Textured Wool Carpet Provides Long Lasting Soft Comfort

One of the most widely used carpet fibers in the world is wool, making textured wool carpet a material of choice to provide luxurious softness and comfort.  Wool carpet may be more expensive than other materials, but can last up to five decades with proper care.  Carpets made of wool are environmentally friendly, produced of natural fibers that are fully recyclable, and provide many benefits over synthetic fibers to those suffering with allergies.

Wool Carpet Benefits

There are many benefits to choosing textured wool carpet over other fiber types, making wool a desirable choice for many applications.  Some benefits of wool fiber carpets include:

• Less irritation to allergy sufferers: wool is proven to provide less irritation to those suffering with allergy or breathing problems, as the fibers absorb suspended dust particles making them less likely to enter the lungs. Dust particles will remain on the surface where they are easily removed with vacuuming.  
• Long lasting shape retention: textured wool carpets will retain their shape and appearance for several decades as the fibers are coated with a thin membrane which prevents any dampness from seeping into the carpet.  
• Unparalleled softness of wool: wool carpet can be more costly than other synthetic fibers, although the fluffy, bouncy texture of wool carpets provides value with unparalleled softness that stands the test of time.

Wool Carpet Prices are More Affordable than Ever

Wool Carpet Prices are More Affordable than Ever

Ever since its introduction over 2,000 years ago, wool carpet has always commanded a premium from manufacturers because of its durability and its natural beauty. Wool carpet is still somewhat pricey compared to the synthetic alternatives, but it is well worth the money for those homeowners willing to make the investment.

It is long-lived – Somewhat surprisingly, natural wool carpeting is a remarkably durable product. In fact, if properly maintained, it can have a useful and attractive lifespan for up to three decades – longer than most people ever live in a particular house. In other words, a great investment.

It is easy to clean – Like most everything else, it is best to be proactive when cleaning a wool rug, but it is still fairly easy to do so. Clean up spills immediately, and then use a diluted vinegar mixture to remove any staining. The carpet should also be vacuumed on a weekly basis to avoid physical wear and tear. The result is smaller cleaning bills in the long run.

It is hypoallergenic – Wool is naturally hypoallergenic. In addition, it resists the infestation of dust mites, and the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. These facts all add up to fewer sick days and fewer doctor's bills. Not only will you be healthier but so will your bank account.
