Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your HILA rug in its desired location. New rugs may have temporary creases or curl at the edges. To help it flatten, reverse roll the rug or place heavy objects on the corners for a day or two.
- Placement: Position the rug to best complement your furniture arrangement and room's flow. For high-traffic areas, consider placing a non-slip rug pad underneath (sold separately) to prevent movement and provide extra cushioning (Info needed: Is a rug pad recommended/required for this rug's backing material?).
Compatibility
- Interior Styles: Perfectly complements modern, Scandinavian, and minimalist interior designs.
- Flooring: Suitable for most indoor flooring types. Its jute/cotton backing provides stability.
- Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with underfloor heating systems.
- Cleaning Devices: Designed to be robot hoover friendly due to its moderate pile height.
Care Instructions
To ensure your HILA rug maintains its beauty and longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a brushless suction head or on a high pile setting to remove dirt and dust, preventing it from settling into the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: For small stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and a mild detergent mixed with water. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and damage the fibers. Blot from the outside of the stain inwards.
- Loose Threads: If you notice any loose rug threads, do not pull them out. Carefully cut them with sharp scissors to prevent unraveling.
- Deep Cleaning: The rug is hand washable. For larger or more stubborn stains, or general deep cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended due to the rug's size.
- Spills from Children or Pets: Act quickly. Blot liquids with a clean, dry cloth. For solids, remove as much as possible before blotting with a mild detergent solution.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals, bleaching agents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the rug's material and colors.
