Features Of A Wool Carpet
Wool Carpet Lasts Longer
Wool carpet reputedly lasts longer than other carpets that have been made from synthetic fibers. The fact that it lasts longer than your average synthetic rug or carpet is one point which makes the wool carpet better than most. The reason why it lasts longer than those carpets which care manufactured with synthetic fibers is that the natural fiber from the sheep is usually more pliable and less susceptible to wear and tear. Instead, the wool can develop a natural patina which is particular to wool carpets. This means that an older carpet made from wool can look better than a new carpet made from synthetic fibers or materials.
Resistance
Wool carpet has the ability to resist water which is a serious advantage because many stains and marks on carpets are due to water marks. This natural ability of wool to resist water does not however mean that it is water proof. Water can be resisted as long as it is cleaned up in a matter of minutes compared to the wool carpet being soaked or steeped in water due to flooding.
This kind of carpet can also resist static electricity, which means less shock for you and your family who may like to go barefoot on the carpet. Other than being resistant to static electricity, wool carpets are also flame resistant (due mainly to the natural protein in sheep's wool). Natural wool carpets do not catch fire easily and are usually self extinguishable when they do finally catch fire.
The wool is also genetically formed in such a way that they do not catch dust or dirt easily. This means that a wool carpet usually has dust on the top instead dof the dust settling down. This makes it easier to vacuum.
Old or new carpets made from wool retain these features which makes them ideal as hearth rugs. They are not as great as cotton fibers when it comes to absorbing water which is essential for bathroom rugs, though. The features that these kind sof carpets have make them a good investment.
