Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Setting up your Homemaker rug is simple:
- Unroll the rug: Carefully unroll the rug in your desired location.
- Flatten if needed: If the rug has creases from packaging, gently roll it in the opposite direction or place heavy objects on the corners for a few hours to help it flatten.
- Apply Rug Grip (for hard floors): If placing on a hard floor surface (e.g., wood, tile, laminate), unroll a suitable rug grip first and then place the rug on top. This is crucial for preventing slips and extending the rug's life.
Compatibility
- Floor Types: Compatible with all floor types, including hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpet. A rug grip is specifically recommended for hard floors.
- Room Suitability: Its hard-wearing nature makes it suitable for any room, including high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, and dining rooms, as well as bedrooms.
Care
- Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and a mild surface shampoo. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. Follow the shampoo's instructions.
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. Use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or set it to a high pile setting to avoid damaging the fibers.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Do not saturate the rug with water or cleaning solutions. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically.
