Re: Chemical free Area rugs???Where to buy????

Look online for organic cotton rugs. There are also organic wool blend

carpets; you could have the edges finished & it might give you more choices.

I was just looking at a site with area rugs with very reasonable prices that

came up on a search for organic cotton. Good luck!

Hi ,

We don't have our new (laminate) floors finished yet, but I am looking for rugs

too. I have located these two websites and may well order from them.

http://www.allergybuyersclubshopping.com/naturalwoolrugs.html

http://www.abundantearth.com/store/naturalflooraccessories.html

Another thing you might want to look into is estate auctions or antique stores.

Handcrafted wool braided rugs wear like iron and would not be treated. I passed

by one of these at an auction a few years back that eventually sold for $10.

I'm still kicking myself. I wish I had the time to try to make one.

HTH!

Hi Lissy,

Thanks for the websites.Do you know if any of these chemical free

rugs are sold at store like IKEA or PIER 1???i may start calling

around because with shipping(probably a fortune) I would not be able

to afford to order from the internet.

Thanks,

I have purchased a rug from IKEA for a low usage room that seems

safe enough. It is a hand knotted wool rug that is different shades

of ivory (natural shades of the wool--some of the colors in rugs are

done with dyes that contain metals). The salesman at IKEA seemed

very knowledgable and assured me that wool rugs are not treated

because a) it would wreck the rug and is not necessary since wool

has natural flame-retardancy. He may have been blowing smoke at me

for all I know. I would be very careful--for all their " Swedish "

put on, most of the products are from third world countries.

Supposedly IKEA is good about child labor issues (?????).
