Wool Carpet Care Tips

One important part of carpet maintenance is the prompt cleanup of spots and spills. Acting quickly when something is dropped or spilled may help reduce the likelihood of permanent staining. Keeping basic cleaning materials nearby can also make spot cleanup easier. Chem-Dry of Boerne uses professional cleaning products designed for use on wool carpets and rugs.

Frequent vacuuming can help maintain the appearance of wool carpet.

• An upright vacuum with a beater bar or brush is often recommended for cut pile carpet. Some loop pile or Berber carpets may benefit from suction-only vacuuming to help reduce excessive fuzzing. Vacuum bags or containers should be emptied regularly for best performance.
• Help reduce dirt buildup by placing absorbent mats near frequently used entrances. Clean or replace these mats as needed. Air conditioning and heating system filters should also be changed regularly according to manufacturer recommendations.
• Pay special attention to traffic lanes and areas near commonly used furniture, where dirt and wear may accumulate more quickly.
• Keep absorbent cloths, paper towels, and basic carpet cleaning supplies available for quick response to spills and accidents.
• Before applying stain repellent treatments to wool carpet, review the carpet manufacturer’s care recommendations. Some products may not be recommended for certain carpet materials.
