Do you know what to do if your rug is damaged?
Oriental rugs are beautiful masterpieces and they make awesome coverings to your floor. However, in as much as you want your rugs to stay vibrant and undamaged forever, they are not made this way. The very nature of rugs exposes them to many factors that damage them: foot traffic wears them out, heavy furniture make dents on them, drinks get spilled on them, and moths and other pests can eat away their fibers.
