Question from Donna L
I was wondering if you’re familiar with Anji Mountain Bamboo rugs? I’m interested in one of their shag rugs and understand that the fiber is bamboo and cotton and that they use “non-toxic” dyes. However, I’m concerned about the backing and glue (particularly if there is any formaldehyde) that they use, as I can’t find any information on either. Thank you so much for your help with this and all the other great info on your site.

From looking at the site, it looks to me like these rugs have no backing. If they are using natural fibers and nontoxic dyes, it’s likely there are no toxic elements. However, I would call the website and just double-check this with them (and then leave a comment here and let us know).
