Question from Greenmom

Hi Debra, Do felt/jute pads for area rugs have fungicide or pesticide? They claim to be Mold/mildew/moth resistant and I’m wondering whats used to achieve that?

Specifically, I’m looking at this: www.rugpadcorner.com/shop/ultra-premium/

Thank you for all the help, you are a great resource!

Debra’s Answer

Well, I called the company (you can call them too) and was told there are “no chemicals, glues, or adhesives” in any of their products. They only use recycled or natural materials.

They may be making the claim to be mold/mildew/moth resistant because of the natural latex rubber. I specifically asked if there were pesticides or fungicides and they said that the manufacturer says there are none.

This pad might smell like latex, but otherwise, this site looks like a good find!
