FAQs
Is this rug suitable for homes with pets or children?
Yes, its hard-wearing 100% Heatset Polypropylene construction and easy-to-clean pile make it very suitable for busy households with pets or children, as it can withstand spills and frequent use.
Do I need a rug grip for this rug?
Yes, it is highly recommended to use a rug grip, especially if placing the rug on hard floors. This prevents the rug from slipping, bunching, and wrinkling, ensuring safety and maintaining its appearance.
How do I clean spills or stains on the rug?
For spills, immediately blot with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For more stubborn stains, use a mild surface shampoo specifically designed for rugs, following the product's instructions. Always test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
What is 'Heatset Polypropylene'?
Heatset polypropylene refers to a specific treatment process applied to the polypropylene fibers. This process permanently sets the yarn twist, making the fibers more resilient, enhancing pile retention, improving stain resistance, and ensuring colors remain vibrant.
Can this rug be used outdoors?
No, this rug is designed and manufactured for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the material and affect its longevity.
What does the 2150gsm weight mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter' and is a measure of the rug's pile density. A weight of 2150gsm indicates a relatively dense and substantial rug, contributing to its durability, comfort, and luxurious feel underfoot.
Troubleshooting
Rug is slipping or bunching on a hard floor.
Purchase and place a suitable rug grip (anti-slip pad) underneath the entire rug. This will anchor it in place, preventing movement and wrinkles.
Stain on the rug.
Immediately blot the stain with a clean, white cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Do not rub. For persistent stains, apply a small amount of surface shampoo designed for rugs to a clean cloth, then blot the stain. Rinse by blotting with a damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Rug has creases or wrinkles from packaging.
Lay the rug flat in its desired position. Reverse roll the creased areas (roll the rug against the crease direction) or place heavy, flat objects on the creased sections for 24-48 hours. The creases should relax over time with use.
Rug pile looks flattened in high-traffic areas.
Regularly vacuum the rug to lift the pile. For stubborn flattening, you can gently brush the pile against its natural direction with a soft brush, or consider rotating the rug to distribute wear more evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Flooring: Compatible with most flooring types, but a rug grip is essential for hard surfaces like wood, laminate, tile, and concrete.
Care
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a suction-only vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using a beater bar, which can damage the pile.

- Rotate Rug: To ensure even wear and exposure to sunlight, rotate your rug every few months.
