Putting your Rug in Reverse: How to Get Rid of That Curl
After you’ve purchased your first area rug, one of the things that a few rug owners come across is that their rug may start to curl, either because of packaging or because of foot traffic. Although this is a very common occurrence, it’s nothing to get all worked up over. By trying a few simple tricks, you stand a good chance of uncurling your rug and saving it for long term use in the process.
Let’s first talk about why rugs sometimes have a tendency to curl up, especially around the edges. Latex is generally used to back the weaves of rugs, therefore, its memory-like element may keep your rug curled unless you reverse roll it. Additionally, latex will help maintain the integrity of the weave, even if you have to roll up the rug and store it away. This is all a case by case basis; for example, cotton and wool rugs are usually backed by canvas with latex underneath it, which means that it’s not subject to a lot of memory curls than say jute or sisal rugs.
The first thing you should do once you get your rug is to take it out of its packaging and begin reverse rolling it for about half its length. After you’ve done that, go ahead and leave the rug in that position for about fifteen minutes and then unroll it. The rug should then be able to lie flat on the floor at this point. As mentioned earlier, cotton and wool rugs that use latex underneath canvas backing isn’t usually subjected to memory curling. If however, it does have a stubborn curl, go ahead and roll the rug against the curl and it should flatten out quickly.
After you’ve finished uncurling your rugs, you’re set to enjoy your area rug! Just remember that if the edges do start to curl a bit to go ahead and reverse roll the edges. This should fix the problem quickly and will not compromise the integrity of the weave, latex and rug itself.
