Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack and Unroll: Carefully unroll your rug in the desired location. New rugs may have temporary creases or slight curling at the edges from packaging.
- Flattening: Allow the rug time to settle. Lay heavy objects (like books or furniture) on any stubborn curled edges overnight to help them flatten. Reverse rolling the rug briefly before laying it down can also help.
- Optional Rug Pad: For added stability, especially on hard, smooth floors, consider placing a non-slip rug pad underneath. This also provides extra cushioning and helps protect your flooring.

Care
Maintaining the Livabliss Kalix Abstract Rug is straightforward, ensuring its longevity and appearance:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting or a vacuum without a beater bar to prevent damage to the pile. This removes loose dirt and debris.
- Spot Cleaning Stains: For small spills and stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. Follow up by blotting with a mild detergent solution or a suitable carpet cleaner.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the polyester fibers and color.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consider professional rug cleaning services.
- Rotate Regularly: Rotate the rug every few months to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas or areas exposed to sunlight.
