FAQs
What material is the Melrose Traditional Rug made from?
The Melrose Traditional Rug is woven from soft, easy-to-clean polypropylene pile, known for its durability and resilience.
Is this rug suitable for homes with pets or children?
Yes, its hard-wearing quality and easy-to-clean polypropylene pile make it well-suited for active households. It can withstand significant foot traffic and is simple to maintain after spills, making it a practical choice for families with pets and children.
Do I need a rug pad or rug grip for this rug?
Yes, we highly recommend using a rug grip to keep the rug securely in place on smooth floor surfaces, prevent wrinkles and slipping, and potentially add an extra layer of cushioning.
How do I clean a spill on the rug?
For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth. Avoid rubbing. For tougher stains, use a surface shampoo specifically designed for rugs, applying it to a clean cloth and gently blotting the stain. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Can this rug be used outdoors?
No, the Melrose Traditional Rug is designed and intended for indoor use only. It is suitable for any area within the home, including high-traffic spaces.
What is the weight of this rug?
The Melrose Traditional Rug weighs 1.4 KG per Square Metre, indicating a substantial and well-constructed product.
How can I prevent the edges of the rug from curling?
Using a rug grip that extends close to the edges of the rug can help prevent curling. Ensuring the rug lies flat from the start and occasionally rotating it can also help.
Troubleshooting
Rug slides or bunches up on the floor.
Ensure a suitable rug grip is placed underneath the entire rug, especially on smooth flooring like hardwood, tile, or laminate. This will secure the rug in place and prevent movement and wrinkles.
Visible stains on the rug.
Immediately blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For persistent stains, apply a small amount of surface shampoo (designed for rugs) to a clean cloth and gently blot the stained area. Always test the shampoo in an inconspicuous spot first.
Rug appears dull or dirty despite vacuuming.
Ensure you are vacuuming regularly and thoroughly. For deeper cleaning, you may need to use a rug-specific surface shampoo following the care instructions or consider professional cleaning. Ensure the vacuum cleaner is set to a height appropriate for the rug's pile.
Fading or color dullness over time.
While polypropylene is fade-resistant, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can still cause some fading. Consider rotating the rug periodically to ensure even exposure, or use window coverings to reduce direct sun exposure.

Care and Maintenance
Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug using a suction-only setting (without a beater bar) to remove loose dirt and dust. Vacuum in different directions to pick up embedded particles.
Stain Treatment: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain and damage the pile. For tougher stains, use a surface shampoo specifically designed for rugs. Apply the shampoo to a clean cloth, then gently blot the stained area. Always test the shampoo on an inconspicuous area first.
Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consider professional rug cleaning services.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the polypropylene fibers and alter the rug's color.
Rotate Regularly: To ensure even wear and exposure, rotate your rug every few months.
