Hanging & Drying

Once rugs have been fully rinsed of all excess moisture in our centrifuge machine, they must be hung to dry.

The quicker they dry, the safer...

Rugs which are left drying for days in humid conditions are at a much greater risk of developing unwanted results such as browning and dye bleed. Our approach is to hang rugs in our drying room over night which is temperature and humidity controlled. Because they are hung up, air is able to pass over both sides of the rugs with moisture being pumped out of the room.

Why we can dry rugs overnight..

• Excess moisture has already been removed using centrifuge machine
• Room temperature is controlled to allow for greater evaporation
• Air flow is maximised (Bernoulli’s Principle states that the faster the air flows past a surface, the greater the lift on that surface, allowing more moisture to evaporate)
• Humidity is controlled so that water vapour in the air doesn’t reach saturation point
