How can I prevent dry rot in my antique rug?

Prevent Dry Rot

To prevent dry rot, keep your antique rugs away from water sources; plants, sinks, bathrooms or entryways. Moisture over time will cause a general wearing away of fibers. Insects will also be attracted to moisture and food crumbs that can lodge in your rug.
