FAQs
Can I tumble dry the Livabliss Athena rug?
No, it is strongly recommended to open-air dry the rug. Tumble drying can damage the rug's materials and structure.
Is this rug safe for my children and pets?
Yes, absolutely. The Livabliss Athena rug is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX certified, meaning it's free from harmful chemicals. It's also designed to be anti-static, antibacterial, hypoallergenic, and specifically labeled as kid & pet friendly.
What are the dimensions of this rug?
This particular Livabliss Athena rug measures 160 x 220 cm.
Can I use this rug in an outdoor setting?
No, the Livabliss Athena rug is designed and manufactured exclusively for indoor use.
How often should I machine wash the rug?
The frequency depends on your household's activity level and presence of pets/children. For high-traffic areas or homes with frequent spills, you might wash it more often. For general cleanliness, regular vacuuming should suffice between washes.
What type of detergent should I use for washing?
You should only use a bleach-free detergent to protect the rug's colors and material integrity. Select a mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics.
Will this rug work with my robot vacuum cleaner?
Yes, its low pile height of 1.5 mm makes it perfectly suitable for use with robot hoovers, allowing them to glide over it without issues.
Troubleshooting
Rug appears creased or has ripples after unrolling.
This is common after packaging. Allow the rug to lie flat for 24-48 hours. For persistent creases, you can gently reverse-roll the affected section for a short period, then unroll it again.
Stains are not completely removed after machine washing.
Ensure you pre-treat stubborn stains before washing. Verify that you are using a bleach-free detergent and washing at the recommended 30°C on a delicate or wool cycle. Repeat the wash if necessary, or consider using a specialized stain remover safe for chenille-polyester/cotton blends.
The rug feels damp even after the spin cycle.
Make sure your washing machine's spin cycle was set to the maximum recommended 600 rpm. If it still feels damp, you may need to run an additional spin cycle. Ensure adequate open-air drying time in a well-ventilated space to allow for full drying.
The rug's color appears different than expected in my home.
Colors can look different under various lighting conditions (natural vs. artificial light) and depend on your screen settings. The product description notes that rendering may differ slightly based on these factors. Try viewing the rug in different parts of your home and at various times of day.
Rug slips on my hard floor.
While the rug has a cotton backing, for maximum stability and safety on hard surfaces, we recommend using a non-slip rug pad underneath (sold separately).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unroll: Carefully unroll the rug in your desired indoor location. It may take a day or two for any temporary creases from packaging to settle and flatten completely.
Position: Place the rug on a clean, dry floor surface. For added grip, especially on smooth floors, consider using an anti-slip rug pad (sold separately).
Compatibility
Indoor Use: Designed exclusively for indoor environments.
Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
Robot Hoovers: The low pile height (1.5 mm) makes it suitable for use with robot vacuum cleaners.
Kid & Pet Friendly: Made with materials and dyes safe for children and pets.
Care Instructions
Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a low-power setting or without a beater bar to remove loose dirt and debris. This helps maintain the rug's appearance and prolongs its life between washes.
Spot Cleaning: For small, isolated stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and a mild, bleach-free detergent. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
Machine Washing: When a deeper clean is needed:
Pre-treat any stubborn stains before washing.
Place the rug in a large capacity washing machine.
Select a wool or delicate cycle.
Use a bleach-free detergent.
Wash at 30°C.
Spin at a maximum of 600 rpm to extract excess water gently.
Drying: Open-air dry the rug completely. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the materials. Lay flat or hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
Professional Cleaning: While machine washable, occasional professional cleaning can help refresh and extend the rug's life.
