Question from kathy
I need to get area rug pads – I would like more than just the grip kind. A thicker, felt-like one is ideal. Do you know of any sources that are not toxic, don’t off-gas, etc.
Thanks,
Kathy

You might like Earth Weave’s Enertia Carpet Padding
They also have an all natural rubber gripper pad.
Most wool is treated w/mildicide or other pesticide at some stage in it’s process. Try a small sample 1st!
I bought rug pads from this place:

They have two types, with and without rubber. There was a very slight odor of rubber when I got them, but it was gone very quickly. I do not have MCS but want all chemicals out of my house. I’ve been very pleased with these since there is no latex and not glues, but you will want to test a piece if you have MCS.
