Water damage can be devastating to rugs, but quick action can save them. Here’s what you need to do:
1. Remove Excess Water
Blot the rug with towels to absorb as much water as possible. Avoid wringing, which can damage the fibers.
2. Dry Thoroughly
Air-dry your rug by laying it flat in a well-ventilated area. Use fans to speed up the process, but avoid direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
3. Address Mold and Mildew
If you notice a musty smell, consult professionals to treat mold and mildew. At Pacific Rug Gallery, we specialize in restoring water-damaged rugs to their original state.
4. Professional Cleaning
For extensive damage, professional cleaning is essential. We use advanced techniques to clean and restore rugs after water exposure.
