If jute is so often touted as being a "natural, fast-growing, sustainable material," then it bloody well ought to be cheaper when it is made into rugs because dog vomit and sippy cup drips don't come out of the damn things!
Note to all: Despite the appealing photos in Pottery Barn and Restoration Hardware catalogs, DO NOT BUY JUTE RUGS if you have a pet, child, or husband. Actually, if you have FEET, you may want to reconsider this purchase.

I've become so adorably redneck since I moved up here. The "welcoming" rug on the floor of our "foyer" is a commercial grade, navy blue carpeting with a rubber-matting base. From a friend of ours who works for a vending/commercial services company. Gratis.
Jute or no Jute...bugs: Trish, after having my windows/doors replaced, I found larvae and white crawly bugs....freaking out and living in denial about termite possibilities, I finished staining and varnishing the WOOD window trim last night and finally called your recommended International Exterminators of Elk Grove for help. Within 45 seconds he exterminated my fears and let me go without squeezing me for business. They rock!!! I don't have termites, nor time and money spent on discovering that easy truth. Thanks for the recommendation!
Yeah, I wanted a jute rug until we were at the store and I was running my hand over it and got a massive piece of jute stuck in my hand...it was like the biggest splinter ever.
That's when hubby turned to me and said "now, imagine if that was your foot."
I've never looked back.
