Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your new ALKA rug in your desired indoor location. It may take a day or two for any temporary creases from packaging to flatten out completely.
Positioning: Adjust the rug to fit your space. For safety, consider using a non-slip rug pad underneath, especially on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile.
Indoor Use Only: This rug is designed exclusively for indoor environments.
Underfloor Heating: Fully compatible with rooms that have underfloor heating systems.
Robot Hoovers: The low pile height and durable construction make it suitable for use with robot vacuums, ensuring hassle-free cleaning.
Vacuum Regularly: Use a standard vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or on a high-pile setting to remove dust and loose dirt.
Spot Clean: For small stains, blot immediately with a clean cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Pre-wash Check: Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's dimensions (120 x 170 cm) and weight (2.14 kg).
Cycle Selection: Select a 'wool' or 'delicate' cycle.
Detergent: Add a bleach-free detergent.
Spin Speed: Set the spin cycle to a maximum of 600 rpm to prevent excessive wear.
Drying: After washing, open-air dry the rug. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat or hang to dry naturally.
