Wool is the premium fibre for rugs. Wool is a natural fibre, and therefore has its own natural repellency, due to the lanolin content. It has fire retardant properties, is soft underfoot and creates a warm cosy look in your room.
Wool rugs will help with insulating your space and will also assist acoustically.
Your rug may shed a little when new, but nothing a light vacuum can't fix, and shedding will settle over time. A good quality wool rug should not continue to shed.
When vacuuming, we recommend a simple non agitating, non-spinning vacuum head, not a 'Dyson style' rotating head as this can disturb the fibres and cause undue wear.
Vacuum once per week to maintain fibre quality. Don't over vacuum, as this pulls fibres out of your rug.
For spot cleaning, we recommend Bosistos Eucalyptus detergent.
For optimal results, dilute in warm water, by mixing, then gently dab (don't scrub) the spill with a white cloth until the cloth dabs clear.
If the stain still won't budge, we recommend a professional clean. The less products you use on the rug, the better chance we have of removing the stain. Some cleaning products may discolour your rug or remove natural oils from the wool and make the stain worse.
When your rug needs a clean, bring it to our showroom in Bentleigh East. We offer a professional cleaning service from $40 per sq metre for most rugs.
