The WOOLSAFE Organisation
'WoolSafe' is a certification programme for carpet maintenance products and was established in 1991 under the name CAMPES - the Carpet Maintenance Products Evaluation Scheme - by the International Wool Secretariat (IWS), now called the Woolmark Company, in close collaboration with Cleaning Research International (CRi).
Extensive laboratory trials were carried out to standardize a comprehensive range of test methods, and to document the performance criteria for accepting - or rejecting - carpet maintenance products as being suitable for cleaning and protecting wool carpets.
The criteria and test methods chosen were based largely on internationally used standards and tests. The WoolSafe Organisation is also a valuable source of advice on how to look after your carpets and rugs and is supported in Europe by the Wool Marketing Board.
