Rug Natural

What is the difference in color between natural and winter white flokati?

I want to purchase a flokati rug for my living room and have been browsing online. I want a subtle off white. The two I keep finding are natural white and winter white. It is extremely hard for me to tell the difference on my computer monitor because everything tends to look yellow. Can anyone tell me the difference? Thanks, I appreciate it!

Winter white is whiter than natural white.

A way to remember this is that it snows in the wintertime and snow is white.

Natural white has slight, slight tan undertones.

Natural Rug Pads

You may purchase a rug pad based on a few criteria. For price only, you can find many inexpensive rug pads that may perform in the short run yet may be damaging in the long run. If overall quality is an issue to you, a natural rug pad works great. Whether it be natural rubber, recycled jute or a combination of the two, natural rug pads are great for air quality, safe for floors and rugs, are nonallergenic and are usually odor free.

I would consider two types of rug pads in the natural rug pad category. First, there is a great rug pad made from recycled fibers and natural rubber. This rug pad is reversible and works for rugs on hard floor surfaces as well as for rugs on carpet. Here, the top layer is a needle punched recycled jute usually made from extra wool and nylon carpet fibers. This surface is mold and mildew resistant and odor free. The bottom layer is composed of a natural, solid rubber. It is important to be sure that this layer is real rubber and not a rubber like substance. In the real version, a solid rubber layer is sewn on to the jute surface to create a very solid and durable pad. Since the rubber is natural, you may notice the slight odor of rubber when you first receive the pad and this smell usually disappears rather quickly. I have heard from many people that their room smells like some sort of latex whenever they walk in. This is not from natural rubber but rather from a sprayed on latex that does not react very well with your rug and floor.

Another great rug pad to consider, particularly if your rug does not have a slipping issue, is one made from 100% recycled fibers. This rug pad is made to replace the hair and jute rug pads from years ago with the differences being that this one is odor free and mold and mildew resistant. Recycled wool and nylon carpet fibers are needle punched together to create a nicely dense rug pad. The heavier the weight of the pad, the better it is and a 40 ounce weight works best. This provides a pad dense enough to protect your rug and floor while also adding just shy of a half of an inch of comfort under your rug.

Natural rug pads are great for use with every rug in your home. For rugs that slip, choose the jute and rubber pad and for room size rugs, the recycled 40 ounce jute pad works great. Both pads are rated safe for floors and should last a very long time. You may see these types of rug pads at Rug Pad Corner where you can have the right pad custom cut to the size of your rug.
