Wow, I’m really good that I decided to do some research on the hooked rug, I’ll be sure to check for that ink before I buy one, or that would be one sad day when I get my carpet cleaned. Thanks for the warning!

I liked the video very much. It shows how to do a dye test in a very simple but effective way in a few minutes. You don’t have to have complicated equipment or chemicals in a sophisticated high tech laboratory. Thank you Lisa for making this educational video and sharing it.

Hi James, thanks for posting. If you opt in for the Rug Disasters report, that gets you on “my” list and whenever workshops happen you will get the first word. That is my first go-to list of cleaners. Have a great week! – Lisa

Comment on Rug To Run From: Viscose Rugs! by admin

Hi Sophia, I guess if I had to choose a synthetic fiber, I’d choose nylon. All of the synthetic fibers are petroleum by-products (plastic) so they are not the “green” choice, and I don’t know if I’d call them hypo-allergenic per se. Wool will grab more dust out of the air than synthetics will, so it’s a great air filter for a room (IF it’s regularly vacuumed of course). But you also could frequently vacuum a nylon rug.

With synthetics, I would pick a woven rug (obviously machine woven, they don’t hand weave nylon rugs) where you can see the design on the back side and NOT a tufted rug, which is a rug with material on the back. The reason I say this is because with tufted rugs a lot of latex is used to hold these rugs together, and that adhesive usually has an odor that is irritating to some people.

Hope that helps, those are just my opinions – others may think differently. =)
