Wool carpet is ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers as wool does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould or mildew. This helps reduce the likelihood of spores, mycotoxins and volatile organic compounds developing in the home, supporting a healthier indoor environment and helping to minimise allergy and respiratory triggers. Wool fibre also naturally deters the growth of dust mites, which are one of the most common causes of asthma symptoms.
