HOW DO YOU CLEAN A PURE WOOL RUG?

I have a pleasing beige nap carpet in my loll which desperately needs a clean. Can we do it myself or does it need dilettante cleaning? If we can do it myself what`s a most appropriate cleaning products for it as well as a most appropriate approach to do it? Many interjection in advance.

    I have a huge pure wool rug which is all tufty, lumpy and shaggy and if it’s like mine then as it’s not a flat surface a carpet cleaner, steamer or shampoo wouldn’t be any use on such an irregular surface, besides, doing so would shrink it and you’d be left with a carpet for a kids play house! You can either hire a professional or attempt it yourself using a damp towel and either woolite, or - as it’s real, natural hair - regular hair or pet shampoo and then blot with a towel and dry as thoroughly as possible, afterwards open the windows and spray the rug liberally with sillicon spray, it’s colourless and will make the rug water and dirt repellant, i did this with mine as soon as i got it home but as yours is dirty you will need to be cleaned first…good luck!
