or silk rug, making it unpalatable to moths. A deep cleaning and moth guarding, in addition to the following steps will go a long way in keeping your rugs safe.

2) Use the correct materials. Using plastics of any kind is not recommended for long term storage. This can cause the rug to sweat. You should use heavy duty acid-free paper that you can buy from Home Depot or Staples.

3) Roll the rug with mothballs – or, if you can’t stand the smell, you can also use tobacco leaves to keep moths away.

4) Seal the acid-free paper with packing tape to keep papers in place.

5) Store the rug in an appropriate place. Your storage space should be dry and ventilated – i.e. not a humid basement that attracts insects. It's also important to elevate the rug. When your rug is on the ground, it's susceptible to water from floods or broken pipes.

6) Regular inspection is essential for your stored rug. Even when you take these precautions, you should still check on your rug every few months. Moths can do a lot of damage, but it only becomes widespread after a long period of time. Extensive damage doesn't happen overnight and can be prevented with regular cleaning and inspection.

Animal Skin, Animal Hide Cleaning and Repair in Los Angeles

Besides rug and kilim/flat weave cleaning, we clean a variety of animal skins cleaning. During the past few weeks, we have done cleaning, and repair of cowhides, sheepskins, zebrahides, boarhides, cheetah hide blankets, tiger rugs, etc.

On some of these hides and skins, we have installed fabric/canvas  baking to keep them flat on the floors. The owner of two of these zebrahides wanted to have brown canvas straps installed on the edges of the hides that we did.

 So if you have any kind of animal skin/hide which is dirty, stained or damaged, bring it to us and let us wow you with our custom cleaning and custom repair. It only takes us a week to bring it back to life again.
