WOOL CARPET CLEANING? WE KNOW THE ART.
Wool is a beautiful natural fibre, but it demands expert knowledge when cleaning. The wrong temperature, pH or pressure can cause shrinkage, felting or discolouration. We clean your wool carpet with methods specifically developed for this delicate fibre.
Why wool carpets need extra care
Wool is a natural fibre with unique properties. It is self-restoring, stain-resistant and insulating, yet sensitive to heat, alkaline products and mechanical pressure. The wrong cleaning approach can cause irreversible damage.
- Wool shrinks at temperatures above 40 degrees — standard steam cleaning is too hot
- Alkaline cleaning agents damage the scale structure of wool fibres and cause felting
- Overly powerful extraction can stretch the fibres and distort the carpet structure
- Wool retains moisture longer than synthetic fibres, increasing mould risk with improper drying
- Colourfast dyes in wool can bleed at the wrong pH level
- Moth larvae and dust mites thrive in wool carpets that are not regularly professionally cleaned
When should you have your wool carpet professionally cleaned?
Regular vacuuming keeps your wool carpet superficially clean, but some situations call for professional cleaning.
What we remove from your wool carpet
How we clean your wool carpet
Safe wool cleaning in three steps
Fibre analysis and stain test
We determine the type of wool, the weaving technique and the condition of your carpet. We test colourfastness and check for sensitive areas. Based on this, we establish the correct pH level, temperature and cleaning method.
Low-temperature deep cleaning
We clean your carpet with pH-neutral, wool-specific products at a temperature below 30 degrees. Our gentle injection-extraction method removes dirt and allergens from the depths without stressing the fibres. Stains are treated separately with wool-safe stain removers.
Controlled drying and finishing
We ensure fast, controlled drying to prevent shrinkage and mould. After drying, we brush the pile for an even, soft finish. Your carpet feels like new again, without any form of damage.
Why professional cleaning is essential for wool
What to expect after your wool carpet cleaning
Why wool requires a specific cleaning approach
Wool fibres have a scale structure that felts when exposed to heat, alkaline products or excessive mechanical pressure. Once felted, this is irreversible — the carpet becomes stiff, shrinks and loses its soft appearance. That is why we clean wool exclusively with a low pH (between 4.5 and 6.5), a water temperature below 30 degrees and a gentle extraction method that does not stress the fibres. This takes more time and expertise than standard carpet cleaning, but it is the only way to clean wool safely and thoroughly.
