What is the most durable fiber for an area rug, wool, or synthetic?
For good looks that last, wool is best and naturally the most durable fiber, it wears the longest and cleans up well. A wool rug must be professionally dry cleaned or you can use a cleaner appropriate for wool to spot clean. If you are allergic to wool or simply prefer a synthetic rug, quality is key. Some of the newer synthetic rugs on the market are designed to have the look and feel of wool rugs. Caroll Rug displays WNY’s largest selection of quality nylon, polypropylene, and acrylic rugs.
