Storage and moth care
A summer away from the moths.
Moths go for soiled wool. A rug that goes into storage should go in clean.
We wash the rug first, dry it flat, roll it with the pile and wrap it in paper with cedar. It lies on a rack off the floor until you call.

Questions about this job.
Do you use mothballs?
No. We use cedar and paper wrap, which lower the odds but can't promise a rug stays free of moths.
Why not plastic?
Wool needs to breathe. Plastic holds moisture against it.
What happens if I don't collect it?
We call, text and write before any storage terms apply. The details are on our policies page.
