  • In 2011, we made a simple video that displayed the steps that we take in properly cleaning wool area rugs. Fast forward 5 years, and we have created a video that highlights the same process but also provides a written step-by-step guide to follow.
    Please drop off your Fine Wool Area Rugs to be cleaned at our Specialise
    The steps to properly cleaning fine wool area rugs include:
    1. Unroll Area Rug for Inspection.
    2. Thoroughly Pre-Vacuum Face Fibers of Carpeting to Remove Soiling.
    3. Turn Area Rug Over "Face-Down".
    4. Dust/"Beat" Area Rug to Remove Excess Soiling.
    5. Transfer to Wash Pit and Pre-Condition.
    6. Fill Wash Pit with Fresh Water.
    7. Agitation and Suspension of Particulates with Counter Rotational Rotary Scrubbing Device.
    8. Drain Dirty Water and Remove Excess Water from Area Rug.
    9. Fresh Water Rinse.
    10. Drain Water and Remove Excess Water from Area Rug.
    11. Power-Vacuum Extraction of All Moisture from Rug.
    12. Transfer Rug to Cleaning Area. Power Rinse and Extract Backing of Area Rug.
    13. Turn Area Rug "Face Up", Power Rinse, and Extract Surface/Face of Area Rug.
    14. Fringe Cleaning.
    15. Dry Face Down on Clean Floor with Power Fans Directing Air Beneath Area Rug Allowing Area Rug to "Float".
    16. Post-Cleaning Inspection.
    17. (Contingent Upon Passing All Previous Steps) Wrap in Craft Paper
    18. Deliver to Client.
    These steps ensure the rug is cleaned properly, thus preventing any damage from occurring. For more information on Wool Area Rugs, Cleaning, and Enviroclean of Illinois, please visit healthycarpetcl....

    I am doing some spring cleaning and decided to change out my area carpets (I store the spring/summer carpets under our bed). I wanted to clean one of the carpets so I referred to CZcams and long and behold I too spent way too much time watching these videos. But the best part of this video is reading the comments left but my fellow brethren. I laughed and laughed. Thanks people. Is this a great country or what?

    Thanks so much for showing me how to clean my rug at home. I went out and bought all the supplies in this video, and rented a warehouse space for the weekend and it only cost about $6000! I didn't know where to find a Jehovah Witness to clean it for me but I think I did OK.

    Great vid. I just cleaned our wool rug nearly the same way. Soaking and squeegee several times is really 90% of the finish work. Wool rugs absorb so much dirt you have to soak press out all the build-up of grime. It's actually quite gross how much dirt comes out. Then drying...what a pain. More squeezy and hitting it with strong fans is necessary. I like how you guys use turbo fans to run air underneath. That's a much better process that flipping the rug over. Even mildly damp wool rugs are very heavy and hard to turn.
