Hydrogen peroxide can damage the cuticle of wool fiber. It's animal hair, so it can be damaged.
Are you in the United States? If so, you're not likely going to encounter wool. If you're in Australia or New Zealand it would be different. But in America wool is simply not on the map anymore. If you think there's a remote possibility that it's wool (for example you're cleaning for an uber-rich doctor or lawyer) you could always do a quick and simple fiber ID test. It's very easy to do. Simply burn a snip of fiber. If it smells like burning hair (stinks) it's wool. If it doesn't smell like burning hair - it's not wool.
Encap-HydrOx will serve you very well, all day long, for 99.9% of everything you're likely to ever come across. And having 1 gallon of Encap-Clean DS2 on the truck (for the once every 10 year possible encounter with wool) is always an option too.
