Wool rugs give out a nice and aesthetically pleasing feel around any home or office space. Their thick, lush weave creates a feeling of warmth around the area. However, because of the wool’s thicker quality compared to other carpet materials, it does tend to collect more dirt and grime as a result.

This is why it is vital to give your woolen carpets the right amount of maintenance on a regular basis. At Kennedy Carpet, we have had years of experience when it comes to cleaning rugs and carpets of all sizes and materials – wool included.

Wool Rug Cleaning Methods

The important thing to know about wool rugs is that while their thick woven fibers make it easier to vacuum up the dirt particles, you also have to be aware that this makes it quite susceptible to moisture. As such, it is especially difficult to effectively dry a wool rug, especially if it covers a large area like wall to wall carpeting.

Our vacuuming methods take into careful account the thickness of your carpet, as well as the amount of material that needs to be cleaned. We make use of the correct type of brushes to avoid any excessive vacuuming that can cause inadvertent damage to the rug.

For liquid spills, we use a combination of misting and blotting techniques so as not to spread the amount of moisture across the rug and cause unwanted stains. We avoid using unnecessary solutions and detergents, especially those of high alkaline content, for this type of cleaning process.
