Wool Berber Carpet

Wool Berber carpet is the best choice for those wanting a classy looking floor, a natural fiber floor, and non-toxic flooring. Wool Berber carpets are easy to care for, come in a variety of colors and styles, and last a long time. Wool carpets are worth their extra cost. Berber carpets are wonderful in design and style, giving you a special look in your home or office.

Berber carpet is one of the most popular style choices people make when deciding to carpet their home. Choosing Berber carpeting can be overwhelming though because there are so many choices at the flooring store. That is why there are several things that you need to keep in mind when choosing your Berber carpeting to ensure that you get the maximum value for your money.

When considering Berber carpet for your office or home, make sure that you choose a high quality Berber. Berber carpeting comes in all different price ranges and materials, but if you want carpeting that lasts for a long time then you will need to spend a little more. Wool Berber carpet is the best value for your money. The benefits of the wool Berber over the synthetic Berbers will more than make up for the extra cost.

Wool Berber carpeting is woven from the wool of sheep, which also means that it is environmentally friendly because sheep regrow their wool each year and there is no off-gassing from the petrochemicals that go into making synthetic fibers. The natural color of sheep's wool ranges from an off-white to a gray, but wool can also be dyed to many different colors.

Wool Berber carpets are soft, warm, and cushiony to walk on, which makes them great for just about any room in your home. It usually shows fewer footprints than other carpeting and hides those vacuum tracks that many people dislike. The loops of wool that are synonymous with Berber carpet create a natural insulator for your room, which will help keep the temperature regulated and the sound level down.

Another great benefit of wool Berber carpet is the fact that it is naturally hypoallergenic and non-toxic. This benefit is great for homes where people suffer from allergies or allergy induced asthma because it helps to keep the air cleaner and fresher because it does not release allergens in the air.

Wool Berber carpets are not difficult to keep clean either, as long as you keep a few things in mind. The first thing you need to do is to encourage the members of your family to wipe their feet before entering the house or take their shoes off. This will help keep a lot of the dirt outside where it belongs. Vacuum regularly and clean up spills as soon as they occur and you will find that your carpets will last for years and years with regular cleanings. It is important to clean your wool Berber carpets with recommended wool Berber carpet cleaners, rather than a chemical carpet cleaner, because you don't want to strip out the lanolin that naturally occurs in wool and helps repel dirt. It is also important to avoid overwetting the carpeting as it will shrink when drying if it becomes too wet and may even pull away from the wall. Follow your manufacturer's directions exactly to get your wool Berber carpet as clean as possible.

If you enjoy the feel of natural fibers beneath your feet, then you will love wool Berber carpet. This soft, cushiony carpeting will make anyone's little tootsies happy. With just a little care, your wool Berber carpets will last for years.

My granddaughter mistaken put gum on my berber carpet. I have tried just about everything to get it off but it not happening. Any suggestions?

What have you tried? Have you tried freezing the gum with ice so that you can peel it off?

I was told by our carpet installer that we shouldn't use our regular vacuum on the carpet, taht it would get "pilled" by the rotating brush on the upright. THey recommended using a vacuum with a brush that doesn't have a rotating part...what do you think?

I assume ours is a berber wool, as it has the loops of berber and is wool, but it also is kind of fuzzy, with some strands that stand out.

Hi Erika,

I agree with what you were told about vacuumes with rotating brushes, not necessarily because of pilling, but because the loops can get caught up in the brushes. If that were to happen, your carpet would be damaged.

You mentioned that there were some strands that stand out. How far do they stand out? Was it like this when it was installed? Did the sample or bolt you saw in a showroom have some strands that stood out? If your carpet was put down lately then you need to give the good folks you bought your carpet a phone call and tell them about it and explain that you are not happy.

Obviously, I'm assuming that the carpet was flawed either before or during installation and that you didn't do it yourself over a short legnth of time.

You do need to be careful with Berber, pointy high-heels are a no-no, if you have dogs, keep their nails trimmed are just a couple of good hints.
