Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully unroll your Buddy Rug in your desired location.
- Flatten: Allow some time for the rug to flatten out completely. Placing heavy objects on the corners overnight can help accelerate this process.
- Position: For optimal safety, especially on smooth surfaces like hardwood, laminate, or tile, we highly recommend using a 'Rug Grip Hold' (sold separately) underneath the rug to prevent any movement.
Compatibility
The Buddy Washable & Stain Resistant Rug is designed for use in any location in the home, from living rooms and bedrooms to hallways and kitchens. Its durable, stain-resistant, and hygienic features make it suitable for high-traffic areas, homes with children, and pet-friendly environments. It is compatible with various flooring types, but always ensure proper gripping for smooth floors.
Care
- Daily Maintenance: Vacuum regularly to remove loose dirt and debris. The anti-shedding design makes this process simple.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Machine Washing: When a deeper clean is needed, the rug is machine washable at 40C. Ensure your washing machine has adequate capacity for the rug size. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
- Drying: After washing, allow the rug to air dry completely. Lay it flat or hang it. Avoid direct heat or tumble drying, as this can damage the rubber backing and fibers.
- Long-Term Care: The rug is colour fast and fade resistant, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may still affect its appearance over many years. Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear.
