Can you hose down a wool rug?

Hosing down a wool rug is generally not recommended, as excessive water can damage the fibers and lead to shrinkage or warping. Instead, it's better to spot clean with a damp cloth or use a gentle carpet cleaner specifically designed for wool. If deep cleaning is necessary, consider professional cleaning services that specialize in wool rugs to avoid potential damage. Always check the manufacturer's care instructions before attempting any cleaning method.
