Moth Removal
Carpet moths are a pest that hatches its young in carpet piles. The resulting larvae feed on the fibres over time, resulting in balding patches and holes in your carpet.
We provide a range of organic products that can deter moths from nesting and prevent further infestations. Click here to view the whole range.

History
Behar Profex has stayed true to the ancient art of carpet restoration, 100 years after being founded by Mr Samuel Behar’s grandfather, in 1920. In the 19th century, Samuel’s grandfather arrived in the UK as part of a wave of immigration from the Ottoman Empire. With little to offer other than a deep knowledge of the centuries-old treatment of Persian, Turkish and Oriental carpets and rugs, the family carried on the tradition here in London. Ever since, we are proud to have restored hundreds of precious antique rugs and carpets, using time-honoured carpet restoration techniques and tools, alongside some of the best modern innovations.
Today, our owner Robert Behar is the 4th generation of the Behar family in London. He is committed to carrying on the family tradition of restoring all types of fine antique carpet or rug.

After over 100 years of first-hand experience in antique rug cleaning and restoration here in London and around the UK, the Behar family continues that tradition utilising the skills and developments uniquely researched and tested in the intervening years.
Behar Profex is not only respected and renowned for its professional antique and modern rug cleaning expertise here in the UK, but regularly receive instructions from all around the world.
