Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your new Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug in its desired location.
- Allow to Settle: It may take a day or two for any creases from packaging to flatten out. Gently rolling it in the opposite direction can help speed this process.
- Positioning: Place the rug in an area where you want to add warmth and comfort. For high-traffic areas, ensure edges are not a trip hazard.
- Optional Rug Grip: If placing on smooth floors (e.g., hardwood, laminate, tile), it is *recommended* to use a separate `Rug Grip Hold` underneath the rug for enhanced stability and to prevent movement.
Compatibility
This rug is highly versatile and compatible with most indoor floor types, including carpet (when placed on top), hardwood, laminate, tile, and vinyl. Its soft pile makes it comfortable in bedrooms, living rooms, nurseries, and hallways. The cream color provides a neutral base that complements various interior design styles.
Care Instructions
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or set it to a high pile setting, to remove loose dirt and maintain the shaggy pile's appearance.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can push the stain deeper. For tough spots, use a mild rug cleaner as directed by the product instructions.
- Machine Washing: The rug is washable. Follow the care label for specific washing instructions, typically a cool wash cycle with mild detergent. Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's size and weight. Line dry or tumble dry on low heat if permitted, ensuring it's fully dry before placing back on the floor.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong chemical cleaners, as these can damage the fibers and color.
- Rotate Regularly: To ensure even wear and exposure to light, rotate your rug periodically.
