5'x7' Washable Solid Machine Tufted Area Rug Blue - Threshold
Lower-concern entry, but Threshold makes no PFAS disclosure, typical for floor rugs.
Threshold's machine-tufted area rug is made from synthetic fibers (polypropylene or polyester blend) without disclosed stain-resist coatings. Floor rugs carry lower inherent PFAS risk than outdoor/stain-treated textiles, but Threshold offers no transparency on treatments or certifications.

What we don’t know
This grade is a model-based estimate from public materials, coatings, and brand disclosure at 68% 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.
