I'm working at home depot now and doing a LOT of online training.

Key takeaway: almost all modern flooring is toxic. Holy crap! Carpet is the worst. The longer the expected life, the worse it is.

If you care about plastic toxicity, do not use most modern flooring in your home or place of business.

Fiat really does ruin everything.

Carpet is made of plastic?

Please Login to reply.

Yes, and some really gross ones, at that.

What do you recommend for flooring? Tile? Vinyl?

Vynil is cheap and durable but... I'm sure it is toxic.

I’m just wondering what is the right balance of safety for toddlers

Good old linoleum. Cheap, super durable, easy install, made from flax, will not off-gas like vinyl.

Is that flooring or something you place on top of the flooring?

That is the flooring.

Do they still make it from flax, though?

yes linoleum if it is real is linseed based. I have a real linoleum pad on my desk as a writing surface and it makes the whole desk a mouse pad.

It's more expensive than vynil flooring.

what most people refer to as lino nowadays is likely vynil or some other product like it.

Yes

I just got a nice wool area rug, pretty pricey but well worth it imo. Just be okay with it getting stained immediately 😂

It's hard to rug a whole house. 🤣

You could find actual wool carpeting I $uppo$e 🤷‍♂️

A lot of VOCs
