# The WoolSafe Organisation
The WoolSafe Organisation is an independent certification body and industry authority dedicated to maintaining the highest standards in carpet and rug care. Established in 1991 and based in Otley, the organisation protects wool carpets and rugs through rigorous product evaluation, professional certification, and industry training.
The WoolSafe® Certification Mark represents the gold standard for carpet care chemicals globally, identifying products that are safe and effective specifically for wool fibres. This distinction is crucial: using non-approved products can chemically degrade wool, causing permanent damage. The organisation works with major cleaning chemical manufacturers worldwide to ensure their products meet WoolSafe's stringent safety and performance criteria.
WoolSafe serves three key audiences: professional carpet cleaners, facilities managers and housekeepers seeking certified products and training; consumers looking for proven, safe cleaning solutions; and product manufacturers aiming to demonstrate compliance with industry best practice. The organisation maintains an extensive directory of approved service providers, including carpet cleaners, rug specialists, colour restorers, rug repairers and carpet inspectors.
What distinguishes WoolSafe is its independent certification authority status combined with practical industry support. Beyond certification, they provide education, training programmes, and guidance to professionals—including ongoing advice on emerging issues like sanitisation during health crises. Their Service Approved mark and comprehensive member directory ensure customers can confidently access vetted professionals and products.
