20th Anniversary
April 1st 2011 TheWoolSafe Organisation is
celebrating 20 years from the first
ever WoolSafe Approved
certificate to be awarded to a
carpet-cleaning product from
Chemspec.
The emphasis of The WoolSafe
Organisation has been placed on
the specific maintenance
requirements of
wool and
wool-rich
carpets
and rugs,
but
other
carpets
have
benefitted too, particularly
'advanced generation'nylon
fibres.
In the days of its beginning,
WoolSafe expected a 20% failure
rate as manufacturers adjusted to
the stringent conditions of the
testing process, but to this day
that rate is said to still remain
typical.
To date, almost 700 cleaning
and maintenance agents have
been tested and more than 300
consumer and professional
products from 80 suppliers carry
WoolSafe accreditation.These are
re-tested every 12 months to
ensure the high standards set out
at the very beginning by the
organisation are still upheld
today. More articles from The WoolSafe Organisation: |
