What is this bizarre old oriental printed floor mat made of?
I just bought a very old house (1941) and I have been pulling out the old 80's carpet. I found what I am pretty sure is asbestos-containing vinyl tiles in the bathroom (which I already covered up with linoleum for now. But then I found this bizarre floor mat under the carpet in the living room. It was about 7' x9' and was printed to look like an oriental rug, but it was not cloth. It was a thin rigid mat made of god knows what. It was lacquered on the decorative printed side and felt like thin rubber or vinyl. The backing looked like thin particle board, kind of the texture of brown paper bags. It was about 1/8" thick and brittle. I cut it into pieces so I could remove it, and now I fear it may have been an asbestos-backed vinyl floor mat. Otherwise, why would they carpet over it.
Has anyone ever seen/heard of something like this and know what they were made of? Thanks.
It was likely some old linoleum rug. Linoleum flooring was manufactured by oxidizing linseed oil to form a thick mixture called linoleum cement. Cooled and mixed with pine resin and wood flour to form sheets, and baked in huge ovens.
You can see vintage linoleum rugs at Second Hand Rose, http://www.secondhandrose.com/linol/main.htm
Second Hand Rose claims that none of their vintage linoleum rugs contain asbestos. However, some linoleum flooring was made with asbestos. It depends on the manufacturer and age of the linoleum whether or not it contained asbestos.
The only way to know for sure is to take a small sample and send it in for testing. Your local Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) or something like that can provide you with the names of certified testing labs.
Usually as long as you don't sand or grind the flooring or use power saws to cut it then you'll probably not release much asbestos dust, if it contains any asbestos. Whoever carpeted over it probably had no idea whether or not it contained asbestos. They probably just didn't like the pattern or it had become worn, dull and dirty.
If you did sand it or do something that you think may have released asbestos dust then mopping it frequently with a damp mop will pickup dust that may have formed.
You have de-cluttered your house. You have clipped and mowed your lawn so well it could be on the front cover of Homes Beautiful magazine. You bought a cheery Welcome mat for your front door, inviting potential buyers in where they will see your home in "Buy Me" condition.
But what about that lingering odor you can't smell, but others have oh-so-politely mentioned (or not).
In these days of adult-onset allergies and fragrance sensitivities, spraying a room with the latest commercial air spray may be a turn-off for buyers. However, there are a number of natural ways to freshen, or at least deodorize, the air in your home with products readily available at your local grocery store.
White Vinegar
For years, white vinegar has been well known to remove odors of all kinds – from animal urine to strong cooking aromas to fresh paint. * Do not use cider or red wine vinegar as they may stain.*
Spray solutions using a mixture of one teaspoon of vinegar, one teaspoon of baking soda and one pint of water are a ready-made, natural room freshener, with no lingering smells. This works to rid rooms of stale cigarette smoke, strong perfumes, and cooking odors.
A small dish or bowl of vinegar will draw odors from the room such as fresh paint. If a person has been ill in a room or car, especially children, mix equal parts of vinegar and water in a bowl and place it in the affected area for several hours, or overnight, to remove lingering odors.
Charcoal Briquettes
Place 2-3 fresh briquettes in an empty can or box close to the source of the smell to absorb odors within 48 hours. Replace every month.
Coffee Grounds
Fresh or used, dry coffee grounds can be very beneficial for deodorizing your home. Place the grounds in your refrigerator to absorb odors, similar to using baking soda.
If a room in your home has lingering scents, open a fresh can of coffee grounds and, if possible, close the doors and windows for a day or two. The grounds will absorb the smells.
Another suggestion is to place one or two cups of fresh coffee grounds in a paper lunch bag, then staple shut. These bags of freshness can be used anywhere stale odors are hanging around.
Baking Soda
In addition to being used in conjunction with white vinegar for cleaning, baking soda has been used for generations to deodorize the home. It is especially good for removing stale smells from carpets before your home is viewed by buyers.
Simply sprinkle baking soda over the entire carpet. Leave for at least one hour, or as long as you can if you will be out of the home during the day, or overnight. Then vacuum the carpet completely.
