IEHA, WoolSafe Form Wool Care Training Course

Westerville, OH, Oct. 15, 2010--The International Executive Housekeepers Association (IEHA) and WoolSafe North America said they have formed an educational partnership to provide IEHA members with advanced training in the care of wool carpet and furnishings.
 
The WoolSafe Fabric Care Specialist online training course will provide IEHA members with education in the cleaning and maintenance of wool, and ultimately recognition as WoolSafe Fabric Care Specialists.
 
Wool is growing in popularity as a floor covering and upholstery material in hotels and other upscale facilities because of its durable, soft and resilient natural fibers, resistance to matting, crushing and soil-adherence, and the bonus that it keeps its original appearance for years longer than synthetic fibers. It’s also a green and renewable resource for more sustainable environments.
 
However, proper care is essential to wool’s longevity.

The WoolSafe program has been available in Great Britain and a handful of other countries as an in-person classroom training course.
