Question from Judy
I’ve been looking for a nice looking indoor mat to place inside the apartment front door now that the weather is getting sloppy. I’m not finding anything I like. Either the bottom is smelly rubber or there is Microban. Do you have any information on what would be appropriate for a healthy home
Lisa’s Answer
You could use a metal boot tray like this. Hook and Loom has a good selection of 100% wool rugs with no backing or dyes. They also offer natural latex grippers to use under the rug. Wool is naturally water resistant but not water proof so it will get wet. Hook and Loom also has natural cotton rugs but those won’t handle dampness from shoes as well as the wool.
