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, eco-friendly rugs can bring the solution you are looking for. Here are a few things to consider while shopping for 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 carpets and rugs 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 look for rugs that are labeled as organic or minimally treated.
Once you have decided that you will go for eco-friendly material while buying rugs, look for things that will meet your taste and practical needs as well. Here are a few things to consider to shop according to your personal sense of style –
-
Consider the colour carefully:
Our eco friendly rugs are often made of recycled polyester or organic wool to create vibrant and colourful fibres. On top of it, some eco-friendly rugs are produced with colourfast dye, due to which carpets remain cheerful and vivid for years to come. If you are someone who loves bright pops of colours, you will have plenty of options to consider like beige, grey, or cream.
-
Great for indoors and outdoors:
The best part about eco-friendly rugs is the use of recycled fibre in manufacturing them. These fibers 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 the indoor dust, our best eco friendly rugs can do a lot for homes and workspace.
-
Pick the pattern to match the décor:
With eco-friendly rugs manufacturers like Marwar Carpets, design is not a constraint. Right from solid colours to adding patterns onto the rugs, eco-friendly rugs are found in different forms.
-
Reversible:
Many eco-friendly rugs are fully 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 eco-friendly material doesn’t provide much “sinking” effect due to the use of minimal pile. Moreover, 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 eco friendly rugs manufacturers 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 carpet stick better and last longer.
