Wool Carpet

My 4 yr old accidently peed on the wool carpet in his room. How do I remove the stain after it already dried?

I know..gross...but the rug is light beige and the stain that I thought I cleaned has reappeared. I just used bissel carpet cleaner and thought I had gotten it out but this morning it was still there. What do I use to get the spot out without ruining the carpet???

Your stain reappeared because the urine seeped into the padding below and now it has been "walked" up to the surface. In order to neutralize the stain, you will have to flood the area again with a solution of white vinegar and water in a 2:1 ratio. Place a thick terry towel over the area afterward and literally hop on it which will draw the liquid to the surface taking with it the urine. Padding is like a sponge that soaks up liquids the bacteria in the urine will continue to walk up to the surface and attract airborne dust and dirt from shoes. Vinegar will neutralize that bacteria. You can then use your Bissell carpet cleaner or a wet dry vac to suck up the excess liquid after you hop it to the surface. Also, if you notice a strong urine smell after the area dries, sprinkle 20 Mule Team Borax on the surface and let it sit for a few hours then vacuum it up. Borax eliminates urine odor.

Get Yourself the Finest Wool Carpet in the Market

You always think of your flooring as a form of investment. You hope that it will grow old together with your home. You wish that it will last for several years, because, truthfully, floors don't come cheap.

The same thing can be said about wool carpets, which are considered to be one of the best types of carpets that you can find in the market. They have better tolerance to moisture and soil, and they are friendly to the environment, since sheep can reproduce them all throughout their lifetime.

However, there's a stark difference between buying a cheap and high-quality one. Surely, you would not mind shelling few extra hundred dollars when you know that the wool carpet can be of great use for more than 25 years.

How to Select Your Wool Carpet

When you're looking for a wool carpet, make sure that you don't make any mistake. Here are some things you can consider when buying one:

1. Know which room you're going to use it. There are a lot of reasons why you should consider the place where you're going to add the wool carpet. First, size matters. For example, if you're going to place it in your living room, you want something that is not too large that it basically occupies the entire space, but you may want to have a huge one in your bedroom to add more warmth and coziness. Sometimes the pattern and style of the wool carpet will also depend on its location too. You definitely like to pick more beautifully colored ones for your living room than in your bedroom, since there will be more people who are going to stay there.

2. Determine how often and how you're going to use the wool carpet. Some wool carpets are excellent with high traffic while others are not. There are also a number of them that will change their colors once they get exposed in sunlight. These things should also be considered as they can help in prolonging the life of your carpet. Keep in mind that carpets are not just meant for decorations. You add them there because they also serve specific functions.

3. Stick with the lighter-colored wool carpets for space. Just because you don't have a lot of space in your home or office, you need to forego the use of wool carpets. They can still be of use, but you may have to compensate their size with their color. If you lack space, for instance, you can resort to those with lighter tones since they give an illusion of more space. If you want to make a statement, though, go for the ones with bolder hues.

4. Match the wool carpet with the theme of your home. There are plenty of designs that you can choose from for your wool carpets, but you can always narrow down your choices by looking at your existing furniture and fixture. To establish coherence or consistency in design, you may want to choose a wool carpet that complements the entire interior decoration of your home.
