Wool Stink!

[Roger Koh]

Is wool stinking during the drying process a concern to the customer, especially to on-location wall-to-wall carpeting?

How about in-plants wool rug cleaning – is wool stinking an issue?

How do you eliminate such stink?

Not usually- typically it would only be for the ffirst few minutes during and after cleaning on location and a non issue completely in a rug plant environment.

If they complain, you may point out slyly that "Evidently they've never been around sheep in the rain."

Wool contains sulfur and that is what gives it the wet dog smell. Its one of the basic organic elements in wool and will always be present.
