Our Approach
Moth treatment isn’t simply about spraying and hoping for the best. True prevention — and remediation — requires deep understanding of the moth life cycle and its relationship with organic fibres. We treat each rug individually, using targeted methods to ensure both eradication and long-term deterrence.
01
Thorough pre-inspection
We begin by identifying signs of infestation — larvae, cocoons, loose fibres, or damage to the pile. Rugs with visible moth activity are sealed and isolated immediately upon arrival.
02
Specialist immersion washing
Rugs are washed using WoolSafe®-approved detergents to remove household dust (a key food source for larvae) and dislodge embedded contaminants. This creates a clean base for treatment to bond effectively.
03
In-wash moth treatment
We apply a specialist moth-repellent solution during the wash. Unlike standard industry sprays, our formula penetrates deep into the fibres — reaching the areas moths prefer to lay eggs and feed.
04
Dual-side application after drying
Once the rug is clean and dry, we apply the solution again to both sides. This ensures long-lasting protection and disrupts the cycle of reinfestation.
05
Advice for prevention at home
We offer discreet guidance on how to store, position, and care for your rug to reduce the risk of future infestations, from vacuuming habits to light exposure and seasonal inspections.
"You didn’t just clean the rug — you saved it. We thought the moth damage was too far gone, but you restored it and made us feel confident it wouldn’t happen again. Completely professional from start to finish."
