Are you struggling to keep your wool carpets clean?
Today homeowners have lots of choice over the kind of carpet to install in their home. One of the popular choices is wool blend carpets. Wool is a natural fibre made from the coats of sheep.
During a recent carpet cleaning job in Epping, we weren’t surprised that the new carpet our customer wanted to be cleaned was made of wool, considering its many advantages.
What are the advantages of wool blend carpets?
- Wool has a soft feel and natural lustre.
- It is an insulator that can lessen heat transfers in your home.
- Wool is easy to dye.
- Its texture can repel dirt and most liquids, making it easier to clean.
- Wool has superior wearing qualities.
- It is a natural fire retardant.
- Wool is biodegradable.
Disadvantages of wool and wool blend carpets
Along with the pros, there are also cons in choosing a wool carpet:
- It can be expensive.
- Wool has the tendency to loosen and shed fibres.
- Wool carpets absorb water, making them prone to mildew.
- The colour can fade from sun exposure.
Regardless of the disadvantages, wool carpets have more benefits than other types of carpets. They can be expensive, but with the right maintenance and proper cleaning, wool carpet can be a viable investment.
How we cleaned wool carpets in Epping
Our customers at the carpet cleaning job in Epping made the smart decision to take care of their investment. They had their new wool carpet cleaned to get rid of dust and shedding during the installation.

Here is how Marco from Chem-Dry South Western, refreshed these carpets:
- First, he vacuumed the new carpet to remove any loose fibres.
- Next, he sprayed Chem-Dry’s SuperCharger Carpet and Upholstery Pre-Spray.
- He brushed the product into the carpet to ensure an even distribution.
- He then waited five minutes for the product to dwell, but not allowing it to dry.
- Marco’s final step was to rinse off any product residue.
