Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unroll the rug completely upon arrival. Allow it to lay flat for 24-48 hours to help eliminate any creases from packaging. For optimal performance, ensure the rug is placed on a clean, dry, and flat surface. Consider using a rug pad underneath for added grip and floor protection, especially on hard surfaces.
Compatibility:
This rug is compatible with most floor types, including hardwood, tile, laminate, and low-pile carpets. It is generally safe for use with underfloor heating, but always check your specific heating system's recommendations. The plain blue design makes it highly compatible with a wide range of color palettes and interior design styles, from modern to traditional.
Care:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum your rug regularly without a beater bar to remove surface dust and debris. For hand-woven rugs, vacuuming in the direction of the pile is recommended.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Work from the outside of the stain inward to prevent spreading.
- Machine Washing: This rug is designed to be machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent. Do not use bleach. Ensure your washing machine is large enough to accommodate the rug without overcrowding.
- Drying: After washing, gently reshape the rug. It is best to air dry the rug flat or hang it over a clothesline, avoiding direct sunlight for extended periods, which can fade colors. Do not tumble dry.
