Cleaning supplies should be used exceptionally
If you have a coffee stain to remove, you may use a soft shampoo or a special wool product by diluting it five times in warm water.
Don’t wash the whole carpet. Do it only for the stained portion. Perform soft and steady motion as if you’re washing a baby’s hair.
And please, do not use a colored rag. Favor your own hands that will massage the wool softly. Then flush it with plenty of cold water.
Another tip for localized stains, sprinkle some baking soda over the stained surface, and remove it later with a vacuum. This will leave your carpet in like-new condition.
Air dry your Moroccan rug
To dry a washed Moroccan rug, it would be wise to not directly expose the wool to the sun. Flip the rug and place in a clean surface in open air (in your backyard, your balcony or a window’s edge).
If the stain persists, do the same few days later. If the stain is really obstinate, call a professional wool carpet cleaner.
