Can someone tell me where to find bathroom rugs without rubber or vinyl backing to use on luxury vinyl tile floors?
I should have indicated I’m trying to find something non-slip without backing that would damage my floors.Can someone tell me where to find bathroom rugs without rubber or vinyl backing to use on luxury vinyl tile floors?
Yes, beware of plasticizer migrationPlenty of options out there. You’ll want to make sure you get a non staining rug for sure.
A google search of “Bathroom rugs” will lead you to a few…Target sells these…

This is for a bathroom floor, so I need something non-slip. All the searching I’ve done always ends up when I look at details. Even though the rug is ok, the backing always has rubber of some kind.Yes, beware of plasticizer migration

I know it's been quite a while since you posted this, but I'm driving myself crazy looking for the same thing. I've tried so many different searches, but I'm experiencing the same problem as you. Once I look at the details, it's no good.Can someone tell me where to find bathroom rugs without rubber or vinyl backing to use on luxury vinyl tile floors?
Vinyl backed rugs will stain other vinyl.I don't understand the issue. I have wall to wall LVP, and rugs everywhere that have a rubber backing. Is my floor going to explode? It has been 5 years, and the only migration I see is the illegal migration at the border!
Very possible. You could also have a non-staining formulation of rubber backing. Usually, these types of rubber have less SBR and are thermoplastic. Thermoplastic or TP rubber is a blended rubber with vinyl content in it. This type of composition is what most "rubber" wall base is made out of today. Unless of course you're in California where thermoset (TS) SBR rubber wall base is commonly used. In our market here in Indiana we are primarily a vinyl wall base market (about 80%) with the remainder being TP rubber. I might get a request for TS rubber about once every 5 years.Maybe because my LVP is a commercial grade, made with stone dust, is why I've never seen any tracing, discoloration or staining?
