Best non-toxic area rugs

Top pick: Earth Weave Catskill Natural Wool Area Rug — undyed, natural wool with no chemical finishes, the kind of rug people choose when they want nothing synthetic underfoot. It's the most genuinely non-toxic option here.

Who the others suit:

• SAFAVIEH Natural Fiber Sisal — plant-fiber, low-shed, holds up in busy rooms.
• Jute & cotton hand-woven rug — natural fibers, casual farmhouse look, good for a bedroom.
• Ruggable washable — if you need to machine-wash it often.
• Loloi wool — a wool option with more pattern choice.

Note: many of the cheap "washable" rugs are polyester or faux wool, so check fiber content before buying.
