Natural Area Rugs Offers Eco-Conscious Shoppers Globally Cool Ways to Carpet the Planet
While other industries rush to catch the green train, NaturalAreaRugs.com has been onboard for decades. The top eco-friendly area rug retailer offers tips for staying on the fast track to global coolness. All Aboard!
Los Angeles, CA (PRweb) July, 2008- Natural Area Rugs has been providing customers with its natural earth friendly products for decades. In an effort towards making positive changes for the environment, Natural Area Rugs has added an earth friendly symbol to its product pages. The symbol will help eco-conscious shoppers find sustainable green products while keeping their cool.
With so much media attention on global warming these days, consumers are being bombarded with warnings about saving the planet.
“At Natural Area Rugs we think it’s important to stay positive about the environment so we can move forward to help our planet heal. That’s not to say that we aren’t concerned… I recently read that 800 million square yards of carpet is thrown away every year,” says owner Lina Giglio. “But, that’s why we chose to become industry leaders, in the first place. To make a difference… by offering sustainable, eco-friendly products. We added the earth-friendly symbol to our product pages so eco-conscious shoppers can feel good about their purchase.”
Natural Area Rugs offers consumers these cool eco-facts about their earth friendly area rugs:
Plant fiber flooring: Sisal rugs (a year-round best seller), seagrass and mountain grass rugs, jute rugs and coir doormats are not only popular for their beauty; they are made from fast-growing, sustainable resources. What does that mean? In the simplest terms it means they grow back quickly once harvested and can be used over and over again. There is no risk of harm to the environment.
Plant fiber area rugs are also biodegradable, which means they won’t sit around in landfills for centuries.
Eco-fact: Bamboo is a woody grass. It is the fastest growing woody plant on earth. Some species grow so fast you can literally see them growing. Bamboo rugs are the ultimate environmentally friendly product.
Tip: Use smaller natural fiber area rugs in high traffic areas and when they are past their prime take them outdoors. Use them as pathways in your garden. They’ll keep weeds at bay and in time fade away into the earth.
Tip: Plant fiber area rugs are sensitive to moisture. They should be placed in areas that are protected from possible spills. Since seagrass grows in saltwater marshes, seagrass rugs are the best option if you are looking for a stain-resistant rug.
Wool flooring: Besides being soft, warm and stylish, Wool rugs are versatile and long-lasting. As a natural source material for wool area rugs, wool is environmentally friendly; since it is biodegradable. Wool carpeting acts as a natural air filter, trapping pollutants in its fibers and keeping indoor air free of contaminants for years. Wool flooring is ideal for high humidity climates or high moisture areas. It discourages bacterial growth and is non-toxic and non-allergenic.
Eco-fact: Just like with human hair, wool grows back. Most wool providers shear their sheep once a year, so the animal’s overcoat will have grown back in time for colder temperatures. That makes wool an ultimate renewable, sustainable material.
Tip: For people with chemical sensitivity, natural area rugs are an ideal choice, since wall-to-wall installations have the tendency to trap dust. Place area rugs at least 20-30 steps away from doorways or home entrances. That way most of the dirt will have fallen away before stepping onto carpet or rugs.
In February of this year, Natural Area Rugs was listed as one of the Web’s best earth friendly retailers and continues to provide area rug shoppers with a host of products in all- natural fibers, from ever-popular bordered jute rugs to striking mountain grass rugs in classic weave designs.
Premium quality hand tufted wool shag rugs and wool sisal rug combinations are available in attractive decorator colors.
