Wool rugs are classic and have added warmth and visual appeal to spaces for more than five thousand years. While there are many reasons a wool area rug is a smart choice and wise investment, here are the top 10:
Sustainable
Coming from shorn sheep, wool is a natural animal product, making it biodegradable and therefore sustainable and eco-friendly.
Hypoallergenic
Wool fibers hold dust and other unwanted particles, resulting in fewer fungal spores in the air. What's more, because wool is naturally resistant to bacteria, dust, mites, and mildew growth, wool rugs help improve air quality in your space.
Moisture-absorbent
Wool can absorb up to an impressive thirty percent of its weight before feeling damp, helping to regulate your room's humidity levels.
Temperature-regulating
Because wool is a natural insulator, a wool rug helps to keep a room cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Flame-resistant
Wool rugs are naturally flame-resistant, making them a safer choice than rugs made from most synthetic fibers.
Sound-absorbing
The texture of wool rugs helps them to absorb sound, thereby reducing noise in your space.
Stain-resistant
Lanolin, the natural oil found in wool fibers, not only contributes to the underfoot softness of wool area rugs but also naturally protects them from dirt and stains.
Easy to clean
Due to their natural stain-resistance wool area rugs rarely need to be completely cleaned. Instead, it's recommended that you simply spot clean dirt and stains regularly.
Long-lasting color
Wool fibers naturally absorb and maintain dyes, keeping wool rugs looking vibrant over a long period of time.
Softness, comfort, and durability
Okay, that's three, but they're all worth including. Wool fibers naturally offer a soft texture underfoot, while also being extremely durable, so you can enjoy your wool rug for years and years to come.
