Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the Buddy Rug truly machine washable?

Yes, the Buddy Rug is designed to be machine washable at 40°C. We recommend using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent to maintain its quality.

What types of stains is the Buddy Rug resistant to?

The Buddy Rug is resistant to many common stains including tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, and non-oil based make-up.

Can I use this rug on hard floors without it slipping?

Absolutely. The Buddy Rug features an advanced-grade non-slip rubber backing specifically designed to keep it securely in place on various hard floor surfaces like wood, laminate, and tile.

Will the rug shed fibres around my home?

No, the Buddy Rug is made with an anti-shedding long pile construction, so you should not experience issues with loose fibres.

Is the colour shown online an exact match to the product?

Due to photographic lighting and variations in device screens, the actual colour of the product may vary slightly from what you see online.

What material is the Buddy Rug made from?

The Buddy Rug is made from 100% Polypropylene, known for its durability, stain resistance, and ease of care.

How quickly does the rug dry after washing?

The Buddy Rug is designed with quick-dry properties, allowing it to dry relatively fast after being machine washed, minimizing downtime.

Troubleshooting

The rug doesn't lie completely flat or has creases.

Allow the rug to lay flat for 1-2 days. Gentle reverse rolling of any stubborn creases can help. Warm room temperature can also assist in relaxing the fibres.

The rug seems to be slipping on my floor.

Ensure the floor surface beneath the rug is completely clean and dry. Dust, dirt, or moisture can reduce the effectiveness of the non-slip backing. The backing performs best on clean, dry surfaces.

A specific stain isn't coming out after blotting.

For persistent stains, machine wash the rug at 40°C using a gentle cycle and mild detergent as per care instructions. For very tough, non-oil based stains, a pre-treatment designed for colour-safe fabrics might be used before washing, but always patch test first.

The rug's pile appears matted or flattened.

Regular vacuuming without a beater bar helps fluff the pile. You can also gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled brush against the grain to lift and restore its original texture. Avoid heavy furniture on the rug for extended periods.

Pros and Cons

Cons

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.
