This homeowner in the Gilcrease Hills neighborhood of Tulsa reached out because they were worried about their wool rug. It had been in the home for years and was starting to look tired. Traffic soil had dulled the colors, and there were a few spots that made the rug look older than it really was. What stopped them from calling sooner was fear. Wool is not forgiving, and they did not want to risk damage.

They told me straight up they had read too many horror stories online about wool rugs shrinking, bleeding, or getting ruined by improper cleaning. That hesitation made sense.

#1 TULSA RUG CLEANERS

Why Wool Rugs Make Homeowners Nervous

Wool rugs are an investment. They are natural fiber, highly absorbent, and sensitive to heat, agitation, and chemistry. Treat them like synthetic rugs and problems happen fast. Colors can bleed. Fibers can distort. The rug can lose its texture or feel stiff once it dries.

This rug was still in good condition structurally. The issue was soil buildup, not damage.

That distinction matters when deciding how to clean it.

A Homeowner Who Did Their Research

Before calling Two Sheas Restoration, the homeowner spent time reading reviews and looking at past projects. What stood out to them was how often people mentioned careful handling and honest explanations. They wanted someone who understood rugs, not just carpet.

They were especially concerned about keeping the rug in their home rather than sending it off somewhere unknown.

Inspecting the Wool Rug First

Before any cleaning started, I inspected the rug closely. I checked the fibers, the backing, and the dyes to make sure everything was stable. Wool rugs need a measured approach. Rushing is how mistakes are made.

Once I confirmed the rug could be cleaned safely, I explained the process and what results were realistic. Setting expectations is part of doing the job right.

Cleaning Wool Without Overworking It

Wool holds soil deep in the fibers, but it does not need aggressive treatment to release it. The key is using the right amount of moisture, gentle agitation, and thorough extraction. Too much water or heat would do more harm than good.

As the cleaning progressed, the colors started to come back. The rug did not look stripped or faded. It looked refreshed, which is always the goal with wool.

Drying Matters Just as Much as Cleaning

With wool rugs, drying is critical. If they stay damp too long, odors and texture issues can develop. I made sure the rug dried evenly and completely so it would feel soft and natural underfoot again.

This step is often overlooked, but it makes a big difference in the final result.

The Result That Surprised the Homeowner

Once the rug was fully dry, the homeowner was genuinely surprised. The colors looked brighter. The rug felt cleaner but not stiff. The spots that had been bothering them were no longer noticeable.

They said they did not realize how much life was still left in the rug. That reaction is exactly why proper wool rug cleaning matters.
