Are Safavieh Wool Rugs made of good quality wool?
Safavieh Rugs is one of the market-leading producer and retailer of everyday rugs, and this includes among others wool rugs. Wool is a traditional fabric for rugs, and wool rugs usually represent a higher, premium quality within the category of rugs. With that said, wool rugs is an extremely broad category, that includes the finest, exquisite, hand-knotted antique, and oriental rugs, as well as the more down-to-earth versions of hand-tufted and hand-hooked wool rugs. Safavieh, as one of the most trusted names on the market uses high-quality wool to produce its rugs, so you can rest assured that you get great value for your money.
Is 100% wool good for a rug?
Wool is one of the most popular raw material for producing rugs, and by far the most popular when it comes to natural fibers. Of course, this is for a good reason: wool is a great raw material for rugs. In fact, we have published a very detailed post on all the pros and cons of wool rugs, but the bottom line is this: you can’t go wrong with a wool rug, be it a 100% wool rug or a blend, where the wool is mixed with other materials to optimize its characteristics.
Shall I vacuum my wool rugs?
The answer is a sound yes. When it comes to the maintenance of wool rugs, regular cleaning, and particularly regular vacuuming is of essence. This is because the dust particles that get stuck among the piles of the wool rug without a proper vacuuming will eventually damage the fibers of the rug, which is something you want to avoid, if you are to enjoy your wool rug for years and decades to come.
How often should you clean a wool rug?
Keeping your wool rug clean is extremely important to ensure the rug’s longevity. When it comes to cleaning your rugs, it’s practical to think about it in three different layers. You will want to regularly vacuum your rug. While the actual time might vary, a good rule of thumb is to vacuum your wool rug weekly. Then there’s spot cleaning: if a spill or an accident happens, you will have to spot clean the rug immediately, or if it’s not possible, the sooner the better. Finally you will want to give your rug a professional cleaning every once in a while, which can mean anything between twice a year or once every two years, depending on the use. This is particularly important if you have a traditional, oriental rug: check out our guide on oriental rug cleaning!
