Matter 100% New Zealand Wool

Wool rugs charm with their comfort, resilience and ease of care. The wools used for rugs are springy and resistant to crushing. Handmade wool rugs, whether tufted, woven or knotted, offer excellent colourfastness. They combine visual comfort, acoustic comfort – as the pile absorbs sound – and everyday comfort, acting as a natural humidity regulator. The scaled structure of wool fibre prevents dirt from becoming embedded and makes cleaning easier. A specialist rug cleaner will wash it with a mild detergent and plenty of water. However, regular vacuuming without a brush and occasional spot-cleaning with fuller's earth mean this deep clean is only needed every 3 to 4 years.
