Wool Carpet FAQS
Wool carpet is a long-term investment, so we’ve put these handy tips and facts all in one place to help you make the best flooring decision for you and your family.
Is wool carpet difficult to clean and maintain?
The simple answer is no. Bremworth wool carpets are easy to clean and maintain because our yarns have been expertly constructed to achieve high performance and the fibre is naturally soil and stain resistant. You can keep your carpet looking its best by vacuuming regularly, particularly in high traffic areas such as hallways, entrance ways and living rooms. We do however, recommend you use a plain flat suction head and avoid the use of revolving vacuum heads.
Rest assured Bremworth offers a Lifetime Food and Beverage Stain Resistance Limited Warranty*and Lifetime Soil Resistance Limited Warranty*.
Refer to Bremworth’s handy stain guide to check how best to deal to specific stains.
Is wool carpet suitable for pets?
The softness of wool carpet can be enjoyed both underfoot and under-paw. Along with natural stain resistant properties, wool also naturally repels odours. In a study done with pets by AgResearch, wool carpet outperformed Nylon and Triexta carpet in a three month experiment [1] as wool was significantly less smelly. If your pet tends to scratch, simply opt for a cut pile over a loop pile carpet or rug.
Is wool carpet allergy/asthma friendly?
Wool carpet is naturally hypoallergenic which means it is unlikely to cause an allergic reaction.
Is carpet beetle/moth an issue?
The short answer is not for Bremworth. We apply an insect resist agent, and offer a 15-year insect resistance warranty*.
Is fading an issue?
As with most textiles, fading may happen, particularly if a product is exposed to intense sunlight for prolonged periods of time. Window furnishings and/or glass with UV protection is recommended for these areas.
