For those with chemical sensitivities we only recommend two brands: Earth Weave and Nature's Carpet (dark green collection). Although we have other wool carpet lines, these are the two purest and safest. Both use only 100% wool with a natural rubber latex (instead of synthetic latex) primary backing, and jute (a plant fiber) as a secondary backing. Neither company adds any hazardous chemicals to their carpets�no moth protection, no toxic dyes, no stain guards or antimicrobials (fungicides or biocides). Each company offers several short berbers (tight looped style) for best wear and tear. Wool is naturally stain resistant because of the lanolin oil in it, and cleans up easily if done immediately after a spill. Wool retains its shape very well and keeps its bounce for decades...in fact, it generally lasts 3x longer than synthetic carpet! We also offer non-toxic wool padding for a long-lasting protection and nice cushy feeling.
