FAQs

Is this rug truly machine washable?

Yes, the ALKA rug is designed for machine washing at 30°C. Use a delicate or wool cycle with bleach-free detergent and spin at a maximum of 600 rpm. Always air dry.

What material is the rug made of?

The rug is made from 100% Polyester with a cotton backing, making it durable and suitable for high-traffic areas.

Absolutely. It is Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified (free from harmful products), antistatic, antibacterial, and hypoallergenic, making it ideal for homes with kids and pets.

Can I use this rug outdoors?

No, the ALKA rug is specifically designed and recommended for indoor use only.

What are the dimensions of this rug?

The specific dimensions for this ALKA rug are 120 x 170 cm, with a pile height of 3.5 mm.

Will a robot vacuum work on this rug?

Yes, its low pile height of 3.5 mm ensures that most robot hoovers can navigate and clean the rug effectively without issues.

What does Oeko-Tex Standard 100 mean?

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification means that the rug has been tested for harmful substances and found to be free of them, ensuring it is safe for human use, including babies and small children.

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.

  • Highly durable construction suitable for high-traffic indoor environments.
  • Certified safe and free from harmful products (Oeko-Tex Standard 100).

  • Only designed for indoor use.
  • Low pile height (3.5mm) may not provide the plush comfort some users prefer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your new ALKA rug in your desired indoor location. It may take a day or two for any temporary creases from packaging to flatten out completely.
  2. Positioning: Adjust the rug to fit your space. For safety, consider using a non-slip rug pad underneath, especially on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile.

Compatibility

  • Indoor Use Only: This rug is designed exclusively for indoor environments.
  • Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with rooms that have underfloor heating systems.
  • Robot Hoovers: The low pile height and durable construction make it suitable for use with robot vacuums, ensuring hassle-free cleaning.

Care Instructions

Regular Maintenance

  • Vacuum Regularly: Use a standard vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or on a high-pile setting to remove dust and loose dirt.
  • Spot Clean: For small stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Machine Washing

  • Pre-wash Check: Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's dimensions (120 x 170 cm) and weight (2.14 kg).
  • Cycle Selection: Select a 'wool' or 'delicate' cycle.
  • Detergent: Add a bleach-free detergent.
  • Spin Speed: Set the spin cycle to a maximum of 600 rpm to prevent excessive wear.
  • Drying: After washing, open-air dry the rug. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry naturally.
