I'm a 74 year old female......and I did this by myself! AWESOME!

[@fc872e1]

Thank you! This was more than a help to me. It proved the difference between being able to buy a rug we stumbled on and wanted, and not being able to buy it because we couldn’t get it home

[@dianadeboe9089]

Thanks Dan. REally good instruction. We tried folding our persian carpet 2ce, without success. THen we followed your tutorial and it fits perfectly at 44 lbs into a large suitcase, perfectly. HAllelujah. we can take it back from France to the US in a suitcase rather than a shipping company. Brilliant man!

[@kamb7587]

A very helpful informative video, helped me neatly fold a 2.1m x 3.2m Persian rug and fit it in a suitcase after struggling with this for a whole afternoon! Thank you so much!

[@528deejay]

i managed to get a 2m x 3m heavy stiff Turkish rug into a regular size suitcase. tried it rolling the pile inside, impossible to fold, then saw your vdo, tried it the other way.. room to spare. I'm taking this home from the middle east so Im gratefll for your tips. excellent vdo

I used to sell handmade rugs many years ago. My love for them has only grown over the years

[@aminmansouri6490]

I am Persian. This is the first time I see a Persian rug is folded up in this way! I was moved! Well done:)

[@chaoscore09]

Amin Mansouri manam hameentor hahaha

[@markchimmy]

OMG!!! Thanks a million man!!! You just saved me a lot of money!!! I thought I'd have to rent a van to go pick up the same rug as in this video and drag it by myself not knowing how up the stairs and around corners of the house! Wow! I never would have thought of doing it this way! So simple! and it will fit in any car no sweat in the trunk or even back seat! Thank you so much for sharing this video!!!and Merry Christmas 🎅!and a happy new year!!!

[@johndimaggio5431]

Thank you very much for posting this video! I use your video to email my seller on ebay to show them how to fold and ship their rugs to me when I buy them! Great posting!

[@CasbahD]

OMG!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VID!! I've got 3 6x9 rugs that I needed to store and was looking at those tube style bags at $16 apiece. With your method they now fit in lawn garbage bags, ready for storage. Brilliant!

[@Lili-xq9sn]

I don't think they should be stored in plastic.

[@jmyonan]

Two things...First, never fold a rug for long-term storage. Always roll the rug. Two, never store a valuable hand-made rug in plastic. Use non-acidic brown paper with duct tape on the seams of the paper (and never get the tape adhesive on the rug). Hand-made rugs need to "breathe".

[@hankdemarest3604]

Fantastic video. After trying on my own (and failing) I was able to get a rug folded up just right. Thanks for posting!

[@sebastianspagnuolo6891]

Amazing video! I just pack a rug 2 x 3 in a small box, from Australia to Uruguay, thanks!

[@cargogh]

Just got ready to move a rug I lugged up 4 flights of stairs 9 yrs ago. I'd forgotten how old, thick and heavy this 11-3 x 11-8 wool rug is. Or how nice it was. And how 50 isn't the same as 41. Your video was exactly what I was hoping to find. Thanks.

[@Stanbluejay1]

Thank you very much! Helped us fold a 9x12 rug and fit into a loaded car. Great video!

[@alexandrae.1811]

Thanks for a great tutorial. My parents have a bunch of old rugs from Asia and I need to protect the ones I can. The rest are being used. We just got a wolf hybrid and so it's time to roll them up. I need to vacuum each side - yes. We are stuck in France with a bunch of Asian antiques. I wish I could sell them in Cali.

[@ameliaariellaletawlevin7341]

Thank you! I have to ship a smaller oriental rug and your video was not only helpful but showed me that it is possible!

Makes me appreciate them even more.

[@ZZZZ-zg3zb]

Many years ago I brought lots of rugs from moms house in europe by doing it this way Four suitcases all loaded Nice video

[@FugStatus]

Thank you, for the straight forward tutorial. Watched 5 videos, that glossed over everything half assed the work, and used rugs with the depth of a bed sheet as the piece being folded. Your very helpful with your no nonsense guide, without your life story or plugging a bunch of crap that has no point being in a video. You got a like and a subscription for your absolute awesome video. Nice vibrant color of your rug, thing looks beautiful. I inherited a bunch of old persain rugs, what would be the best way to extract the value out of them, without getting taken advantage of from the buyers? Have a few 6x10 or so, and a large 8x12, and a silk prayer size rug.

