Your rugs are not treated with anything toxic, correct?
Correct! Many rug companies offer a machine-made quality rug which, at its core, is a polypropylene, polyester, or acrylic thread which are all derived from petroleum. Since this is essentially gas, there will always be a level of VOC (volatile organic compound) present.
What some companies do however is add additives to the thread for luster, increased flame resistance, etc. which does increase the levels of VOC.
Our rugs do not have any additives added to the polypropylene and polyester threads used to keep this in mind. Standard polypropylene is within compliance with fire codes as it melts so adding these chemicals is not necessary.
We do take home health, budget-friendliness, and a green mind as high priorities before releasing new collections and designs on our website.
