One of the key principles of the Circular Economy is to build resilience.
If we build things that last longer then we delay chucking things away, and use less precious energy making and distributing new stuff.
The fact that 100% wool carpets keep their good looks longer than synthetics or blends of fibres is good news. Also of course the fibre is rapidly renewable and so long is it is not cheapened with synthetic fibre it remains biodegradable.
Wool is off to a good start in providing manufacturers a sustainable and resilient ingredient.
Another important step is maintenance. Looking after carpets so that they last longer. The best thing to do is to vacuum regularly.
If you spill something then most stains can be removed with water, dilute the stain and mop up the liquid with a clean white cloth. Dab don’t rub!!
Some stains are more determined and for those you need chemicals. Not just any chemicals. Eco-friendly products, non-toxic and not tested on animals, all in recyclable packaging.
We have built woolclean to help people who own carpets make them stay looking lovely. It’s coming soon to UK carpet retailers that care about their customers and their customer’s habitat.
WoolSafe approved, Woolclean is recommended for use with our Laneve branded carpets.
