Wool carpets are among the most luxurious and durable floor coverings available, but they also require specialized care. Unlike synthetic fibers, wool is a natural protein fiber that can shrink, felt, or bleed color if exposed to the wrong cleaning chemicals or excessive heat and moisture. At American Steamers, our technicians are trained specifically in wool fiber care and use pH-balanced, wool-safe cleaning solutions that clean deeply without damaging the fiber structure.

The key to safe wool cleaning is low-moisture extraction, controlled water temperature, and the right detergent chemistry. We avoid alkaline cleaners that break down the natural lanolin in wool, and we use gentle agitation techniques to lift soil without distorting the pile. After cleaning, we groom and block your wool carpet to ensure it dries flat and retains its original shape and texture.

Whether you have a machine-made Berber, a hand-woven Axminster, or a custom wool area rug, we have the expertise to restore it safely. We also handle Oriental, Persian, and silk rugs with the same level of care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can wool carpets be steam cleaned?

Traditional high-heat steam is not recommended for wool. We use low-moisture hot water extraction at controlled temperatures that are safe for wool fibers.

Why is my wool rug shedding, will cleaning make it worse?

New wool rugs naturally shed for the first year or two. Professional cleaning with proper pH solutions and gentle agitation should not increase shedding.

My wool rug has a musty smell, can you help?

Yes. Musty odors in wool rugs typically come from moisture trapped in the backing. Our thorough cleaning and controlled drying process eliminates this at the source.

How often should wool carpet be professionally cleaned?

Every 12, 18 months is ideal for most households. High-traffic areas may need attention more frequently.
