The Homemaker Rugs Collection - Flatweave Rug - Black

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions To get the most out of your Homemaker Rug, follow these guidelines for setup, ensuring compatibility with your home, and proper care. ### Setup 1. Unroll and Position: Carefully unroll the rug in your desired location. 2. Ensure Flatness: Allow the rug to lie flat for a few hours. Any temporary creases from packaging should relax naturally. 3. Direct Contact: Make sure the anti-slip gel backing is in full, direct contact with a clean, dry floor surface for maximum grip. ### Compatibility - Floor Types: This rug is suitable for various indoor floor types, including wood, laminate, tile, and carpet. - Enhanced Stability: For optimal stability and safety on very smooth surfaces (e.g., highly polished tiles or hardwood), we strongly recommend using an additional 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug. This will maximize its anti-slip properties and prevent any potential movement. - Indoor Use: This rug is intended for indoor use only. ### Care - Cleaning: The rug requires surface shampoo cleaning only. Do not machine wash. - Spot Cleaning: For spills or small stains, immediately blot the affected area with a clean, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid rubbing vigorously. - Full Clean: For a more thorough clean, use a suitable rug surface shampoo according to its instructions. Always test the shampoo on an inconspicuous area first. - Drying: After cleaning, allow the rug to air dry completely. Do not use direct heat. - Do Not Iron: Never iron the rug, as this can damage the polypropylene fibers and the gel backing. - Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming without a beater bar attachment can help maintain the rug's appearance and remove loose dirt.
