Wool Carpet: A Pet’s Best Friend

Posted By: Joel Schreier

Wool carpets provide the ultimate luxury for your Chicago pets, while keeping them safe and healthy.  The natural benefits or wool are especially noteworthy for older pets and those with compromised immune systems.  Wool is a non-allergenic fiber that does not promote the growth of bacteria, dust mites or give off harmful emissions, making it a safe and healthy choice for your carpet in Chicago.  Since wool actually absorbs indoor air contaminants, the air a pet breathes is cleaner and safer than it would be without wool. 

Aside from promoting good health, wool carpet feels good.  The luxurious softness and warmth makes it incredibly comfortable.  That’s because all the qualities that make wool coats, sweaters, hats and scarves so wonderful to wear are built right into the carpet.  The natural bulk and resilience of wool provides an exceptional layer of under-paw comfort and provides the perfect place for your Chicago pet to curl up and enjoy.

 For customers with pets that shed, a wool carpet that matches the pet’s hair can help keep the floor looking clean.  Although it may sound silly, this beauty secret can lessen the need for extra vacuuming of your Chicago carpet. 

 The bottom line is that wool carpet is an excellent solution for any Chicago pet owner.  Like any carpet, the best way to care for wool carpeting in Chicago is through proper vacuuming and getting to problem areas quickly.  You will find a wide assortment of in-stock and special order wool carpets at Home Carpet One in Lakeview.
