Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll and Place: Simply unroll your Livabliss Athena rug in your desired indoor location. For best results, allow it to lay flat for 24-48 hours to settle any creases from packaging.
- Optional Rug Pad: While the cotton backing provides some grip, a non-slip rug pad (sold separately) is recommended for hard floors to prevent movement and add extra cushioning.
Compatibility
- Indoor Use Only: This rug is designed exclusively for indoor environments.
- Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
- Robot Hoovers: The low pile height (1.5 mm) makes it ideal for use with robot hoovers, allowing for hassle-free cleaning.
- Kid & Pet Friendly: Constructed to be resistant to the common wear and tear associated with children and pets.
Care Instructions
Regular Maintenance:
- Vacuum Regularly: Use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or on a low-pile setting to remove dust and loose debris. Regular vacuuming helps maintain the rug's appearance and prevents dirt from settling deep into the fibers.
- Blot Small Stains: For small spills or stains, immediately blot the area with a clean cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
Machine Washing (Deep Clean):
- Check Machine Capacity: Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's size (200 x 275 cm) and weight (7.98 kg) without overloading.
- Cycle Selection: Select a wool or delicate cycle on your washing machine.
- Detergent: Add a bleach-free detergent. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Spin Speed: Set the spin speed to a maximum of 600 rpm to avoid excessive stress on the rug and machine.
- Drying: Open-air dry the rug completely. Lay it flat or hang it over a railing in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent color fading. Do NOT tumble dry.
