Easy to Clean
Wool’s natural resistance to dirt and soiling make is very easy to maintain. It is a non-allergenic fiber and it does not promote the growth of bacteria or dust mites or give off harmful emissions making it safe for you and your family.
While treated carpets can do a good job of resisting liquid stains, nylon and other fibers tend to attract oils. Wool fibers however, naturally repel oils commonly tracked in from asphalt, garages, cooking agents, and they are even on our skin. Wool repels these oils, helping it maintain its clean appearance. Here is a guide to cleaning carpets.
Strong and Durable
Karastan creates products that last using patented woven technology to make wool products that are durable and strong. Wool is naturally very resilient, which means it keeps it shape. Most carpets wear down and flatten over time—which is one of the first hings that makes a carpet look like it needs to be replaced—wool bounces back. Wool has a natural crimp which gives it built-in crush resistance! Dents from furniture disappear easily when gently moistened and left to recover naturally.
Comfortable
Natural bulk and pliability give Karastan wool great sound and heat insulation. Wool and polyester are the go-to carpets for comfort is the highest priority. Wool is unique because it combines softness with springiness. Where many soft carpets crush easily, wool carpet maintains its comfort for years.
Fire Safe
Wool carpet is naturally fire resistant. Due to a higher ignition temperature, wool is difficult to ignite and has a low flame-spread, low heat release properties and low heat of combustion. Wool fibers do not melt—they form an insulating, cool char and self-extinguish. As a whole, wool contributes less to smoke or toxic gas formation compared to synthetic carpet pile fibers.
Environmentally Friendly
Karastan is an environmentally responsible company that consistently practices energy-efficient and safe manufacturing procedures that pair well with the natural sustainability of New Zealand wool.
Karastan is the largest processor of wool carpets and rugs in America as well as the largest user of New Zealand wool—the cleanest, whitest wool in the world.
