General cleaning.

In general,wool rugs only need to be vacuumed twice a month. However, if the rug gets a lot of foot traffic or if there are pets that reside indoors, the rug should be vacuumed more often. Deep cleaning a wool rug is only needed once a year—light spot cleaning can be done on an as-needed basis.

Shampoo your Wool Rug

From time to time a wool rug can benefit from a deep clean. This might be the case because it’s a favorite spot for the family pooch to lie and it’s become a little smelly, or there’s been a drink spilled onto it. 

Always use a shampoo recommended by the manufacturer or a product made for wool rugs. Alternatively, add a cupful of a gentle, non-biological laundry detergent to a bucket filled with cold water and mix.

Be sure to follow the rug manufacturer’s cleaning instructions, and always test a small area before going ahead. ‘This is the golden rule when cleaning a rug,’ says Lucy Searle. ‘Pick somewhere inconspicuous – I recommend a corner. You’re making sure that cleaning won’t be detrimental to the rug’s color.’

Wool can be highly absorbent so never overwet a wool rug when shampooing it. Just dampen a white microfiber cloth and work in the direction of the fibers, and dab gently – never scrub. You’ll have to spend extra time on any areas where there’s heavy soiling and you should rewet the cloth with your cleaning solution as necessary while avoiding getting the rug wet.
