Mohawk Home Rug Review and Giveaway

I am a huge advocate of clean living. One place people don't always realize that toxins are hiding is in their own homes. And carpeting is a huge culprit!! Whether your carpets are new or old, they probably have more bad things in them than you want to imagine. The list is staggering. For new carpets there are ‘volatile organic compounds’ VOC’s. These include toluene, benzene, formaldehyde, ethyl benzene, styrene, acetone and a host of other chemicals, some of which have already made the EPA’s list of Extremely Hazardous Substances. And that is not all that it is in your carpet. Other compounds in new carpeting that affect your health are adhesives, stain protectors, mothproofing and flame retardants.

Older carpets can be more of a hazard than new ones: Not only do they contain the chemicals banned from more recent production, they also have had years to accumulate pounds of dust mites, dirt, pesticides and other toxins brought in on shoes, feet and pet’s paws. Did you know that your carpet can hold 8 times it’s weight in toxin filled dirt and you can’t even see the trapped dirt that your carpet is hiding!

I could go on and on, but I will save that for later. Just know, the carpet that feels so soft under your feet is not as nice as it seems, which is why I opt for rugs. Mohawk Home has some fabulous rugs that you will love and that will love you!

I picked out the Compton Stripe Oyster Shell Accent Rug. In winter, my little feet get cold walking on my bare kitchen floor, so this rug is perfect for right next to the stove, where I spend a lot of time making meals.
Check out how nicely it fits into my kitchen.
