An area rug is a finished textile system, not loose wall-to-wall carpet.
Construction changes risk
Hand-knotted, tufted, woven, bonded, and machine-made rugs respond differently.
Dyes and fringe
Color movement, fading, weakened fringe, and edge damage should be documented.
Location matters
Some rugs suit in-home treatment; others may need controlled off-site work.
Share the history
Mention spills, pets, storage, repairs, and prior cleaning.
