The debate between wool and synthetic carpet has been around since the 1900s so here are some pros from both sides of the argument.
Wool Carpet
The Pros:

- It can help to improve indoor air quality and regulate humidity
- It is naturally fire-resistant and stain resistant
- Wool carpets hold their appearance much longer than synthetic
The Cons:

- Alkaline substances can damage it
- Wool carpet can attract moths but most undergo a moth resistant treatment to reduce this issue
Synthetic Carpet
The Pros:

The Cons:
