Frequently Asked Questions

What should I look for when buying non-toxic furniture?

1. Foam and flame retardants 2. Finishes and adhesives 3. Fabric treatments (stain-resistant)

What ingredients should I avoid in furniture?

"Stain-resistant," strong odors, pressed wood with formaldehyde

How do I care for non-toxic furniture?

Secondhand furniture has already off-gassed and costs less — one of the best options. New solid wood with natural oil finishes (tung oil, linseed oil) are safer than polyurethane. Open windows during break-in period for new furniture.

What greenwashing should I watch for with furniture?

"Eco-friendly" furniture often still uses conventional foam and stain treatments. "Solid wood" doesn't tell you about the finish — polyurethane finishes off-gas VOCs. "Formaldehyde-free" MDF may use other adhesives that off-gas.
