Option for floor that is creating dusty smell
Hi there,
Bought a house built in early 70s. In one of the room, there is a very basic sort of rug as you can see in picture. We smell dust in the room and I am sure this rug is the culprit. Whole room ( 10x12) has this rug other than this 9 inch very cheap type tile strip which is for I dont know what purpose.
When we lifted this rug, underneath is a very thin brown paper type cardboard spread throughout and underneath that there is something that we are not sure. Do you guys make out from picture what it is?
SO if it would be to me, I will throw that rug out today but then whole room will be exposed to that brown cardboard. Room is not being used other than some toys and we dont need this room immediately.
Should we just ask a professional to come and give estimates or something DIY is possible. whole house is dated so we don't want something extremely modern. It has to blend with other parts of house. Living room has a rug which is old too but much better than this cheap kind of rust color rug.
When flooring renovations are taken , does those involve starting from scratch? That rug, that brown paper and that 9 inch tile will go out for sure but what about the material below? does that stay or that goes out as well?
I am new to anything related to house so sorry if some questions sound stupid.

The end came for me (for light roast coffee) when the tasting notes at a light roast shop in Portland said: "Hints of citrus, star anise & coffee" - Unknown on the internet
