Protecting rugs from moth damage
Moth activity in a rug can be worrying, especially when the rug is made from valuable wool, silk or older natural fibres. At Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning, we treat rugs affected by moth concerns with the care expected for Persian, Oriental, antique and other specialist pieces. For homes in Reading, our white glove collection and return takes the pressure off when the rug is large, delicate or awkward to move. We collect it from your home, move furniture where needed and take it to our dedicated facility, where treatment can be planned alongside cleaning if that is the right route for the rug's condition and fibre type.
Planned treatment with the rug's needs in mind
With Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning, it helps to know the rug type, whether it is modern or antique and if there are visible signs of moth activity or damage before collection. That information lets us plan the most suitable treatment and explain how it may fit with cleaning at the same time. Because we work by appointment, each rug receives individual attention rather than being pushed through a one size fits all process. Absolutely Fabulous Persian & Oriental Rug Cleaning also returns the rug to its place at home, re laid neatly after treatment and cleaning are complete.

Frequently asked questions
What signs suggest there may be moths in a rug?
Common warning signs include thinning areas, patchy fibre loss, debris in the pile or worries about a rug stored in low traffic spaces. If you are unsure, photos and a quick description help us understand what you are seeing before we arrange collection.
Can moth treatment be booked with rug cleaning?
Yes, the most effective treatment for moth infestation is alongside specialist cleaning. We may also be able to undertake rug repairs, where the rug has already been subjected to moth damage.
What should we tell you before collection?
Please share the rug type, approximate size, age if known, whether it is wool or silk, and any visible signs of activity or damage. It also helps to know if you want cleaning at the same time, as that affects the best way to plan the job by appointment.
