Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting your Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug ready for use and keeping it in top condition is straightforward.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully unroll your new Buddy Rug in the desired location.
- Position: Adjust the rug to sit flat on your floor. Allow some time for any creases from packaging to settle out naturally.
- Secure (Recommended): For optimum safety and to prevent movement on smooth surfaces (such as wood, laminate, or tile), it is highly recommended to use a separate 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug. This will provide additional anti-slip security.
Compatibility
This rug is designed to be highly versatile and compatible with various home environments:
- Flooring: Suitable for use on most floor types, including carpet, wood, laminate, and tiles. Always use a 'Rug Grip Hold' on smooth surfaces.
- Rooms: Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, dining areas, children's rooms, and home offices.
- Sizes & Colors: Available in multiple sizes (60 x 100 cm, 80 x 120 cm, 140 x 200 cm, and a circular 100 cm diameter) and various colours to fit different spaces and decor styles. This specific guide is for the Blue variant.
Care & Maintenance
Following these simple care instructions will ensure your Buddy Rug remains beautiful and functional for years:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a brush-free attachment to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using a rotating brush bar, which can damage shaggy pile.
- Machine Washing: For deeper cleaning or stubborn stains, machine wash the rug at 40C. Use a mild detergent. Ensure your washing machine is large enough to accommodate the rug size without overcrowding.
- Drying: After washing, reshape the rug and allow it to air dry flat or hang dry. Avoid tumble drying to protect the non-slip backing and pile integrity.
- Stain Treatment: Thanks to its stain-resistant properties, many common spills can be blotted immediately with a clean cloth before washing. For specific listed stains (tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, non-oil based make-up), the rug's material is designed for easy removal during washing.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong chemical cleaners, as these can damage the rug's fibres and colours.
