• Made of 100% natural raw materials.
• No harmful chemicals are used at any stage of manufacturing
• Used extensively by those suffering from chemical sensitivity and those concerned about the environment.
• 100% Pure wool - no dyes, pesticides, or stain protections are used. The application of these chemicals can greatly affect indoor air quality through the off gassing of volatile organic compounds. 
• Naturally pigmented wool fibers are used for coloration as opposed to any of the harsh dyes and chemical bonding agents other carpet manufacturers use
• All natural primary backing. Primary backing is made of a combination of hemp and cotton. Hemp is used for its durability, strength, and mold and mildew resistance. This is used instead of the traditional synthetic polypropylene primary. 
• Wool yarns are locked into place with a natural adhesive that is derived from the rubber tree. This further helps to lock the stitches in place and prevents slippage of the yarn. This adhesive is completely biodegradable and non-toxic as well.

Natural Wool Carpet (No Dyes) - Wall To Wall Carpet

Benefits/Advantages of our Wool Carpet

• Naturally stain resistant. Wool repels liquids, which is what most stains come from.
• Naturally flame resistant. Wool fibers will not ignite if exposed to flames and they self extinguish quickly.
• Better air quality. Our wool carpet does not contain any toxic chemicals. The fibers can also hold dust particles until they have been vacuumed, which results in less dust in the air. Wool carpet can help purify the air by absorbing pollutants, according to a study by the Wool Research of New Zealand (WRONZ).
• Durable. Because of the natural resiliency of wool, wool carpets can hold their shape and fresh look longer than other types of carpet. When stretched or crushed, they bounce back to their original shape. Synthetic fibers lose their shape more quickly. Synthetic fibers flatten, wear in high-traffic areas, wear under furniture, or pill.
• Wool carpets are soft and luxurious.
• When properly taken care of, wool carpet can last for 50 years or more.
• Biodegradable. Can be used as mulch, recycled, etc.
• Earth friendly. Non-toxic.
• Can be used over radiant heating.

Proper Wool Carpet Care

• As with all quality natural fiber carpets, vacuuming with a suction only vacuum cleaner is recommended. Beater bar vacuum cleaners may damage the surface pile of the product. Therefore, you want to use a vacuum without the beater bar attachment. Proper vacuuming on a regular basis will increase performance.
• Use carpet cleaners designed for natural wool rugs.
• Keep the use of soaps to a minimum. Soaps can stay inside carpet after they have been cleaned. This can result in them getting quickly dirty again. This can actually be said for any carpet.
• Spills usually blot up, and regular vacuuming removes dry dirt efficiently. Use only a wool approved cleaner for removing stains. Do not vigorously rub the affected area. Lightly blot area instead. If stain persists, contact a professional cleaner and be sure they use cleaners designed for wool and natural fibers. Do not use water-based cleaners designed for synthetic carpets. The moisture from water-based cleaners for synthetic carpets can shrink the fibers and pull dirt back into them. Vacuuming removes dry dirt efficiently. Use only a wool approved cleaner for removing stains. Do not vigorously rub the affected area.
• Wool does well to professional carpet cleaning.

Wool vs. Synthetic Carpets - Special Considerations

• The initially cost more than some synthetic carpets. If taken care of properly, then can actually save money, considering they can last over 50 years.
• Wool can stain more easily than many synthetic carpets with chemical stain protections. Our wool carpets are free of these chemical treatments.

Stains

1. Quickly blot up the mess without rubbing. Apply clean cold water to the stain to dilute it and blot gently with a clean white cloth. Dissolve a small quantity of mild cleaner such as a gentle soap, or approved wool cleaner in a bowl of lukewarm water. Test for color-fastness by applying the solution to a small area in an inconspicuous part of the rug. 
2. Dampen the stained area, working from the outside edges of the stain in. Then blot gently with a clean white cloth, turning it so that you use a dry area each time. Avoid rubbing. If the stain persists, repeat this step.
3. Rinse and clean the area. Blot and fluff the pile until the area is dry to touch. 

Manufacture Warranty

These products carry a manufacturing defect warranty and is guaranteed to be free of manufacturing defects for a period of 5 years. Matting, crushing, soiling, staining or any other changes in appearance are not considered manufacturing defects and are excluded from this warranty. No warranty is made as to individual reactions, physical or otherwise, regarding the carpet and its effects.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• INSTALLATION: We recommend that the wall to wall carpets be installed by professional installers. For residential installations, installers will normally install the carpet by stretching it and using seam tape. For commercial installations, glue may be used.
  
  Prices do not include shipping charges or installation. Yarn lot variances occur in natural fiber carpets, therefore, actual merchandise is not guaranteed to match these samples. Natural fiber carpets vary in texture and color. Slight variances in texture and color are normal and do not constitute a manufacturing defect. Due to the natural content of the sample, specifications are subject to nominal manufacturing variances. Supply or manufacturing changes may facilitate product changes without notice. Meets or exceeds methenamine pill test requirements for carpet and area rugs.
   
• DELIVERIES: Deliveries of wall to wall carpet are by freight company. For residential deliveries, freight companies need to call ahead of time to set up a day and range of time for delivery. With residential addresses, if the freight company arrives without an appointment, you can tell them to come back after they schedule an appointment. Freight companies that deliver flooring do not normally take the carpet off the truck. If it a commercial address with a dock, they will back the truck up to the dock. If it is a residence, they will normally bring it to the curb. Sometimes, they will put it on your driveway or in your garage but it depends on the particular delivery person that delivers it. I'm sorry to say that we are not able to promise that this will happen because it depends entirely on the particular driver, the size of the truck delivering it, and the width of you street and driveway.
  
  Most of the rugs are shipped by UPS or FedEx Ground. No appointment is made for these deliveries.

Resources

• There are over 200 chemicals used in conventional carpets. No one has made a serious attempt to determine which of these chemicals is responsible for acute illnesses in certain new carpet owners. Symptoms include fatigue, difficulty breathing, weakness, hair loss, skin rashes, dizziness, depression, loss of memory, confusion, headaches, and burning throats, noses, and eyes. Anderson Laboratories conducted a study of several hundred carpets under carefully controlled conditions. The data demonstrated that certain carpets release toxic (poisonous) chemicals into the air. The mice had the same reactions as the carpet owners: altered nervous system (falling, tremors, paralysis of legs, stupor, and convulsions), irritation to the throat, eyes, and nose, and difficulty breathing. The study can be found in Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, 1997, Vol. 7, pp. 177-185.
