What vacuum settings and attachments best minimise wool shedding?

Wool shedding is a normal part of the break‑in for natural wool carpets. To minimise shed fibres, vacuum with a wool‑friendly setting and avoid a beater bar or aggressive agitation on the pile. Use a brush‑ or upholstery‑type attachment for edges and corners, and vacuum regularly—especially in high‑traffic areas—to lift surface dust without pulling fibres. Regular maintenance helps the loose fibres work their way out while the carpet settles. If shedding seems unusually heavy after the first few months, check any warranty guidance and consult your retailer or installer for specific care notes. Always follow the carpet manufacturer’s care instructions and use a wool‑safe vacuum cleaner. Avoid applying steam or excessive moisture directly to the surface during the break‑in period, as this can affect the pile while fibres normalise.
