Question from GreenWings

First of all, Debra, way back in the 1980s I bought the first edition of “NonToxic and Natural,” and the book had a profound effect on my decisions as a consumer. I can’t thank you enough for the wealth of information in this book. A person sensitive to chemicals such as myself may not have made it through these decades without that guidance!

Currently, I am having ceramic tile installed in my living areas, and I need throw rugs (maybe 3 by 4 feet or so) that can be washed regularly in hot water (due to dust mite allergies). Is there a type of natural textile rug that can tolerate hot water washing and that won’t slide around on ceramic tile?

Debra’s Answer

I get cotton rag rugs. I just throw them in the washer and dryer.

I have one on my tile kitchen floor right now where I stand at the sink. Have had no problem with it slipping.
