Wool
Wool
Natural fibre - Fire retardant; it won't catch fire which is why it's commonly used in aeroplanes and hotels. It may be labelled a luxurious fibre, however it can be very easily permanently damaged by particular stains. Most commonly pet urine, rust and wood stains. We use a specific pre-spray for wool as a lot of carpet cleaners use more harsh chemicals that can damage wool.

Viscose
Viscose
Natural fibre - Made from woof pulp and used as a silk substitute, even referred to as artificial silk. It is a very delicate fibre and isn't recommended for spot cleaning or to be overwet. It can often have a shiny quality in rugs or clothing.

Cotton
Cotton
Natural fibre - Cotton can often be mixed with polyester, very soft fibre but can be absorbent to colour. It is important to make sure any other fibres in the rug or couch are colourfast, which is often overlooked by other cleaners. If not, it may absorb the other colour and be permanently damaged.
