How do I properly store oriental wool carpets?

Moths can lay eggs in the woolen carpet fibers when they are in use in the home. When someone brings these carpets into storage they bring the eggs with them. Later the eggs hatch and new moths are born which appear in the hallways of the storage building seeking locations to lay their eggs. Proper storage of these rugs is a 2 step process.

1. Have the carpet professionally cleaned
2. Roll it up and wrap it completely in plastic (usually the cleaner will do this)

Those steps remove any existing eggs and prevent moths from laying eggs while in storage. https://behnamrugs.com/how-to-properly-store-your-persian-rug/
