Wool Carpets & Natural Fibres Does wool carpet burn?

Wool carpet is naturally flame resistant and self-extinguishing when the flame source is removed. If it does burn, wool tends to burn slowly with limited smoke and leaves grey ash. This makes wool a relatively safe option for homes. Under extreme conditions any fibre can burn, so maintain fire safety measures and avoid direct flames or heat near carpets. If you would like to see wool options, the Taren Point showroom can assist. Call 02 9526 6421.

Wool Carpets & Natural Fibres How easy is it to look after a wool carpet?

Wool carpets are relatively easy to maintain with regular vacuuming, professional cleaning every 12–18 months, and prompt spot cleaning for spills. Wool's natural lanolin can aid with some spill resistance, and wool fibres tend to resist odour and wear well with a suitable underlay. Avoid excessive moisture and direct sunlight to prolong life.
