Wool Rug Cleaning

Wool rugs are known for their durability, softness, and natural beauty - but they also absorb dirt, hold moisture, and trap odors more easily than synthetic fibers. Cleaning wool requires specialized knowledge and fiber-safe techniques to avoid shrinkage, color bleeding, or texture damage.

That’s why The Steam Team provides professional wool rug cleaning in Austin, TX, offering advanced, gentle cleaning methods designed specifically for natural wool fibers.

Your wool rug deserves expert attention - we deliver exceptional, safe results every time.

Our Wool Rug Cleaning Process

Designed Specifically for the Needs of Natural Wool Fibers

1️⃣ Inspection & Fiber Analysis
We assess your rug’s fiber structure, density, dyes, and overall condition.

2️⃣ Pre-Cleaning Dust Removal
Wool traps large amounts of dry soil - our dusting system removes debris deep in the pile.

3️⃣ Spot & Stain Pre-Treatment
Includes gentle cleaning agents specially formulated for wool’s natural oils (lanolin).

4️⃣ Wool-Safe Washing Method
Depending on the rug type, we use:

• Hand-washing

• Submersion bath cleaning

• Controlled low-moisture cleaning

All methods use wool-safe, pH-balanced shampoos to protect fibers.

5️⃣ Rinse & Water Extraction
Ensures no residue is left behind, helping maintain wool’s softness and texture.

6️⃣ Climate-Controlled Drying
Prevents shrinkage and preserves the rug’s structure.

7️⃣ Finishing & Grooming
Fibers are brushed and fluffed to restore natural texture and beauty.
