I have a wool rug that I left in my garage for many years. Because of that it has developed a musty smell from the humidity. It doesn’t have mildew, just a funky smell. What can I do to get rid of it? Thanks.

It’s a wook rug from India. Got it at Pottery Barn 3 years ago. It’s always had an odor. I figured it would air out eventually, but it has not. It smells like a wet dog.

Erika asked:

I purchased a beautiful wool rug last summer to put over my laminate flooring. It sheds like crazy, and we constantly have large tufts of wool floating about on the rest of the floor. Is there something I can do to stop the shedding? If not, will it eventually stop at some point? I’m starting to believe I purchased a 5×7 mistake!!

My boyfriend and I just purchased a persian rug on ebay only to learn it’s polypropylene not wool. Is there a difference in the material? If so, what can we expect this rug to be like? Will it be soft? Thank you!

How do I repair pulled loops on a wool rug?

e428 asked:


My cat kneads the wool rug runner and has pulled loops up. The loops are not broken, but I know they shouldn’t be cut. On a wool sweater, a knitting needle can be used to push the pulled loops to the other side, but the rug is more densely woven with a mesh backing. How do I push the loops back through? Or is there an alternative to repairing this? Thanks!
