Anti-mould and anti-moth of pure woolen carpet: Generally speaking, the middle part of the carpet is not easy to get worms, and the corners and the parts around 0.3-1 metre are easy to get worms, because this part is not often stepped on, and there is some space in contact with the ground, there is dust and air, which makes the carpet worms survive. However, all the parts of the carpet which are drawn and pulled together may have worms. This is due to the fact that there are gaps between the warp and weft threads behind this kind of carpet, which can still flow into the air after contacting the ground. In addition, carpets laid on wooden floors are more prone to insects than carpets laid on concrete, tiles and terrazzo. The reason for this is that wooden floors are prone to absorbing moisture, thus providing conditions for bugs to grow. Carpets pressed underneath furniture are also susceptible to bugs.