[@flowersinthefire]

Helpful for learning how to fold my heavy 9x12 wool rug by myself, thanks!

Should I fold my rug in this fashion before storing it? Whats the best way to store a rug? Should it be wrapped in plastic to protect it?

[@SmellyAcacia]

Thanks, very helpful!

[@theriddlerUSA]

Thank you so much!!!

[@homermunoz7735]

Thanks so much for the great informative video. I'll go try it!

[@jonathanmartynharvey4147]

I used to fold them in thirds one way, and did an according fold the other way. Not as easy, but I enjoyed the challenge

[@moerahman6749]

This is very helpful! Thanks.

[@markrice4808]

On my way to work downtown,I used to look in the bronze-framed windows of a very prestigious rug dealer. The customers would be standing off to the side while the young men would be fetching those parceled carpets at the owner's bidding. They would be unfolded, viewed, refolded, carried off. Sometimes, they were recalled to look at again several times. They used this process but did it so fast and automatically that I could never figure it out.

[@hapaboy0808]

Wow, exactly what I needed. Thank you!

[@misiekvuychik3768]

Great video. Helped me a lot! Thanks

[@OrientalRugClub]

If we cleaned the rug and brought it back to you the rug would be rolled, unless the customer requested otherwise. Thank you for the feed back everyone. People are saving hundreds of dollars by lugging their own rug.

[@haifaabusalem6953]

Great to know. Thankful for the download perfect & informative .

Great tutorial. Thanks!

[@RanalL72]

Amazing video. Thanks so much for the demo! Curious, is it bad for the wool rug to leave it like this for an extended period of time. If so, how long is too long?

[@kennyp2836]

Big help thanks!

[@kiyanahmadi9512]

Should I do this if the rug as big creases?

[@Putin1969]

Thanks a lot for your video!

[@JudyStoddard]

Dan, great video. I have a hiqh quality Indian hand made rug that is folded as you demonstrated here. How long can I store it like this? Years?

Can one vacuum pack a small carpet or rug, for travel?

[@zarathustra3976]

That gorgeous rug tells me "get rich"

[@امعمران-و2ذ]

thank you very much

[@mserrato587]

How do you fold an area rug wool 10 x 15 is about one inch of pile? Thank you 😊

[@BadRonald1]

The only thing is now the top of the rug is exposed to any elements to stain it. I would think to not turn it upside down. Can you say why turn it upside down?

[@ihave35cents95]

He already told you

[@iliasmith9434]

Thank you for the stating the size...10x13. I have rug I need to ship.

[@Monica-iw2hq]

Great video..Thank you

[@herlihymoving]

Is it okay to store the rug (for multiple years) folded up or should it be rolled?

[@workit2359]

I think you need to unroll regularly and check for pests. I put a ton of cloves in mine as a deterrent

[@rizza2085]

thank you....i'll try it now

What is the regional style of the Persian rug?

[@sueb153]

very informative!

[@meganbrown2681]

What were the folded dimensions on this?

[@paulavakian1728]

You take a great risk of damage by folding it pile out. The pile should always be protected by folding in.

私も高校生の時雨降って無いのに傘で顔隠した男につき纏われました！　途中でつけられてると気づいて（携帯画面を鏡のように反射させて確認した）思い出したように靴下まくる為に立ち止まったりしたんですが後ろでうろうろして全然抜かしてくれなくて諦めて普通の人は歩かない様な道のりですが人気が無い道は怖いのでわざわざ大きい道路出て歩いたらずっとついてきました。　結局家まで来ちゃったんですがマンションだったのでわざと違う階にあがって、傘の男は部屋に入るのを見たかったのかずっと下にいたのですがしばらく死角に隠れてその人が諦めるのをまって何とか帰宅出来ました。　怖かった！

Professional wouldn't be walking on the rug

[@kenanbulut9590]

God forbid anyone should walk on a rug. That's like a landscaper walking on a lawn. How dare them?

[@markchimmy]

Instead of criticizing be thankful for this video he made and by so helped you and many others learn how it can be done!
