Dear Vedatunaldi, I agree with what Richard has said..
In addition what you can do is to place turmeric or dried azadirachta indica leaves inside the storage where the carpets have been placed so that carpets can be prevented from any biodeterioration. Keep monitoring them after 3-4 months and refill the leaves or turmeric kept in storage for better efficiency.. Also after 2-3 months remove your rugs or carpets from tvyek cloth for 24-48 hours so that it can breathe in between..then you can cover them again with tvyek.. this will help them in maintaining longevity..
