Wool mix carpets or synthetic?

Always 80/20 wool for heavy tread areas such as HS&L, and although we don’t have carpets downstairs, if we did we would also have a good wool mix there too. Wool carpets look better, wear better and stay cleaner than any synthetic carpet.

Always get 80/20 wool twist carpets. I think wool is more forgiving when trying to remove stains. My son has synthetic fibre carpets and the stains take some effort to remove. I have also been told that the synthetic carpets these days are very good, but I just don't fancy trying one out!

There are plenty of very efficient and safe carpet foams and liquids about, no need to use bleach. Even if you did what harm would it do to the wool, apart from remove the colour (and it would do that to a synthetic carpet as well.

Our current house is old and comes complete with nice wooden floors, so just use rugs, but when we did have a house with carpets, they were all wool and no problem to look after in anyway. Just vacuumed them weekly and occasionally had them cleaned.

I've always had Karndean or click flooring and very reluctantly agreed to have carpets in the living room of this house. 80/20 wool and it's hard wearing enough but I'd forgotten what a pain they are to care for. Big mistake.

Bleach on carpets ?. Wool mix is hard wearing and much preferable to synthetics.

I really prefer wool mix, but have found to my horror that the moths love it as well. I would now I think have synthetic.

Yes another for wool here we have heavy rugs downstairs and fitted carpets on stairs and bedrooms. All wool.

I think the colours are much not so harsh.

That is obsolete rubbish about bleach???

We are gradually getting rid of carpet, going for hard floors and rugs.

The carpet that was on the stairs flattened terribly, completely losing its "textured" appearance pretty quickly!

We always choose a wool carpet - a natural fibre and less likely to cause static.
And I'm with NotTooOld - why would you use bleach to clean a carpet?

We always go for the wool mix, gransue. Not keen on synthetics all over the floor. Why would you want to clean a carpet with bleach anyway? You can still clean a wool carpet - not with bleach, obviously. No, you made the right choice.
