How to clean Wool Rugs
Wool rugs are good choices for decorating the interior of a home. Many people including me choose wool rugs for their healthful properties. They are seen as healthful options because they don’t accumulate dust or hold dirt particles or other contaminants within their fibers. Regular vacuuming will easily collect the small particles that are there. Wool rugs, due to the make-up of their natural fibers, are not attractants for dust or bacteria. Wool rugs are also flame-retardant; they will not burn or flame up so they are safe for the entire family.
Many people think that cleaning wool rugs is so difficult, in fact it is easy if you know it. First, do vacuum your wool rug regularly as this can remove many little particles from various substances that tend to get tracked across the rug. Regular vacuuming with a quality vacuum cleaner can help the appearance of your wool rug and ensure it lasts a good, long time. Wool rugs experts recommend vacuuming your wool rug between two and three times per week for the first year of use. Your wool rug wills fuzz up and this is perfectly natural. However, vacuuming the fuzzy away is a normal part of cleaning and is good for the rug.
Secondly, do work rapidly to blot up a spill or stain if one occurs. Gently blot and absorb as much liquid as possible. Use a white wash cloth or paper towel to blot the area. Only use once; rinses the cloth to re-use and throw the used paper towels away and get new ones. Don’t take a chance on putting any part of the stain back onto the rug.
Third, do use mild soap and minimal water to clean stain after the majority of it has been blotted up. You do not want an excess amount of moisture to remain in the rug.
Do steams clean your wool rug if the stain or spill is stubborn or resistant to your first efforts? If you are concerned in the slightest about the care that you can give your wool rug, do call a professional and let them handle it. As far as steam cleaning is concerned, you don’t want to get too much soap or too much water soaked into your wool rug. It is better to be safe than sorry and call a professional to handle it.
It easy, isn’t it? Now for those who haven’t wool rugs you can buy it from online area rugs store, they provide cheap rugs with high quality product. For more information, just visit www.superiorrugs.com

thanks for the information about how to clean area rugs. this will be very helpful. many people do not realize it is so much better to blot a stain out of a rub instead of rubbing it.

I bought a rug from superiorrugs.com that turned out to be grossly misrepresented on the website. It was advertised as 100% wool having a density of 600,000 points per square meter with a 12mm pile. What I received was a rug of low quality made of synthetic polypropylene, with a density of half what was advertised and a very low pile of perhaps 5mm.
This rug was one of 3 ordered at the same time and the remaining 2 were advertised to ship within 7 days. 2 weeks later when the order status on the site showed they still had not been shipped (my credit card was charged for them when the order was placed), I began sending emails to the contact address listed on the site, which promised a reply within 24 hours. Several days later I had received no response to my emails so I finally tried a phone call, which yielded the information that the 2 rugs were back ordered and would not be shipped to me for nearly another month. There was no apology and no explanation as to why I was not informed of the delay. And I was told the email address on the site is no longer correct. Again, no explanation as to why they have a useless email address listed as the best means to contact them.
As for the misrepresented rug, the representative insisted there was nothing wrong with the description since it initially listed the rug as 100% Olefin and only later in the expanded description was it stated to be 100% wool with a 12mm pile, something he excused as a misprint. There was no apology for the misrepresentation, and no offer to allow me to return the rug for a refund, although the website prominently offers a 30 day money back guarantee.
In summary:
1. The item received was of much lower quality than advertised.
2. Items advertised to ship within 7 days have not been shipped after 3 weeks and will not ship for another 3 or 4 weeks, if the information I finally received is correct.
3. No attempt to communicate with me about the delay in shipping.
4. No response to emails, when a response within 24 hours was promised.
5. Questionable 30 day guarantee.
I will not buy from this dealer again, and would not trust anything stated on the site. I hope this account of my experience will serve to warn others of the risk involved in doing business with this company.
