Troubleshooting
Rug not lying completely flat or has visible creases
Unroll the rug and re-roll it tightly in the opposite direction. Leave it like that for a few hours or overnight. Alternatively, place heavy books or furniture on the creased areas for a few days to help flatten it out. The creases are usually temporary from packaging and will relax over time.
Spills or stains on the rug
Blot liquid spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth or paper towel. Do not rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For solid spills, scrape gently with a dull knife. For stubborn stains, use a small amount of mild carpet cleaner on a clean cloth and blot, then dab with a damp cloth and blot dry.
Rug appears to be shedding
While this rug is designed to be non-shedding, new rugs can sometimes release loose fibers or dust from manufacturing. Regular vacuuming (1-2 times a week) with a brush-less attachment on a low setting for the first few weeks should remove any residual fibers. True shedding is rare with heat-set polypropylene.
Rug is slipping on hard floors
To prevent the rug from slipping and for added safety, we recommend using a non-slip rug pad underneath. This will also provide extra cushioning and help protect your flooring.
Dull appearance or matted pile over time
Regular vacuuming is key to maintaining the pile's appearance. Use a vacuum with strong suction but avoid beater bars that can damage the fibers. For matted areas, gently brush the pile with your fingers or a soft-bristled brush to lift the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your new rug in its desired location. It may have temporary creases from packaging.
Flattening: For any creases, roll the rug in the opposite direction or place heavy, flat objects (like books) on the affected areas overnight. Most creases will naturally disappear within a few days to a week.
Positioning: Ensure the rug is placed on a clean, dry surface. Consider using a non-slip rug pad for added safety and to prevent movement, especially on hard floors.
Compatibility
Underfloor Heating: This rug is specifically designed with low thermal resistance in its jute hessian backing, making it fully compatible and efficient with underfloor heating systems.
Room Suitability: Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, studies, and high-traffic hallways. Its durable construction can withstand daily use in active areas.
Decor Styles: Best complements contemporary, modern, and transitional interior designs due to its abstract pattern. While versatile, consider how the 'Cream' colour family and abstract pattern integrate with existing elements.
Care
Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a low-power setting or a brush-less attachment to remove dirt and dust. Vacuum in the direction of the pile.
Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For stubborn stains, use a mild rug cleaner solution, testing first on an inconspicuous area.
Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the fibers and alter the color.
Avoid Machine Washing: This rug is not suitable for machine washing.
Rotate: Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and color exposure, especially in areas with direct sunlight.
Storage: If storing, roll the rug tightly and wrap it in breathable fabric to protect it from dust and moisture.
