Improperly cleaned wool may cause permanent damage. This video shows the importance of using WoolSafe® Approved products.
What’s the Takeaway of the Video?
Wool is expensive and deserves the finest care. Wool carpets and wool area rugs age gracefully, developing their unique character. Wool broadloom accounts for less than one percent of the fibre used to make carpets. Yet, for many, it is considered the premier fibre for high-quality floor coverings. Wool carpet is durable and inherently resilient, making it a long-lasting option. Wool carpet is also the natural choice for those who value style, quality, indoor air quality (wool is naturally low-VOC carpet) and sustainability.
As shown in the video, wool needs proper cleaning to avoid damaging the natural protective membrane. Improper cleaning reduces longevity and natural stain resistance.
While we love wool, we do not recommend wool carpets if you have untrained dogs. Pet accidents can permanently bleach or discolour wool. Also, many cleaning products for pet stains use enzymes and strong oxidizers that can damage the wool, making pet stain removal challenging.
