Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll: Carefully unroll your new Buddy Rug in its desired location.
- Flatten: If the rug has slight creases from packaging, gently reverse roll the affected areas or place heavy, flat objects on the corners for a few hours. The rug will typically settle and lie flat within 24-48 hours.
Compatibility
The Origins Buddy Rug is designed for versatile use throughout the home. Its non-slip rubber backing makes it compatible with most floor types, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpet. It is suitable for any room, from living rooms and bedrooms to kitchens and hallways, thanks to its durable and easy-care features.
Care
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a suction-only vacuum cleaner to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using a beater bar, which can damage the fibers.
- Machine Washing: For a thorough clean, machine wash the rug at 40°C. Use a mild detergent. Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's size. For larger rugs, a commercial-sized machine may be necessary.
- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Avoid high heat, which can damage the rubber backing and fibers. Ensure the rug is completely dry before placing it back on the floor to prevent moisture build-up.
- Stain Treatment: For fresh stains, blot immediately with a clean, damp cloth. For tougher, dried stains, pre-treat with a suitable rug cleaner before machine washing. Remember, it is not resistant to oil-based stains.
