Why Choose Wool Blankets? Five Facts About Wool
Why Choose Wool Blankets?
- Wool is hypoallergenic, antibacterial and resistant to dust mites.
- It’s 100% biodegradable. At the end of its life a wool blanket can be returned to the soil where it will break down in a short period of time fertilising plants with nitrogen as it decomposes.
3. Wool is anti-static. Wool blankets generate very little static electricity because of the qualities of the natural fibres. Static attracts dirt and dust so the anti-static properties will keep it cleaner for longer.
4.It absorbs harmful pollutants from the air and does not re-emit them. It is estimated that use of wool in interiors can help purify the air for 30 years.
5. It’s easy to clean. Its surface consists of microscopic fibres, like overlapping scales, which means that the dirt sits on the top of the fibres and can be easily removed with a vacuum cleaner.
