Tips for Cleaning Wool Carpets and Removing Stains from Furniture.

Keeping carpets and furniture clean is important to maintain a healthy home environment. However, using harsh chemicals can cause damage to the fibers and colors of carpets and upholstery. Here are some natural and effective cleaning methods for wool carpets and furniture:

Cleaning Wool Carpets:

1. Let the dust fall naturally: Instead of vacuuming, turn the carpet upside down and step on it to let gravity naturally pull the dust to the ground. Leave it like this for 2-3 days and use wedges to lift the carpet and separate the wool from the ground.
2. Marseille soap and wool product: For stains like coffee, sauce, or chocolate, sponge the stain and then use Marseille soap or a special wool carpet cleaning product. Use gentle and regular movements to avoid damaging the carpet. Dry the carpet in the sun after cleaning.
3. White vinegar and lukewarm water: For stubborn stains, use a mixture of white vinegar and lukewarm water to detach the carpet. You can also use natural clay like Sommières earth, which has excellent stain-removing power.
4. Baking soda and sparkling water: For tougher stains, use sparkling water and gently rub with a sponge. After 30 minutes, sprinkle baking soda on the stain and let it dry before vacuuming. Baking soda is an effective product for cleaning wool carpets.
5. Avoid using detergents unless necessary, and always test the product on a discreet part of the carpet before proceeding with complete cleaning. Stain removal can often leave a halo on the carpet, which may require a full cleaning.

Cleaning Furniture:

1. Blot up as much of the stain as possible with a paper towel or cloth.
2. Mix 1 tablespoon of dish soap and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar with 2 cups of warm water.
3. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and wring it out well.
4. Gently dab the cloth onto the stain, working from the outside in to avoid spreading the stain further.
5. Continue dabbing until the stain is gone or no longer transferring to the cloth.
6. Rinse the cloth with clean water and dab the area again to remove any soapy residue.
7. Blot the area with a dry cloth or paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
8. Let the area air dry completely.

For Carpets:

1. Blot up as much of the stain as possible with a paper towel or cloth.
2. Mix 1/2 cup of white vinegar with 1/2 cup of warm water.
3. Pour the solution onto the stain and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
4. Blot the area with a clean cloth, working from the outside in to avoid spreading the stain further.
5. Continue blotting until the stain is gone or no longer transferring to the cloth.
6. Rinse the area with clean water and blot again to remove any soapy residue.
7. Blot the area with a dry cloth or paper towel to remove any excess moisture.
8. Let the area air dry completely.

Note: For tough stains or odors, you may need to repeat the cleaning process or use a specialized cleaner. It’s also a good idea to test any cleaning solution on a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it won’t damage the furniture or carpet.
