Wool Rug Care
There's good reason for all the questions. Not all rugs are the same, not all rugs have the same history, and not all wool rug fibers are the same. With machine-made rugs constructed of synthetic fibers, it can be expected that all rugs of the same type have been woven identically and the synthetic fibers will behave similarly. The main considerations when cleaning machine-made rugs is the regular household maintenance history of the rug and the pre-existing condition (rips, tears, stains, etc.) of the rug. In addition to the factors that must be considered when cleaning machine-made, synthetic rugs, there are numerous other factors that must be considered when cleaning hand-made, natural fiber rugs. It's not as simple as it seems, so let's explore these considerations so that you will understand why a skilled technician will ask you all those questions about your wool rug.
