WINNETKA WOOL RUG CLEANING
When selecting the right material for a rug there are many factors to think about. There are a variety of a reasons customers decide to purchase a wool rug. First and foremost is usually because they are highly durable. It is harder to damage their fibers and they do not water spot or absorb stains as easily as a silk or cotton rug would. They also tend to wear much better than other rugs because wool has natural liquid and flame repelling abilities to protect the animal it comes from. For those who are on their feet often, another benefit of wool is that it provides an extremely thick and cushioned surface to rest weary feet. Although we don’t always think of wool as being the most prestigious and soft material (it certainly isn’t silk), when cared for correctly it can provide a feeling of luxury and relaxation unique to itself. The fibers in wool are dense, which is what gives it the ability to fend off stains, and what creates the warmth and comfort it provides. To top it off, they can come in a variety of colors and patterns giving the piece a very unique and high-end appearance. This makes a wool rug the perfect rug for central areas in the home that may gain more foot traffic, but that also still need a unique rug that can hold its own and make an impression. They are the perfect combination of functional and fancy.

Wool Rugs In WinnetkaUnfortunately, it is the same trait that gives wool rugs their durability that also causes them to become dirty and makes them difficult to clean. Not to mention that placing them in higher traffic areas of the home predisposes them to attracting more dirt and grime. As the thick fibers in wool come into contact with dust, they begin to trap dirt particles, even with regular care and vacuuming. As the rug gains more traffic, these particles get ground further and further beneath the surface of the rug and will latch onto the fibers, where they begin to disintegrate and disperse. This is what leaves you with muted colors and subtle set in stains that can be difficult to remove. If we can give you one piece of advice for these rugs, it is this – do not wait, be proactive in cleaning it! We recommend regular vacuuming, and a good professional cleaning every six to twelve months to keep your wool in top condition and prevent staining.
