Cleaning a wool rug.

9 years ago
My professional rug cleaner will not clean wool rugs. Says he doesn't want to be responsible for shrinkage. How do I clean it?

    Hi playcards,

    We do not recommend at-home methods in cleaning 100% wool pile carpeting. Professionals will usually use a steam cleaning (hot water extraction) method in cleaning wool carpet, but it can be tricky to try yourself at home since a proper balance of cleaning solution must be maintained to prevent damage from over-wetting the pile.

    We hope this answers your question. Best of luck finding a professional cleaner to help you out.

    Thank you,
