Along with sentimental value and family history, antique wool rugs have many natural benefits that contribute to their durability and quality. Antique rugs are often spun out of high quality corkwool to create extremely durable strands. Sheep produce lanolin, a naturally occurring oil that coats the wool, protects the fibers and repels dirt and stains. Antique rugs made of wool are also highly regarded for fire resistance and keeping their shape over time.
Although these rugs possess many qualities that make them naturally resistant to staining and wear, it is still vital to ensure that they are properly cleaned so that their beautiful color and structural integrity are preserved. It is also important that the natural barrier created by the lanolin remains intact. Many at-home cleaning guides on the internet are too harsh and can jeopardize the integrity of the wool fibers and lanolin coating, leaving the rug more susceptible to damage in the future. Additionally, these DIY solutions will not take into account the specific fabrication of your rug, and a one-size-fits-all approach will often fail. Considering the incalculable value of antique and heirloom rugs to their owners, it is best to refer to professionals for proper cleaning and maintenance.
