I just experienced this with one of my area rugs that I've had for years, and it's never been a problem until now. I was absolutely shocked at how much of the fine dust there was that showed up suddenly, just recently. I completely vacuumed the wood floor that it lay on, and vacuumed both sides of the area rug, and there is still a lot of the fine dust coming off of it (the dust also has a strange odor to it). Has anyone experienced this and if yes, what can be done about it? (I'm to the point where I'm tempted to throw out the area rug, which I'd hate to do since I really like it and it was somewhat costly.) Thanks for any info!

If the rug is on a hard wood floor the chemicals may damage the finish, if you’re not using a pad. You may want to be very careful of what you spray on the back of the rug.

I've been told there is a spray product you can use on the back of the rug to seal the rug and prevent the dust. Do you have this product or know where I can order it?
