Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully unroll the rug from its packaging.
- Flatten: If the rug has creases from shipping, lay it flat. You can place heavy objects (like books) on the corners for a day or two to help it settle. Reverse rolling it temporarily can also help flatten it.
- Placement: Position the rug in your desired location. For safety and to prevent slipping, especially on hard floors, consider using an anti-slip rug pad underneath.

- Material: Made from 100% polypropylene.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure your Melrose Jazz Shaggy Rug remains vibrant and plush:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting. Avoid using a beater bar or rotating brush on the deep pile, as this can damage the fibres. Vacuum in different directions to lift and fluff the pile.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For tougher stains, use a mild rug cleaner solution, testing it on an inconspicuous area first. Rinse with a damp cloth and blot dry.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically.
- Rotation: Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: While colour fast, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can still contribute to fading over many years.
- Pet Care: For pet owners, regular vacuuming is essential to remove pet hair from the deep pile.
