Ok, i have 3 lovely thick 100%wool rugs but they could do with a clean, what do you reckon would be the best way to do it. I have a vax carpet cleaner and organic solution for using in it, but would that damage the rug? i also have a steam cleaner but i have heard that the steam will damage the wool it's self. Any idea's gratefully accepted  |

I'd get a professional in to do jobs on valued pieces  |

Are they flat rugs? or fluffy/**** pile type? Our Vax (an upright one) pulls clumps out of **** pile so i end up hand washing  . |

Any idea's gratefully accepted What about a sheep dip Rosie?  Not really an expert on this but if not stained then why not the old method of hanging over a line and using a carpet beater? Is there a label on the back which would give you any idea? |

I tend to agree with Louise. I think there are powder cleaners on the market, but don't know how effective they are..
