How To Take Care Of Your Wool Rugs In El Dorado Hills

The maintenance of your wool rugs in El Dorado Hills is something you should really be taking seriously. They need just as much attention, if not more, than your wall to wall carpet. If your wall to wall carpet is wool, this is for you too!

Vacuuming. This is probably the number one thing you can do to keep your El Dorado Hills rugs looking their best. Here is a couple of quick tips to keep in mind.

• Proteam makes several models with no beater bar. This brand is often used for commercial cleaning establishments, such as restaurants, etc. There are also a few brands with models that you can turn the beater bar. Shark Navigator as well as Black & Decker Stick both have models that have an on and off switch for the beater bar. If you do not want to purchase a new vacuum, be sure to set the beater bar up to the highest level it can go. By doing so it is less aggressive to the wool fibers.
• HANDY TIP: Be sure to vacuum side to side on your rug, so you don’t accidentally suck up and permanently damage the fringe. Use an attachment to gently clean them. This will help extend their life and minimize damage to them.

Professionally Cleaned. Be sure to have your El Dorado Hills Oriental rugs professionally cleaned at least every 3-4 years (every 2-3 if they are in a high traffic area). Even if they do not look dirty, they need to be thoroughly dusted and the fibers flushed out to preserve the fibers.

Spot Cleaning. Be sure to only use our wool safe spot cleaner to use for touch ups on your El Dorado Hills rugs. Don’t forget to only blot on your rugs, no scrubbing of the fibers. That will damage them, making them appear frizzy.
