Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack Carefully: Remove the rug from its packaging. You may notice some creases initially from shipping; these will typically flatten out within a few days of laying the rug flat.
- Choose Location: Select a clean, dry, and flat surface for your rug. Ensure the area is free from debris that could interfere with the non-slip backing.
- Position the Rug: Lay the rug flat on the desired spot. Ensure the non-slip rubber backing has full contact with the floor for maximum safety and stability.
Compatibility
- Floor Types: The Buddy Rug is compatible with most hard flooring surfaces, including wood, laminate, tile, and vinyl, thanks to its effective non-slip backing.
- Room Placement: Its durable and washable nature makes it suitable for virtually any room in your home, including busy areas like kitchens, hallways, living rooms, dining rooms, and children's play areas.
- Underfloor Heating: > Info needed: [compatibility with underfloor heating]
Care Instructions
To ensure your Buddy Rug remains in excellent condition and continues to offer its full benefits, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or with the beater bar set to a high pile height, to remove loose dirt and maintain the pile.
- Machine Washing: For deeper cleaning, the rug is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (`40C`). Use a mild detergent.
- Drying: After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry flat. Ensure the rug is completely dry before placing it back on the floor to prevent mildew.
- Stain Treatment: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tough stains, pre-treat with a suitable rug cleaner before machine washing.
- Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the fibers and colour.
- Storage: If storing, roll the rug tightly with the pile facing inwards and store in a dry, cool place.
