Why You Should Avoid Nylon Rugs

I’m taking a break from blogging about potty training (!) to answer reader questions. 
 
Hi,
 
Know anything about nylon rugs? I am trying to buy a rug for my son’s room and not spend too much, seems there are many nylon ones. Are they safe? I thought you'd probably know...
 
thanks,
 
Gillian
 
 
I do know! But before I tell you I’d like to start by saying that my approach to anything I’m bringing into my home is to first decide if I really need it. Whatever you bring into the home has the potential to also drag in unwanted chemicals, so this is a first step I force myself to take whenever I get a shopping urge. This is a legitimate question when it comes to rugs.
