Question 3

Can dog urine stains and odors be removed from a Persian wool rug?

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Should I steam clean my handmade Persian or Oriental rug?

Zoom Rugs employs master dyers who expertly strip migrated dyes and perform color correction to restore the rugs original pattern integrity without damaging the surrounding fibers.

Question 6

Is it better to repair or replace the fringe on a hand-knotted rug?

For valuable handmade rugs, it is critical to secure the fringe using hand-overcasting or binding rather than cutting or using machine-stitched replacements. This preserves the rugs foundation and collector value.

Question 7

The best method is professional sanitization followed by master artisan reweaving. Zoom Rugs hand-knots new wool or silk directly into the damaged foundation, making the repair virtually invisible.

Can a handmade rug be saved after severe water damage or flooding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if treated quickly. Zoom Rugs provides emergency water extraction, specialized mold-prevention treatments, and controlled climate drying to prevent dry rot and foundation warping.

Question 9

Does cleaning an antique rug decrease its value?

Accepted Answer

Proper traditional handwashing actually preserves and increases the longevity of your rug. Dirt and grit trapped in the foundation act like sandpaper, destroying the fibers over time if not professionally washed.
