How To Be Eco Friendly With Carpets?
- Look for carpets made from natural fibers. Stay away from nylon, petroleum or resource intensive products.
- Some treatment chemicals harm the environment, especially those chemicals used to remove stains. A good idea is to use chemicals to the minimum.
- Recycle previous carpets. Choose companies who recycle old carpets while buying new ones.
