Step 8 · Final Vacuuming and Grooming

After the rug has fully dried, perform a final vacuuming. This helps to lift and re-align the wool fibers, restoring the rug's natural loft and appearance. Use the vacuum on a gentle setting, moving in the direction of the pile. For areas that may have become matted or uneven, you can gently groom the pile with a soft brush or a carpet rake designed for wool. This final step ensures the rug looks its best and feels soft underfoot.
