Rug Repair - Dog Chewing

Last week a customer brought in a couple of rugs, one for which needed a repair done. This particular rug is a small one that the owner's dog had done some chewing on. Take a look below:

The dog in question is a puppy, and they have been known to gnaw on rugs while they are teething. We put our customer at ease when we told her we had a fix that would keep the rug symmetrical. A decision was made to shorten the rug a few inches off the bitten end and put new binding across where we did the cutting. She chose the yarn color from our extensive palate and then we put the rug into the hands of one of our weavers. Take a look at the results below:

The rug now look fantastic and you can not tell it was chewed on by a dog at all. Our customer was extremely happy with the results and we hope her dog doesn't have the same inclinations any time soon. If you have a rug that has been torn or unraveled, by a dog or by another other means, bring it in to Rug Ideas so we can step you through your options to fixing it... the Rug Ideas way!

Custom Rug Job - Fringes Turn Into Binding

A Nepal Rug was brought in to our showroom by a customer who needed it cleaned recently. It is a beautiful 9 x 13 handmade rug that we had set up to go through our deep cleaning to bring back the color vibrancy as well as bring back the fluffiness to the pile. While our customer was filling our her paperwork she mentioned how much she hated the fringes on both ends, which had slowly been eaten away by many years of vacuuming and foot traffic. Take a look below:

We let our customer know that she could do a custom job on the rug to remove the fringes and sew binding on both ends. She was amazed that we could do that type of custom job and immediately placed the order to make it happen. The rug first went through our deep cleaning to get it totally cleaned, sanitized  and  deodorized. Once it was completely dry and ready we started to work on the binding. All the work was done by hand by one of our master weavers. We color matched the yarn(we use top of the line New Zealand wool) and the results came out fantastic. Take a look below:

Our customer was thrilled with how the rug turned out and cannot wait to get it back onto her living room floor. It is now clean, vibrant and now is a totally unique piece to be enjoyed for many years to come. Bring your custom jobs to Rug Ideas where our expertise translates into smiles for our customers!
