Troubleshooting
Rug appears creased or wavy after unrolling.
This is common due to packaging. Lay the rug flat and allow it to settle for 24-48 hours. For stubborn creases, you can gently reverse-roll the rug for a short period before laying it flat again.
Small stains are not completely removed with spot cleaning.
If spot cleaning is insufficient, proceed with machine washing the rug according to the care instructions: use a delicate cycle at 30°C with bleach-free detergent and air dry.
The rug's color looks different in my home compared to product images.
The rendering of rug colors can differ slightly based on the lighting in your home and the settings of your screen. Ensure your room has adequate natural or artificial light, and understand that minor variations can occur.
