Earth Weave's Dolomite Collection is a tufted, textured, loop-pile carpet made from 100% wool that is undyed and untreated with pesticides or stain retardants. The primary backing is made from natural hemp and cotton, which is bound to the yarn with all-natural rubber. The secondary backing is made of jute. This is a zero VOC carpet.Keeping your untreated wool carpet clean is of paramount importance in preserving the lifespan. If your carpet is frequently used in areas with high footfall, and is regularly cleaned, you should not have to worry about wool moth infestations. However, more care is necessary in areas such as guest rooms which aren't used as regularly and have lower footfall.Two of the most important steps we suggest:1. Keeping your carpet clean is the easiest way to prevent moth infestation. Make sure to vacuum your wool rug at least once a week, clean up any spills immediately, and regularly inspect your carpet for insects and carpet moth larvae.2. If your rug is partially covered by a piece of furniture, it is recommended you rotate it every 6 months so as to prevent those particular areas from becoming infected. Moths prefer darker areas, so regular rotation is an effective way to lessen the likelihood of this.Additionally, customers can purchase natural herbal sachets that can be used in dark or less traveled areas.
