What does a white powder on your shower rug mean.
Your shower bathtub.
It indicates that water has evaporated from the concrete.
The stuff is powdery and uniformly white or light in color if that helps.
Don t put a rug in your bathroom.
Efflorescence is proof that water was in the basement.
I have a new ikea wool rug and it does this too.
The white powder under your rug is latex and its powdery mess is a common occurrence with hand tufted rugs.
On mine at least it s definitely latex from the backing that s bonded to the rug.
In a powder room cavin winfrey prefers a pump bottle so there is no gooey soap bar left in a pool of water by a previous guest.
White residue and powder explained.
As a hand tufted rug owner you may notice a strange white powder or residue on the floor or padding when lifting up a corner of the rug.
I don t think a typical bath rug would look quite right since this is just off the entry foyer.
To understand what this powder is one must consider the construction technique of fabricating such a rug.
Trying to decide what type of rug to put in powder bath.
Hand tufted rugs are constructed from different parts that are glued together.
