Product Information
Full details
The Homemaker Tropico Checker Rug is designed for homeowners and decorators looking to add a vibrant, modern aesthetic to high-traffic indoor or outdoor areas. Its primary benefit lies in its blend of striking checkered style and high-performance durability, making it perfect for active households or patio settings. Please note that while the material is water-resistant and hardy, it is not a plush, high-pile carpet, so users seeking a soft, sink-in feel underfoot may find the texture firmer than expected.

FAQs
Can I leave this rug outside in the rain?
While the rug is water-resistant, it is best suited for covered patios. Prolonged direct exposure to heavy rain may affect the longevity of the fibers.
How do I clean pet hair off the rug?
A standard vacuum with a beater bar or a rubber-bristled broom works effectively to pull pet hair from the weave.
Is this rug machine washable?
No, it is recommended to spot clean or hose down the rug gently outdoors and let it dry completely.
Can I use this on carpeted floors?
Yes, but you may want to use a rug pad underneath to prevent it from 'creeping' or bunching up over time.
What are the exact dimensions?
This variant measures 120cm wide by 170cm high.
Troubleshooting
The edges of the rug are curling up.
Reverse roll the rug in the opposite direction for a few hours or place heavy books on the corners until it lays flat.
Spilled liquid on the rug.
Blot the liquid immediately with a clean, dry cloth; do not rub, as this can push the spill deeper into the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your rug, unroll it flat on your desired surface and allow it 24 to 48 hours to fully settle and remove any curling from shipping. If using on a hard, slippery floor, consider adding a non-slip underlay to ensure safety. For maintenance, regular vacuuming is sufficient to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with a mild soap and water solution, then allow the rug to air dry completely. Ensure the area under the rug is kept dry to prevent mildew growth if used in an outdoor environment.
