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.
