Enjoy a comfortable life with wool rugs
ANTRY has started handling Hotta Carpet's wool rug brand "COURT". COURT is a rug brand produced by Hotta Carpet, a long-established manufacturer founded in 1962. These are the highest quality domestic wool rugs/carpets made with particular attention to the wool origin, sheep breed, and manufacturing method for each product.
The wool material that Hotta Carpet is particular about offers not only the comfort that only natural fibers can provide, but also excellent functionality. It also has moisture control and soundproofing effects, allowing you to experience living with a comfortable rug/carpet throughout the year. This time we will introduce the charm of such wool rugs.
1. Comfortable all year round
Wool has a humidity control function and has the property of keeping the air throughout the room constant. In summer, the moisture-absorbing effect keeps you dry and comfortable. Depending on the area of the carpet, it is also good enough to prevent condensation. Of course, in winter, it also maintains warm air evenly. It also saves energy on your air conditioner, and you can enjoy the charm and texture of wool carpet all year round.
2. Easy to clean
For regular cleaning, just a vacuum cleaner is sufficient. The free hair (excess hair) that is characteristic of wool gradually comes out from the surface, and dirt can be removed along with it, and you can keep it clean by vacuuming frequently. We do not recommend using brushes or roller cleaners as they are easily damaged.
3. Resistant to moisture
Just as human hair repels water, wool has a natural cuticle effect, so it won't soak in after a few minutes, and if you spill a cold drink on it, just cover it with a dry towel and it won't stain. Hot water and hot drinks are easily absorbed, so wipe up any spills immediately.4. Not easily worn out
Wool is a material with high elasticity and resilience compared to synthetic fibers and cotton products. Once the fibers of synthetic fibers deteriorate, they almost never return to their original state. Only furniture marks and areas where you often sit and walk will cause dents, but wool is a material that tends to return to its natural state over time, just like the rest of your hair. Using a steam iron etc. will help the hair return quickly and will be effective.
5. Safe for people with allergies
There is a theory that allergic reactions are not caused by the carpet itself, but can be caused by inhaling poorly cleaned carpets or dust (house dust). Wool carpet absorbs dust and has the effect of suppressing the dust that causes house dust, so keeping it clean with a basic vacuum cleaner will help prevent allergies.
6. Peace of mind even if you have pets
If you have a pet, you may be concerned about the smell that sticks to your rug. In fact, wool is a fiber with excellent deodorizing properties. Wool material has deodorizing and moisture control properties, so it is currently attracting a lot of attention as an inner layer for outdoor use.
For cats, you also have to worry about sharpening their nails. Cut pile is best, as loop pile is especially easy to snag on nails. Cut pile also removes dirt more easily, so we recommend Local Woolen Court's cut pile if you have pets from a maintenance standpoint.
Hotta Carpet is particular about wool, not only for its durability, but also for its long and beautiful use. COURT is a special rug that uses the highest quality wool material to increase the "density" that is the definition of a good rug, and can be used for a long time with maintenance. Please experience the comfortable living that only wool rugs can provide.
