The exhibition will go live at 5pm UK time each day when visitors will be able to navigate around the tradeshow floor and visit the stands of the WoolSafe Licensees and Associate Carpet Manufacturers. Just like walking onto a stand at a live trade show, visitors can pick up a brochure, talk face-to-face with exhibitor staff, watch a demonstration and find out about and place an order for equipment and solutions. Look out for special deals during the event!
From 6pm to 8pm the WoolSafe Grand Expo Stage will have an amazing line up of the top educators in the industry, delivering seminars, workshops and demonstrations and there is also a virtual café-bar where attendees can meet to network and relax.
There are different educational topics on each evening including specialist cleaning of fine fibres and research into treatments on chemically degraded fibres, business development through sales, marketing and networking. The last evening focuses on infection control and bodily fluid clean-up.

Viscose fibres are going to be with us for many years to come. We know that some of the production processes are improving the fibre, which helps how it reacts to soils as well as maintaining them. In general, dry compound extraction is the recommended cleaning process, however we all know that isn’t going to deal with spillages on a reconstituted wood fibre. I will share with you some of the techniques I use to remove some soils & restore the pile during a spot clean.
