Storage of Carpets
If it is necessary to store kilims for any length of time, certain precautions must be taken. Firstly, the rug should be washed, and preferably mothproofed - moths, as a general rule, like to breed in areas where air does not circulate. (It is not the moth itself that destroys the textile, but the larvae.) Before storing, any textile should be wrapped in airtight packaging, with moth balls, and it is preferable to store fabric of any type in rolls rather than folded up. If possible, acid-free paper should be placed between the folds or rolls of the textile, and moth balls should not actually touch the fabric.

Stored kilims should be kept at a constant temperature to prevent any condensation occurring inside the airtight packages. It is also advisable to wash, or at least air the kilim when it comes out of storage, to discourage moths further, as they like to breed in undisturbed conditions. Other possible predators are mice and rats, which will only be deterred if they are denied access, so rugs and textiles should be stored in a suitable container. Please note that insurance policies to not cover any of the above possible hazards.
