The world of area rugs hasn't changed much is the past few years. With the addition of Bamboo Shag Floor Rugs, things have changed quite a bit. These floor rugs are made with a new fiber that is 80 percent bamboo and 20 percent cotton. Because of the amount of bamboo in the fibers, these rugs are naturally hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial and anti-microbial. With all of the allergies that children have now, this type of rug provides a wonderful alternative for high traffic areas of the home. These rugs also are odor resistant which helps with homes that have pets. The type of fibers used to make these new Bamboo Shag Floor Rugs are very ecologically friendly. Bamboo plants are naturally resistant to insects and disease so they do not require any pesticides or chemicals to keep them growing. This all natural way of raising the plants makes them very friendly to the environment. Most of these rugs are also made with a 100 percent cotton backing. This backing combined with the super soft fibers make them beautiful rugs to accent any type of room. The stylish design of these rugs also make them a great fit with any type of existing flooring. Bamboo Shag Floor Rugs are also a special type of rug because the cotton backing is already included with the rug. This backing is naturally resistant to mold, mildew and water. This eliminates the need to buy an expensive rug pad to put down underneath it. Another great feature of the bamboo shag rug is that it is very easy to clean up with just a damp cloth or mop. Staying with the tradition of the shag rug, Bamboo Shag Floor Rugs have a lush, thick, deep pile and are very comfortable to walk on. Not only do these rugs bring a new level of style and elegance to a home, they provide a lot of comfort for walking through the home. These rugs also come in a multitude of colors to match any decorating style that is already present in your home. The combination of the bamboo and cotton in the rugs also makes their threads last much longer than a traditional rug. This adds to the durability of the rug and gives the owner something that will last several years while still retaining the stunning appearance. The bamboo floor rugs provide countless benefits and are a great step toward supporting a more environmentally friendly global economy.
