FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of this rug?
This specific rug measures 160 cm in width and 230 cm in length.
Is the rug suitable for pets?
Yes, the durable polyester material and low pile make it relatively easy to clean. The non-slip backing also adds safety. However, like all rugs, it can be subject to wear and tear from pets.
How do I clean pet accidents or spills?
Blot up any spills immediately with a clean cloth. For stains, use a mild carpet cleaner, testing it on a small, hidden area first. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure the rug dries thoroughly.
Can this rug be used outdoors?
No, this rug is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to the elements can damage the material and backing.
Will the colours fade over time?
Polyester generally has good colourfastness, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. It's advisable to use curtains or blinds to protect the rug from intense sun.
What type of vacuum cleaner should I use?
A standard vacuum cleaner with a suction-only setting is recommended. Avoid using a beater bar or rotating brush, as this can damage the short pile fibers.
How long does it typically take for creases to disappear?
Creases usually flatten out within 24-48 hours when the rug is laid flat in a warm environment. For persistent creases, placing heavy books on them can expedite the process.
Troubleshooting
Rug has creases from shipping
Lay the rug flat in a warm room for 24-48 hours. Placing heavy objects like books on the creases while flat can also help them disappear.
Rug is not lying flat
Ensure the rug is laid on a flat, even surface. Check that the non-slip backing is fully in contact with the floor. Allow time for the rug to settle.
Slipping on hard floors
Verify the non-slip backing is clean and intact. For added security, consider using an additional rug gripper pad designed for hard floors.
Visible wear in high-traffic areas
Regularly vacuum to remove grit that can damage fibers. Consider rotating the rug periodically (e.g., every 6 months) to ensure even wear.
Stain removal is difficult
Blot spills immediately. For stubborn stains, use a mild carpet cleaner specifically designed for synthetic fibers, and always test in an inconspicuous area first. Professional cleaning may be required for set-in stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the rug carefully upon arrival.
- If creases are present from packaging, lay the rug flat in a warm room for 24-48 hours to allow them to naturally dissipate. Placing heavy books on creases while laying flat can also help.
- Position the rug in your desired location. Ensure the non-slip backing is in contact with the floor.
Compatibility:
- Underfloor Heating: This rug is compatible with underfloor heating systems. Ensure proper installation of your heating system and the rug according to manufacturer guidelines.
- Flooring Types: Suitable for a variety of hard floor surfaces. For use on carpet, a rug gripper may be necessary to prevent slipping.
Care Instructions:
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug using a standard vacuum cleaner. For short pile rugs, a suction-only setting is often sufficient. Avoid using a beater bar, as this can damage the fibers over time.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild carpet cleaner and a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, consider professional carpet cleaning or use a carpet shampoo suitable for synthetic fibers, following the product's instructions carefully. Ensure the rug is thoroughly dried afterwards.
- Drying: If the rug becomes wet, ensure it is dried thoroughly and laid flat to prevent mildew and damage. Do not place in a tumble dryer.
