Keeping stains out of fabrics can be a downright maddening process. But today, your friends at Rug Source are coming to you with some good news: wool is naturally resistant to stains and wear! Today’s blog post will delve into the science of wool so you can understand why it’s a fantastic choice for any home.
Sound too good to be true? Read on to get the details!
Naturally Stain-Resistant
One of the exciting details of wool is that it absorbs a lot of liquid. Some studies have shown that wool can take in up to a third of its size in water.
At first, This might make you think it is a bad thing. If you spilled a red liquid on a wool rug, wouldn’t the extra absorption hold the stain?
As it turns out, this isn’t the case. Instead, wool has a “waxy”-like coating. Have you ever had someone mention the importance of a stain guard on a brand-new couch? It’s the same idea. They apply a layer of protection at the fiber level that keeps stains at bay.
Wool naturally has this protection. That means that wool is a great way to accomplish that goal if you’re trying to keep artificial chemicals out of your home.
Naturally Long-Lasting
Another great aspect of wool rugs is that they’re incredibly durable. This means that buying a handmade wool rug is not just a temporary purchase. Instead, it’s something that will last for years to come because of the material’s inherent reliability and durability.
The wool is especially durable in some areas of the world, such as Turkey. This is because, in this particular style of rug, the sheep that the wool is sheared from drink iron-rich water. This makes the fibers even stronger and great for any home.
Naturally Sturdy
Taking that further, have you ever noticed how some fibers tend to flatten over time? This is a natural process, a wearing down that traditionally can’t be avoided.
There is an exception: wool! That’s right, wool is a material that tends to hold its shape better and has a bounce-back property. This means it can withstand usage far better than other materials.
Naturally Comfortable
Last but not least, wool is comfortable. Very comfortable! Wool is an excellent choice for a high-traffic area or a general sitting area, providing unparalleled comfort wherever you use it in your home!
