Did you know that choosing a wool carpet or rug for your home is both good news… and sometimes bad?
The good news is choosing wool, which is a high quality fiber but not really that popular because of the higher price, means your carpet or rug will last longer, look better and retain value. Also, unlike a synthetic fiber, wool will not retain a flame and if it chars, it's fumes won't kill you. That's why it's always used to carpet cruise ships and airplanes.

The bad news is choosing wool means you won’t see as much dirt on
it, and so you may not vacuum or clean it that often — which means your
nice, wool carpet or rug may prematurely wear out.The reason why its fibers hide soils so well is that the fiber looks like a telescopic car antenna under a microscope. So it tends to hide soils in the graduations of the antenna like structure. Why is that?
Most consumers base their cleaning frequencies on appearance. That can be dangerous for any carpet or rug, or any surface, for that matter. With wool, the physical makeup of the fiber has the characteristic of hiding dirt, especially those tiny, gritty particles that wear on the fibers. You might compare this to putting sand on a piece of Plexiglas and walking on it. The sand will act as an abrasive, damaging the surface.
While wool fibers may damage more quickly than other synthetic fibers, it prevents the build up of static
electricity since wool fibers like to retain moisture..
