Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug in its desired location.
- Flatten: If the rug has temporary creases from packaging, lay it flat for 24-48 hours to allow it to settle. You can also gently back-roll it in the opposite direction to speed up the process.
- Positioning: Place the rug on your chosen floor surface. Ensure it lies flat without any bumps or curls.
- Enhance Grip (Optional but Recommended): For optimal stability on very smooth surfaces such as hardwood, laminate, or tile, we strongly recommend placing a 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug. This will prevent any potential slippage.
Compatibility
The Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug is suitable for any location in the home, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, dining areas, and even playrooms. Its durable, washable, and mould-resistant properties make it versatile for various indoor environments. It is compatible with different floor types, with enhanced safety provided by its non-slip backing.
Care Instructions
- Washing: The rug is machine washable at 40C. Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's size and weight when wet. Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Line dry or lay flat to dry. Avoid tumble drying as this can damage the backing. Ensure the rug is completely dry before placing it back on the floor.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and dab gently, then rinse with a damp cloth.
- Regular Maintenance: Vacuum regularly (without a beater bar, or on a low setting) to remove loose dirt and debris. The anti-shedding feature means minimal fiber loss, but occasional light vacuuming will keep it fresh.
- Fluffing the Pile: To restore the shaggy pile's loft, gently shake the rug or use your hands to fluff the fibers.
