Which statement is true regarding wool carpets?

Wool carpets have natural properties that make them a preferred choice in many settings, but they are not immune to all forms of damage. One of the vulnerabilities of wool fibers is to insect damage, particularly from pests like moths and carpet beetles, which can feed on the natural fibers of the wool. This susceptibility means that without proper care and protective measures, wool carpets can indeed be damaged, highlighting the need for awareness among owners about maintenance practices that can prevent this type of deterioration.

In contrast to wool carpets, materials deemed resistant to insect damage would outperform wool in this regard. Moreover, saying that wool carpets are immune to any type of damage overlooks their fragility to several factors, including insect activity. While wool does have a degree of resilience, particularly in relation to staining and soiling, it still requires special consideration when it comes to cleaning procedures, although wool does not universally necessitate unique cleaning agents under all circumstances.
