Wool Carpet Care Tips

Regular care and prompt attention to spills can help maintain the appearance of wool carpets over time. It is often helpful to address spots and spills as soon as possible and to keep appropriate carpet care materials available for routine maintenance. Chem-Dry San Antonio technicians use professional cleaning products and methods designed for use on a variety of carpet materials, including wool carpets.

Regular vacuuming can help maintain wool carpets.

• An upright vacuum with a beater bar or brush may be suitable for many cut pile carpets. A suction-only vacuum may be preferred for some loop pile Berber carpets to help reduce excessive fuzzing. Vacuum cleaner dust bags should be emptied regularly for consistent performance.
• Help reduce dirt tracked into your home by placing absorbent mats at frequently used entrances. Clean or replace mats as needed. Filters in heating and air conditioning systems should also be changed regularly according to manufacturer recommendations.
• Pay extra attention to traffic lanes and areas near frequently used furniture where dirt and debris may accumulate more quickly.
• Keep absorbent cloths or paper towels and appropriate cleaning solutions available for quick response to spills and accidents.
• Before applying any carpet treatment product, review manufacturer recommendations for your specific carpet type. When scheduling professional wool carpet cleaning with Chem-Dry San Antonio, ask about our Wool Safe® cleaning products.
