In general, rugs are very easy
to care for. Light vacuuming is essential, but there is no need to over
vacuum. avoid using a beater brush every time you vacuum. The density of
a fine rug will resist most soil, and surface vacuuming is generally all
that is needed on a regular basis.
Most spills can be handled by
blotting up the excess, and following up with cold water on a cloth.
Blot and lift, do not rub or over saturate. If it is necessary to use
get the rug more saturated to remove spill, try to elevate the rug and
circulate air to dry the spot as quickly as possible.
Greasy spots can be tended to
with a mild shampoo, followed with cold water. Avoid harsh detergents.
Fine wool rugs have a natural soil repellency, and detergents may
destroy or harm the natural oils of your rug.
A good general rule would be
that if you could put it on your hair, you could put it on your wool
rug. You would never use a detergent on your hair. Likewise, treat your
fine rug with care and it will treat you to years of pleasure.
