What size washing machine do I need to clean the rug?

Troubleshooting

The rug has creases or lines after unrolling.

This is normal and temporary. Allow the rug to lie flat for a few days to settle. To speed up the process, gently fold it in the opposite direction of the crease, vacuum it, or place furniture on the affected areas.

The rug seems to be sliding on my hard floor.

The rug features a non-slip backing. Ensure the floor surface beneath the rug is clean, dry, and free of any debris or moisture. Verify the rug is laid flat without any folds that could compromise the backing's grip.

My rug has a noticeable stain and needs cleaning.

Machine wash the rug at 30°C on a low-speed cycle. Ensure your washing machine has at least a 10 kg capacity. Remember to air dry it flat and avoid tumble drying or using bleach.

The rug looks dull or isn't as bright as it once was.

Regular vacuuming helps maintain its freshness and vibrancy. For a deeper clean and to restore brightness, machine wash the rug according to the care instructions (30°C, low-speed cycle, air dry flat).

The rug seems to have shrunk slightly after washing.

A shrinkage of up to 5% after the first wash is a normal characteristic of this product's material blend. This is expected and does not impact the rug's quality or functionality.
