Q:Safe for hardwood flooring? It does not list it as safe on the comparison chart. others say hardwood, this one does not. Someone commented earlier that NO because of PVC. Safavieh says yes it is safe for hardwood flooring. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - just spent $7000 on flooring, do not want to risk ruining it. Is it, or isn;t it safe for solid hardwood flooring?

A: Hi Eileen. The only type of flooring we do not recommend using our rug pads for are on vinyl flooring. With that said, it would be fine to use on solid hardwood flooring. Thank you for your inquiry.

A: Hi Sandy, it is natural for all rugs to have a "new rug odor." This can be easily solved by dropping a little bit of baking soda and vacuuming (with a brush-less beater). We also advise leaving the rug to air out. The odor should disappear after a few weeks. Thanks for choosing The Home Depot.
