Wool & Shaggy Rugs Shedding Disclaimer

INFO
Wool Rugs and Shedding: What to Expect
- Every wool rug will shed — this is completely normal and expected.
- Shedding reduces over time, usually after 20–25 vacuuming sessions.
- Some rugs may continue to shed throughout their lifespan depending on pile and fibre type.
- Wool, sheepskin, and deep-pile shaggy rugs naturally shed loose fibres — this is not a fault.

DETAILS
Wool Rugs, Sheepskins & Shedding
- Shedding is Expected: The amount of shedding lessens with time and use; loose fibres are natural for these materials.
- This is not a manufacturing flaw but a normal characteristic of wool and genuine sheepskin.
- We cannot accept returns solely for shedding — it is part of the natural behaviour of fibre rugs.
- If shedding concerns you, consider a synthetic rug for a low-maintenance option.
🧾
PRODUCT
Product Details & Customer Awareness
- We clearly state in each product description when a rug is woollen and prone to shedding.
- Please review this carefully before ordering.
- Ensure you have read our disclaimers covering colour/design, shedding, handmade imperfections, and warranty policies.

CHARACTER
Characteristics of Wool & Shaggy Rugs
- Shaggy Rugs & Shedding: Deep-pile rugs naturally shed fibres and may flatten with time — this is not a defect.
- High-pile rugs (4 cm +) are more prone to matting and shedding (e.g. Montana, Polar, Sierra 9000, Extravagance, Plush, Barnaby).
- Sprouting / Pilling: Stray longer strands are normal; trim gently with scissors (avoid pulling).
- Durability: Shedding does not reduce lifespan — even high-pile wool rugs remain robust.
👃
ODOUR
Durability & New Rug Odour
- Durability: Shedding has no effect on structural integrity.
- New Rug Odour: A temporary scent may appear due to production compounds — it will fade.
- Wool rugs can have a natural, earthy scent that dissipates with time and airflow.
