Question 1

How often should I have my wool rug professionally cleaned?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional cleaning for wool rugs every 2-3 years for rugs in normal household use. However, rugs in high-traffic areas or homes with children, pets, or allergy sufferers may benefit from more frequent cleaning, perhaps annually. Regular vacuuming between professional cleanings is important to prevent soil buildup.

Question 2

Why can't I clean my wool rug myself?

Accepted Answer

Wool rugs can be permanently damaged by incorrect cleaning methods including excessive moisture, improper agitation, high alkalinity, or high temperatures. Common issues from DIY cleaning include shrinkage, color bleeding, browning, distortion, and fiber damage. Our professional process manages these risks while ensuring deep cleaning.

Question 3

Will cleaning remove the lanolin from my wool rug?

Accepted Answer

Our specialized wool cleaning process preserves as much of wool's natural lanolin as possible. This natural oil gives wool its characteristic softness and soil resistance. While some lanolin is inevitably removed during any cleaning process, our gentle methods and wool-safe solutions minimize this loss while still achieving thorough cleaning.

Question 4

How do you handle the fringes on my wool rug?

Accepted Answer

Fringes (usually made of cotton) are cleaned separately from the wool portion of the rug using appropriate cleaning agents and techniques. We take extra care to prevent tangling, yellowing, or weakening of the fringe fibers. After cleaning, fringes are carefully combed and straightened during the drying process.

Question 5

Do you offer moth prevention for wool rugs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer optional moth prevention treatments that can be applied after cleaning. These safe, odorless treatments deter moths from laying eggs in your wool rug, helping prevent future damage. We also provide advice on home care practices that minimize moth risk, such as regular vacuuming and periodic rotation.

Question 6

How much does wool rug cleaning cost?

Accepted Answer

Our standard pricing is £20-30 per square meter with a minimum charge of £70 regardless of rug size. Wool rugs typically fall in the middle to upper part of this range depending on their construction and condition. All prices include collection, professional cleaning, and delivery.
