Help! Cleaning a woolen rug!

2 replies

Justhavingatidy · 24/08/2025 11:03

I’ve just knocked a freshly watered potted plant over onto my new yellow, cream, and light grey woolen rug. I’ve used towels to pat up the water and picked up all of the larger chunks of soil but there’s still tiny bits of dark soil and sand in the rug. I’ve tried the hoover and giving it a good shake but theyre almost embedded in. Any ideas? Rug is slightly damp, perhaps once it’s dry they’ll lift out a bit better if I hoover again?

literally a brand new rug, can’t believ how clumsy I am 😭

I’d let it dry snd then try using just hoover hose for maximum suction. I am also clumsy. I have a shark mini carpet cleaner which is fab and saved me from many knocked over stuff stains. It’s suction is incredibly strong so I’m sure it’d get out sand/ soil.

Thank you! I was able to use one of the attachment hoses to get up the hidden bits, worked a treat! Now to move the potted plants elsewhere…
