Rugs

Wool, cotton and jute rugs without PVC backing or added PFAS stain treatments.

The pile may be natural even when the backing and adhesive are not.  We assess those layers together and favor clear construction details over a broad natural-rug label.  Regular cleaning remains important: any rug can collect dust, and natural fibers do not remove that need.
