THE NATURAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF WOOL CARPET
When specifying what flooring is to be installed on a project it is worth considering the mental and physical health benefits of wool carpet . The mental health of staff is enhanced in a calm , quiet atmosphere . Wool carpet and upholstery naturally absorb sound , so you don ’ t get the stressful cacophony of noise from scraping chairs , footfall and the echo of multiple conversations . Wool carpet has a positive impact on the physical wellbeing and productivity of staff within facilities by dramatically improving indoor air quality . Wool carpet regulates and balances indoor humidity , removes volatile organic compounds ( VOCs ) from the air , traps dust and pollen that trigger allergic reactions such as asthma and hay fever and , continues to filter the air for up to 30 years ! WoolSafe can help your clients keep this giant wool filter clean with safe and effective maintenance products and a global network of Approved Service Providers .
