What is Rug Tip Shearing?
Tip shearing is a specialized rug restoration technique that carefully trims the tips of the rug fibers. This process removes "sprouts"—longer tufts that can pop up above the rest of the pile—to create a perfectly level and smooth surface. It's an essential service for maintaining the refined, clean look of high-quality area rugs.
Solving Rug Sprouting and Pilling
Over time, regular foot traffic and even vacuuming can cause individual rug tufts to rise above the surface, leading to a fuzzy or pilled appearance. Our skilled technicians use precise equipment to gently shear these sprouts away, professionally resolving pilling and restoring your rug's pristine texture.
