How To Shop For A Non-Toxic Rug

Rugs are notorious for off-gassing nasty chemicals into your indoor air.

With indoor air quality 2-5 times worse than outdoor air quality, it’s best to opt for non-toxic rugs. Look For:

1

100% Wool or Cotton Wool is naturally fire-resistant!

2

Free of Chemical Treatments It's best to avoid rugs that are treated with flame-retardant chemicals.

3

Free of a synthetic backing Instead, opt for one without a backing (if not too slippery) or one with natural latex.
