Skip unless seller discloses non-slip and stain-resist chemistry, silent on PFAS risk.
This Etsy rug advertises non-slip backing and stain resistance but provides no material or coating disclosure. Non-slip and water-repellent finishes on textiles commonly use PFAS-based treatments (particularly Teflon-family coating). Absence of PFAS claims, certifications, or ingredient transparency means you cannot verify safety.

Why this grade
Waterproof / stain-resistant treatment
water-repellent coating treatments have historically used PFAS.
Category baseline
furniture is a category where PFAS exposure is more common.
Vague safety claims only
Uses vague language ("eco-friendly", "clean") without a specific PFAS statement.
What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 42% confidence. It is not a lab result.
No independent PFAS lab test is on record for this exact product. A lab test could move the score in either direction.
The brand has not made a specific, verifiable PFAS-free statement, so part of this score reflects that missing disclosure rather than a confirmed material.
Formulations and coatings change between production runs. Always check the current label before buying.
