Area rugs, runners and rug care, with safety first. Loose rugs are a common cause of falls, especially for older adults: put a non-slip pad or double-sided rug tape under every rug, or remove small throw rugs, as the CDC advises. Vacuum often, blot spills right away, and check the label before washing; washable rugs make pets and kids easier. If you want a handmade rug made without child labor, look for the GoodWeave label. Stores below are commercial.
