Wool Carpet Care Tips

One of the most critical areas of good carpet maintenance is the quick removal of spots and spills. It is of utmost importance to act quickly and efficiently when anything is spilled or dropped onto your floors, and to always have the necessary cleaning materials close at hand. Prestige Chem-Dry servicing the people in Concord, NC use special professional cleaning agents and tools specifically designed for use with the delicate wool carpets in your home.

Frequent vacuuming is a wool carpet’s best friend.

  • An upright vacuum with a beater bar/brush is the best type for cut pile carpet. A suction-only vacuum may be required for loop pile Berber carpets to prevent any excessive fuzzing. Your vacuum cleaner dust bag should always be emptied when half full in order to prevent any excess dust particles from escaping and landing on your carpets.
  • Exercise prevention maintenance by placing absorbent rugs and mats at the most commonly used entrances to your Concord, NC home. Change or wash these rugs and mats when they become soiled and dirty. The filters in your heating and air conditioning systems should be changed regularly to maximize the amount of dirt and dust particles that are removed from the air by the filter.
  • Periodically clean heavily used traffic lanes and the areas in front of frequently used chairs and sofas.
  • Keep absorbent cloths or paper towels and cleaning solutions on hand for quick responses to accidents and spills.
  • DO NOT apply stain repellent treatments which contain any silicone as they tend to accelerate carpet soiling. (Some carpet manufacturers do not accept responsibility for complaints where such treatments have been used.) When having the wool carpets in your home professionally cleaned by the experts at Prestige Chem-Dry in Concord, NC, ask about our Wool Safe® products and how they can best be used on the wool carets in your home.
