Eco-friendly carpets are becoming an important element of a healthy home. These natural decorations contribute to creating a harmonious ambience and to nature preservation. 

Traditional rug production technologies have a negative impact on the environment. The use of synthetic components leads to the release of harmful waste.

In this article, we’ll talk about the benefits of eco-friendly accessories. We’ll discuss the materials and the selection of eco-friendly carpets for a house.

What is an eco-friendly rug?

It is an item made from natural, environmentally friendly materials. Organic dyes are used in the process of its production. Some objects are renewable. They are created from recycled plastic or textile waste.

Natural pieces are produced without chemicals that synthetic elements and artificial dyes contain. This reduces the risk of an unpleasant odor.

Natural materials for rugs

These are organic constituents (wool, jute, silk, sisal, etc). Here are the properties and characteristics of some components:

• Wool. It has a pleasant texture. And good thermal insulation properties. Products made of this material are wear-resistant. With proper care, their service life is 50 years. However, wool can cause allergies.

• Cotton. The fiber is easily dyed in any hue, but it quickly absorbs moisture. Cotton fades in sunlight, loses its tint brightness after washing. It’s a hypoallergenic substance that suits individuals with intolerance to wool.

• Silk. The material is expensive, durable, and requires a special attitude. It doesn’t keep warmth. Such an accessory performs an aesthetic rather than a practical function.

• Jute. It’s more often applied as a base. If the component is present in the pile, the texture of the piece is dense and rigid.

• Flax. The material looks unusual. Linen articles have soft, neutral shades. They can be combined with any palette of tones.

Advantages of eco-friendly carpets for a house

The popularity of such products is constantly growing, turning them into a modern eco-trend that is safe and beautiful. Here are some benefits of the pieces:

• Upgrading indoor air quality. This property is especially important for people with allergies and similar health problems.

• Durability. Natural materials retain their attractiveness and perform their functions for a long time.

• Resistance to dirt. Many eco-friendly accessories have special properties. These qualities help to prevent the accumulation of stains.

• Pleasant tactile sensations. Such rugs create a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere in a house.

• Aesthetic value. Eco-friendly articles usually have a unique appearance (thanks to organic dyes and constituents). These objects give the interior a natural beauty.

Don’t apply harsh chemicals. Carefully read the instructions before using a cleaning agent. If you have any questions, please consult a specialist.

Don’t apply hot water to get rid of stains. The temperature of the liquid should not exceed 40 ° C.

Delicate fibers are sensitive to mechanical influences. Don’t knock out the surface. And don’t apply a brush with a rigid structure to clean the object.

If the product is heavily soiled, take it to the dry cleaner’s.
