Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully unroll the Buddy Rug in your desired location.
- Position: Place the rug on a clean, dry, and level floor surface. Ensure there are no debris or liquids underneath that could compromise the non-slip backing's effectiveness.
- Flatten: If the rug has temporary creases from packaging, they will typically relax within 24-48 hours. You can speed this up by reverse rolling the rug or placing heavy objects on the corners.
Compatibility
The Buddy Rug is designed to be highly versatile and suitable for any location in the home, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, kitchens, and playrooms. Its wide range of colours and sizes ensures it can complement various interior designs and room dimensions. The non-slip backing makes it safe for use on most hard flooring surfaces like wood, laminate, tile, and vinyl.
Care Instructions
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using a low-power setting or a hard floor attachment to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using beater bars on the long pile to prevent damage.
- Machine Washing: For deeper cleaning or set-in stains, the rug is machine washable at 40C. Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach. After washing, reshape and lay flat or hang to dry away from direct sunlight. Ensure the rug is completely dry before placing it back on the floor.
- Stain Treatment: For spills, act quickly. Blot liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth. For solid stains, gently scrape off excess before blotting. The rug's stain resistance is effective against many common stains; however, immediate action improves removal success. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Maintenance: The rug's anti-shedding and fade-resistant properties ensure long-term durability. Regular rotation can help distribute wear evenly, especially in high-traffic areas.
