Eco Friendly Rugs

How to choose an eco-friendly rug:

You might have heard that our indoor air quality is more polluted than outdoor air. So, have you ever thought of how to combat it? Well, quality eco-friendly rugs can bring the solution you are looking for. Here are a few things to consider while shopping for the best eco-friendly rugs –

• Look for natural and recycled fibres:

  Natural fibre rugs are made from renewable resources that have biodegradable properties like wool, recyclable properties like nylon or poly, or a combination of all. Most of these fibres are stain-resistant and emit a low amount of VOCs.

• Non-toxic backing:

  To prevent off-gassing, our rug backings have been made of untreated natural materials. Our eco-friendly rugs and carpets come with natural latex backing.
  

• Chemical treatment:

  Even if our eco-friendly area rugs and carpets are made of natural fibre, most of them are treated with flame repellents, insects, or stains, which can emit VOCs. For example, sheep raised in conventional farming are often dipped in pesticide baths to control the growth of ticks, mites, and lice in that sheep’s hair. It creates a lot of health risks for the sheep and the workers. Processing wool and cotton fibres also involve a lot of chemical work. On the contrary, organic cotton is processed without dioxin-producing bleach, artificial fertilizers, or pesticides. Hence, to purchase the best eco-friendly rugs look for the ones that are labelled as organic or minimally treated.
  

Once you’ve decided to purchase the best eco-friendly rugs, seek products that suit both your preferences and your needs. Here are a few things to take into account while shopping for your style –

• Consider the colour carefully:

  Our collection of the best eco-friendly rugs frequently uses organic wool or recycled polyester to produce fibres that are vivid and colourful. Additionally, some sustainable rugs come with colourfast dye, which keeps the vibrancy and exuberance of the rug for years to come. You will have several alternatives to choose from, such as beige, grey, or cream if you want eye-catching dashes of hues.

• Great for indoors and outdoors:

  The best part about eco-friendly rugs is the use of recycled fibre in manufacturing them. These fibres are resistant to damage caused by exposure to moisture and sunlight. Be it porches, patios, or entryways, such rugs stay beautiful even if they get caught in a rainstorm. Right from protecting the floors from muddy shoes to trapping indoor dust, our best eco-friendly rugs can do a lot for homes and workspaces.

• Pick the pattern to match the décor:

  Design is not a challenge with the best eco-friendly rug manufacturer like Marwar Carpets. Our eco-friendly rugs come in a variety of styles, from conventional colours to those patterned.

• Reversible:

  Quality eco-friendly rugs are reversible, so you can use them fully with dual side decoration. This allows you to put less effort into the overall maintenance of the carpet and let you make subtle changes in your décor scheme as well.

• Feels smoother and softer:

  Do you want to get the feel of plush carpet under bare feet or you are looking for a smooth and flat surface to step onto? Well, pile depths of eco-friendly rugs can vary to provide the much-needed sinking effect as you place your feet. The flat weave or indoor-outdoor rugs made of sustainable material doesn’t provide much “sinking” effect due to the use of minimal pile. Moreover, the best eco-friendly rugs may or may not come with a broader fringe. So, if you are looking for a clean-edge rug, opt for the option with a sleek border from the best eco-friendly rugs manufacturer like Marwar Carpets.

When it comes to the installation of new floor coverings, clean the area carefully where the old carpet used to sit. There might be glue residue that may hinder the proper installation of the new carpet. Since non-toxic glues are less potent due to containing water and non-hazardous chemicals, it is necessary to clean floors immaculately to let the adhesives of the new rug stick better and last longer.
