Can’t afford to replace your
carpets but worry about chemicals released into the air? Just cover
them up! If you have carpeting that is there to stay, especially
newer carpet, throw down a natural-fiber area rug on top of it to limit
the amount of chemicals released into the air. Another option if you’ve
just installed standard new carpet is to air out the house for a few
weeks and let those new-carpet smells escape. Those odors are toxic
volatile organic compounds and no good for you. Then lay down your natural
fiber rugs to prevent further offgasing. LISTEN

I enjoy how you said they cover 1000 sins. If that were the case our rugs store surely would become something really big!
Great Idea, dont forget natural throw rugs are easy to wash and reuse in case you spill again on the permanent flooring.
