How to Clean a Wool Carpet Yourself?

You can use a carpet cleaning shampoo or solution to clean your carpet. But if you want to clean it at home with easily available items, here is how to do it:

• Prepare the cleaning solution: Mix 1 teaspoon of wool detergent and 1 teaspoon of white vinegar in a bucket of warm water. This solution will safely clean your wool carpet without damaging the fibres.

• Apply the solution: Dampen a cloth in the mixture and gently rub the stained area. Please avoid scrubbing too hard; just a light touch will do to lift the stain without harming the wool.

• Remove the cleaner: After treating the stain, use a damp sponge to wipe away the detergent solution. Make sure to remove all traces of the cleaner.

• Dry the area: Blot up excess moisture using a dry paper towel. You can press firmly to soak up as much water as possible.

• Let it dry completely: Allow the area to air dry for several hours. Be patient and resist stepping on it until it’s fully dry.

So this is how do I clean a wool carpet and I am sure you will be happy with the result. ;)
