Earth Weave is a carpet mill that makes all of its own Bio-floor carpet in the USA. They were the first carpet manufacturer to use only natural materials such as industrial hemp and natural latex, all of which are 100% biodegradable. Unlike most carpet manufacturers that use toxic dyes, moth-proofing and stain protection, Earth Weave uses nothing synthetic in the face yarns, backing or adhesive.

NOTE: Yarn lot variances occur in natural fiber carpets; therefore, actual merchandise is not guaranteed to match these samples. Because natural fiber carpets vary in texture and color, slight variances in texture and color are normal and do not constitute a manufacturing defect. As with all quality natural fiber carpets, vacuuming with a suction-only vacuum cleaner is recommended. Beater bar vacuum cleaners may damage the surface pile of this product. Proper vacuuming on a regular basis will increase performance. Use only wool approved cleaners for removing stains. Do not vigorously rub the affected area. Lightly blot area instead. If stain persists, contact a professional cleaner, and be sure they use cleaners designed for wool and natural fibers.
