Storing Navajo Rugs

Keep Your Navajo Rugs Dry & Preferably rolled and kept in a closet or storage area inside your home - Most storage damage occurs in garages or storage sheds subject to extreme weather, insects, etc.

A cedar chest is ideal. For long term storage a few mothballs kept in a cheesecloth and stored with the rugs but not touching your Navajo rugs, will help deter insects.

Stain Removal

(Option 2 : "Specialty Clean")

Our Stain Removal Specialists use the latest advanced Sun-activated Oxidation Cleaning Techniques to Remove or Improve Even Decades Old or Century - Old Stains!

Handwashing the Navajo rugs in multiple baths and carefully removing spots and stains while leaving the integrity of both the wool and dyes intact, Our Specialty Clean restores brightness to colors, removes grey dinginess from white areas, and removes or improves all stains including tough color run and pet stains (urine).
