How do you clean a pure wool rug?
I have a beautiful beige wool rug in my lounge that desperately needs a clean. Can I do it myself or does it need specialist cleaning? If I can do it myself what`s the best cleaning products for it and the best way to do it? Many thanks in advance.

Round rug underneath a glass table – need opinions!?
when i use the Dyson Animal on my area rugs, on the carpet setting, it makes loud noises, is this normal?
I have a huge pure wool rug which is all tufty, lumpy and shaggy and if it’s like mine then as it’s not a flat surface a carpet cleaner, steamer or shampoo wouldn’t be any use on such an irregular surface, besides, doing so would shrink it and you’d be left with a carpet for a kids play house! You can either hire a professional or attempt it yourself using a damp towel and either woolite, or – as it’s real, natural hair – regular hair or pet shampoo and then blot with a towel and dry as thoroughly as possible, afterwards open the windows and spray the rug liberally with sillicon spray, it’s colourless and will make the rug water and dirt repellant, i did this with mine as soon as i got it home but as yours is dirty you will need to be cleaned first…good luck!
Call the local drycleaner and see if they will do rugs. That’s the easiest way to get it cleaned.
