I have a beautiful lavender kilim style rug in my KITCHEN and it still looks new. Even after 10 years. Wool is naturally resistant to dirt and stains. I do have wood floors with house on a crawl space so no moisture problems.
I love wool rugs!

I'll buy wool shearly for the puns alone.

I love wool carpet. My grandparents had wool for 45 yrs I believe, if not then 30. It never wore down. Ugly color being they put it in in the 40s or 50s. I remember the upstairs wool carpet, it became a little faded but it was a light pink with silverish looking ribbon throughout and random flowers also. Ihave always wanted it wall to wall. After you mentioning the mold and moisture problem due to lack of circulation from concrete foundation, I have to say no now. Ugh. Our back room has the mold smell when we’ve had a lot of rain but dissipates quickly. I’m not taking the chance.

I don't sell to much wool, mostly because its out of the price range of the majority of my clients.

A common misconception that wool is not that stain resistant.

It actually is, its naturally hydrophobic.

I normally tell people, "Wool doesn't like to stain, but when it does accept it, it doesn't like to let it go."

But if you do a good job at taking care of it, a wool will last for decades.

Great video.

Love the info (And all the Sheep puns!). I had 100% wool carpet installed in my home about four months ago. I’m interested to know what natural methods you suggest to spot clean any small scuff/light dirt marks I’ve recently noticed. 🐑

Again Robert, you answered questions we didn't think to ask, didn't know enough to ask.
You are a very good teacher. You start with an outline, give the data, then a summary.
Thank You !!

If wool can get mold if damp, how do you clean wall to wall wool carpet? Wouldn’t steam cleaning leave it damp?

[MyLifeRefining]

Thank you for this very helpful informational presentation on wool carpeting!

[abirtoop]

What padding should we use with wool carpet?

[dannydepasquale]

What carpet is the easiest to clean. Regular soil from light traffic in one room with maybe a rare pet stain here or there. Nylon? Wool? SmartStrand? I want a very dense plush white carpet.

Hey Robert, do you have any opinion on the use of protectant sprays on a wool carpet? I've read many can discolor wool fibers so for now i am just tackling cat hairballs with my Bissel Little Green Hydeosteam as soon as possible.

Thank you for the info! Question tho...I just unrolled my new wool rug, but it has a smell, like a barn. How do I keep the smell away? 🤗

[mardiwarner]

I think I just ruined my wool rug. I flooded it with the hose and now it’s going to rain and no place to put it under a roof. What is best way to dry this rug in January?

[Maplecook]

That's (See what I did there?) haha

[kinesis]

"Don't abandon sheep" hah!

[abirtoop]

Can you use central vac regular brush to clean?

[cholodude]

Appreciate the information but just over 10 minutes? Automatic dislike.
