Carpet cleaning can be a real mess if you do not know exactly what you are a doing and many people replace carpeting with area rugs, especially wool area rugs. Wool rug cleaning is actually a bit easier and a lot less messy than any other material and wool area rugs allowing you a great deal more flexibility than carpeting because it is much easier to move a rug and replace it with another style than it is to tear up and replace full carpeting.

Wool rugs are sturdier than carpeting and easier to clean. All rugs and carpets will gather spills, dirt, dust, oils of various types and many other problems. Most of them can be corrected by a simple vacuuming and doing this regularly will greatly increase the lifespan of the rug. If you vacuum has a beater bar this will make the job much easier and keep your carpet fresh without using soap and water. When you are engaging in wool rug cleaning you want to avoid the use of hard soaps, shampoos and water. Carpet shampoos can be hard on wool and this makes it not a good idea to not shampoo very often.

There will be times when wool rug cleaning has to use some type of cleaner, and again, using regular carpet shampoo and water is not a good idea with wool. This material should be steam cleaned. Do not use the cleaners included with a rental cleaner as these are made for primarily polyester carpets and will remain trapped in the wool and eventually degrade it. Rental cleaners do not generally steam clean either so you might find yourself hiring a professional. Fortunately this only needs to be done a couple times a year as wool resists a great deal of dirt and grime.
