What is the best way to clean wool rugs with urine stains
RE: Wool rugs - Lounge Lizards - 10-03-2014
In a soak tank by someone trained in the cleaning and care of Oriental rugs.
There are many precautions to be checked prior to dumping into the tank as there are after the rug is removed, that many carpet cleaners would not be aware of, especially with wool.
In a previous life, I cleaned many rugs, even with my faithful Big Yella, soaking urine infested rugs in an appropriate solution of acetic acid back then.
After soaking, agitation, rinsing, rinsing & even some more rinsing, they were extracted & hoisted up onto my tower for assisted drying.
Some were even dried flat, some also upside down.
Then they were groomed, inspected, wrapped and delivered.
Last year I sold all of my gear off so I can't clean rugs anymore.
That's my excuse & I'm sticking to it.
Do you know how heavy a 10' x 8' wool rug weighs when soaking wet?????
Pretty heavy for an elder person.
