Wool Fiber Protection by Jafri Oriental Rugs

Wool naturally contains lanolin, a grease that gives wool its natural resistance to water and certain stains. After wool is sheared, graded, and sorted, it undergoes a scouring process. This process removes contaminants like suits, vegetable matter, sheep marking fluids, urine, sand, and ointment, along with most of the wool grease. The residual wool grease, known as lanolin, is left in the fibers.

Post-processing, only about 0.5% of lanolin remains in the wool fibers. Although lanolin is an excellent natural repellant, it degrades over time due to foot traffic, vacuuming, cleaning, spotting, and UV light exposure.

At Jafri Oriental Rugs, we specialize in protecting your wool fibers. Our specially formulated products restore the natural repellency of wool fibers that have lost or degraded their lanolin coating. Our treatment creates an invisible barrier, allowing you to blot spills before they cause permanent damage.
