Polishing Wool Steamed Pads

The Difference Between Steamed and Un-Steamed Pads

By steaming the wool, the tufted wool yarn strands bloom with heat and moisture, providing a full, plush feeling. With unsteamed wool pads, the strands of wool are sewn tighter together resulting in more wool in the pad.

Benefits:

• Larger Strands – During the steaming process the strands bloom and swell, making the strands look visually wider.
• Less Initial Blow off – One of the results of steaming the wool is that it helps to reduce the amount of wool that initially sheds from the pad.
• Look and Feel – Because the wool swells, the pad feels more plush and full adding delicacy to the polishing process.
