Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your Jazz Shaggy Rug is simple with proper setup and care.
Setup
- Unpack and Unroll: Carefully unroll your rug in the desired location. It may take a day or two for any temporary creases from packaging to flatten out completely.
- Positioning: Place the rug in your chosen area. Ensure it is not obstructing doorways or creating a tripping hazard.
- Rug Grip Recommendation: For safety and to prevent movement, especially on hard floor surfaces (like wood, tile, or laminate), it is strongly recommended to use a `rug grip` underneath the rug. This will help keep it firmly in place and reduce the risk of slipping.
Compatibility
This rug is designed to be highly versatile and compatible with any area of the home where warmth, texture, and durability are desired. Its vibrant red colour allows it to be a focal point or a complementary accent in various interior designs.
Care & Maintenance
- Regular Vacuuming: The rug is easy to vacuum. Regular, gentle vacuuming helps maintain the pile and remove loose dirt and dust. For shaggy rugs, using a vacuum with adjustable height settings or a hose attachment can be effective.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, do not rub. Instead, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a `surface shampoo` specifically designed for rugs. Follow the shampoo manufacturer's instructions, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the polypropylene fibres or alter the colour.
- Rotate Periodically: To ensure even wear and exposure to light, rotate your rug every few months.
- Professional Cleaning: While generally easy to maintain at home, occasional professional rug cleaning can help prolong its life and refresh its appearance.
