Changes in weather, conditions, and just day-to-day use may make your rug less “flat” and more of a risk of being tripped over. They warp, lose their shape, and are no longer the proper size and fit they once were. Over time, rugs can also shrink and stretch out of shape if the fibers are no longer functioning the way they were originally meant to. At Megerian Rugs and Carpet Cleaners, we take pride in restoring the beauty and handiwork of your area rugs to their original glory. Often, over time, oriental rugs and other area rugs will seem to shrink or change in shape enough that they no longer fit the floor properly. We can fix these problems with comprehensive rug blocking and stretching services. Rugs will also need to be stretched following an overnight soaking as a part of that process.

FAQs About Rug Stretching Services
What is rug blocking and stretching?
Rug blocking and stretching are methods employed to fix any deformities in the shape and smoothness of a rug. Blocking entails reshaping and resizing a rug to its dimensions, which is typically achieved by dampening it and pinning it down on a surface until it dries. Stretching deals with situations where a rug has gotten crumpled or wrinkled, using tools to bring the rug back into its proper form. Both procedures aid in preserving the appearance of the rug and extending its lifespan.
Why do rugs need to be stretched?
Over time rugs may lose their shape, develop wrinkles or bunch up due to wear and tear fluctuations, in humidity or incorrect storage. Stretching the rug helps to reposition the fibers and bring it back to its state minimizing trip risks and enhancing the rug’s overall look.
Should I stretch my rug myself?
It’s not advisable to try stretching your rug on your own. Rug stretching should be done by professionals who have the tools and skills to prevent any damage to the fibers of the rug. Professional rug stretching services employ proper methods and tools to effectively restore your rug without harming its texture or causing wear and tear.
How often should rugs undergo professional stretching or blocking?
The optimal frequency for stretching or blocking of a rug varies based on factors such as the type of material and how often it is. Where it is placed. Generally, rugs are recommended to be professionally stretched or blocked every year or when you observe any signs of wrinkling or shrinking. For rugs located in areas with heavy foot traffic or that are prone to changes in humidity levels, frequent maintenance may be required to preserve their quality and visual appeal.
Can rug blocking and stretching fix any size distortion?
Fixing rug distortions through blocking and stretching can address size issues, although the outcome often hinges on the severity of the distortion and the type of fabric. These methods work well for minor problems, ensuring rugs lie smoothly and complement your room. Yet significant distortions might necessitate interventions or care.
