Wool Carpet Care Tips

• One important part of carpet maintenance is addressing spots and spills. Acting quickly can help reduce the chance of visible staining. Keep appropriate cleaning materials on hand and follow the care instructions recommended for your carpet. Chem-Dry by Rhein uses professional cleaning products and methods selected for wool carpet care.

Frequent vacuuming helps maintain wool carpet.

• An upright vacuum with a beater bar or brush may be appropriate for many cut pile carpets. For loop pile or Berber carpets, a suction-only vacuum may be recommended to help reduce fuzzing. Empty vacuum cleaner dust bags or canisters regularly.
• Place absorbent mats at frequently used entrances to help reduce the amount of dirt tracked into your home. Clean or replace these mats when they become dirty. Change filters in your heating and air-conditioning systems according to the manufacturer’s directions.
• Clean traffic lanes and the areas in front of frequently used chairs as part of your regular carpet care routine.
• Keep absorbent cloths or paper towels and carpet-appropriate cleaning solutions on hand for quick response to spills and accidents.
• Before applying any stain-repellent treatment, review your carpet manufacturer’s care guidelines. When having your wool carpet professionally cleaned by Chem-Dry by Rhein, ask about available wool carpet care options.
