Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack the Rug: Carefully unroll your Buddy Rug in the desired location. Some temporary creasing may occur from packaging; this will naturally settle over 1-2 days.
- Placement: Position the rug in any room of your home. The non-slip backing provides good grip on most surfaces.
- Enhance Stability (Smooth Floors): If placing on very smooth surfaces (e.g., polished wood, laminate, tile), it is highly recommended to use a 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath for additional security and to prevent movement. Align the grip hold evenly under the rug.
Compatibility
The Buddy Rug is designed for universal home use, suitable for any room from living spaces and bedrooms to kitchens and hallways. It is available in various sizes to fit different area needs:
- 60 x 100 cm (23 x 39 in)
- 80 x 120 cm (31¼ x 47 in)
- 140 x 200 cm (55 x 78¾ in)
- Circular approx. 100 cm (39 in)
Care
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly to remove loose dirt and maintain the rug's shaggy pile.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain.
- Machine Washing: For deeper cleaning or stubborn stains, machine wash the rug at 40°C (104°F). Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's size and weight. Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
- Drying: Air dry the rug flat or hang it to dry. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading, although the rug is fade resistant. Do not tumble dry.
- Stain Resistance: The rug is stain resistant to many common spills including tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, and non-oil based make-up. Address spills promptly for best results.
