Wool Rugs may be durable, but that doesn’t mean they won’t slide or get pushed around if someone knocks into them the wrong way. You see this a lot with Persian Rugs and Oriental Rugs because they’re often made from wool material too.
Wool does have its advantages, though, such as the natural wax produced by its fibers. This wax is what keeps wool approximately 30% more resistant to stains in comparison to synthetic fibers. But the downside to wool rugs is they trap dust, fungal spores, and dirt more easily. On top of that, they slide around more easily on solid surfaces.

Rug pads are the only way to stop the sliding and maintain the safety of your rug. But you must be careful about which type of padding you choose. There are some Rug Pads made from wool material too. It would be a disaster and counterproductive to use Wool Padding for a wood rug. You’d likely have an even more significant risk of a slip and fall accident in that case.
When it comes to rug pads, the best options are always synthetic ones. Even though the same concept doesn’t apply to the rugs themselves, a synthetic rug pad is formulated to serve as a barrier between the rug and floor. Synthetic rug pads help prevent wool rugs from sliding around and causing people to slip. Meanwhile, the hard flooring does not get stained with dyes from the rug. It is a win-win for both.
The two best synthetic rug pad options for wool rugs are felt and rubber. The felt rug pads have become increasingly popular over the years. They’re made from several different rug fibers and are hypoallergenic too. Some felt rug pads are even formulated with antimicrobial and moisture resistant properties too. This is great if you want to prevent mildew, mold, and bacteria from spreading on your rug material.

Rug pad suppliers can customize your rug pads upon your request. After all, your wool rug pad must accommodate the dimensions and thickness of your wool rug. Since wool rugs - ( Wool Rug Cleaning ) are all different in many respects, then Wool Rug Pads must be made differently too. If you don’t care about rug customization, you can find some predesigned wool rug pads to try out for a lower price.

“I brought in 3 rugs, one of which was still dirty after a traditional rug padding and cleaning a few weeks ago - the bloke was total garbage. I don't know where they have the C.C.F.'s (Rug Padding Fairies) during the day, but all I can speak is their laundry is absolute magic 🤩 - if you have a colored oriental rug, bring your sunglasses when you see as your rug will shine and one of mine was 25+ years old. Add that to their knowledge of my rugs, where they came from, and how to wash them well always, and I cannot see how anyone can give them (or their fairies) for such expertise. ORC. Always offers excellent service from a pleasant and expert local company.”😊 👌
