Tulsa's oil-era antique collections include significant antique wool — handspun Persian, Caucasian, and Turkish pieces brought back from major buying trips a century ago. Antique wool has different properties than modern wool: longer staple, higher lanolin content originally, but often dried and brittle after decades. Our antique wool approach is conservative — gentle chemistry, careful handling, controlled drying. We have been cleaning antique wool in Tulsa since 1881.
Wool fibers contain natural lanolin — a protective oil that gives wool its soil resistance, water resistance, and characteristic feel. Standard alkaline carpet-cleaning chemistry strips lanolin permanently, dramatically shortening the rug's lifespan and dulling its appearance. Our wool method preserves lanolin: neutral or low-pH chemistry, cool-to-warm water (never hot), shortened wash cycles, controlled flat drying. The wool comes out cleaner than steam cleaning could ever achieve — and with its natural soil resistance fully intact.
Free pick-up across the Tulsa metropolitan area and Northeast Oklahoma. Most rugs are returned within 7 days from pick-up. We provide a written estimate before any work begins.
Specialist methods for every wool variety.
Different wools have different lanolin content, fiber length, and cleaning sensitivities.
Hand-spun Persian & Turkish
Traditional handspun wool used in fine oriental rugs. High lanolin content, irregular fiber length, often natural dyes.
Tibetan highland wool
Exceptionally high lanolin and long staple length. Common in modern hand-knotted Tibetan and Nepalese rugs.
New Zealand wool
Standard for modern hand-tufted designer rugs (Pottery Barn, RH, West Elm). Fine and consistent.
Merino
Soft, fine, premium wool used in higher-end modern rugs. Lower lanolin than handspun, requires careful cleaning.
Hand-tufted designer wool
Modern wool pile bonded to a backing with latex adhesive. Wash must protect the latex from over-saturation.
Machine-made wool
Karastan, Couristan, and similar — robust construction, generally tolerates wool-specific cleaning very well.

Common questions about wool rug cleaning in Tulsa.
Where in Tulsa do you offer wool rug pick-up?
Free pick-up throughout Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Bixby, Jenks, Sand Springs, Sapulpa, Bartlesville, and surrounding Northeast Oklahoma communities.
Why does wool rug cleaning need specialized methods?
Wool fibers contain natural lanolin that gives wool its soil resistance and characteristic feel. Standard alkaline carpet chemistry strips lanolin permanently, shortening the rug's lifespan.
Is antique wool more fragile than modern wool?
Often, yes. Decades of dryness, foot traffic, and previous improper cleaning can leave antique wool brittle. Our antique cleaning approach is more conservative than our standard wool method — gentler chemistry, slower handling, careful drying.
Can wool rugs be steam-cleaned at home?
We strongly recommend against home steam cleaning on any wool area rug. Hot water damages the lanolin, can cause shrinkage in untreated wool, and frequently triggers color run in dyed wool.
Will cleaning shrink my wool rug?
Properly performed professional cleaning will not shrink a wool rug. Shrinkage happens when wool is exposed to hot water, aggressive agitation, or improper drying — all common in steam cleaning.
