Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully unroll the Buddy Rug from its packaging.
- Placement: Choose a clean, dry, and flat surface for your rug. Ensure the floor area is free of debris to maximize the effectiveness of the non-slip backing.
- Flattening: If the rug has creases from packaging, gently bend them in the opposite direction or allow it to lay flat for a day or two; gravity will help it settle.
Compatibility
The Buddy Rug is designed for versatile use throughout your home. Its non-slip backing makes it suitable for hard flooring surfaces like wood, laminate, tiles, and even carpeted areas where extra stability is desired. Available in a wide range of colours and sizes, it can complement various interior designs and fit different room dimensions, from small entryways to larger living spaces. The grey colour variant offers a neutral and contemporary aesthetic that easily blends with diverse décor styles.
Care
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar (or with the beater bar turned off) to avoid damaging the long pile. This helps remove loose dirt and maintain the rug's appearance.
- Stain Treatment: For fresh spills, act quickly. Blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, then blot dry.
- Machine Washing: The Buddy Rug is machine washable at 40°C. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Wash dark colours separately if necessary.
- Drying: After washing, the rug is quick dry. Air dry flat or hang dry. Avoid direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent potential discolouration, even though it is fade resistant. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean, as these can damage the rubber backing and fibres.
- Storage: If storing, roll the rug rather than folding to prevent creases, and keep it in a dry place.
