Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Will this rug shed, and what is the best way to maintain it?
It is normal for new wool rugs to experience some shedding as loose fibers work their way to the surface over time. To manage this and protect the integrity of the weave, our care experts recommend vacuuming on a high setting without the use of a beater bar. Additionally, rotating the rug frequently will ensure even wear, while keeping it out of direct sunlight will help preserve the depth of its tonal colors.
Is a wool runner durable enough for high-traffic hallways?
Yes, wool is a naturally resilient and high-performance fiber, making it an excellent choice for busy thoroughfares. This runner is hand-woven in India with a premium wool pile that features a natural "crimp," allowing the fibers to spring back after being compressed. This inherent elasticity helps prevent the matting and crushing often seen in synthetic materials, ensuring the rug maintains its shape even in the most active areas of your home.
How effective is a wool rug at reducing noise in an urban apartment or multi-story home?
Wool is a superior material for sound insulation and acoustic dampening. The dense, hand-woven pile of this runner acts as a natural sound absorber, significantly reducing echoes in long hallways and muffling the sound of foot traffic. For residents in apartments or homes with echoing corridors, a wool runner provides a practical solution for creating a quieter and more serene living environment.
Is a wool rug a practical choice for households with pets and children?
Wool is an ideal choice for active families because of its natural lanolin coating, which provides an inherent, eco-friendly barrier against liquids and stains. This specific rug is also designed to be stain-resistant, making cleanup more manageable. Based on our expertise with this material, we recommend blotting spills immediately with a clean cloth and using only water with a mild detergent for spot cleaning to avoid stripping the wool's natural protective properties.
Is it necessary to use a rug pad with a runner of this size?
We highly recommend using a quality rug pad with any runner, especially in narrow transit areas where slipping is more likely. A rug pad keeps the runner securely in place for safety and acts as a protective barrier between the rug's backing and your hardwood or tile floors. Furthermore, the extra layer of a pad enhances the rug's natural comfort and helps protect the 0.75-inch pile from premature wear.
