FAQs
Is this rug suitable for homes with pets?
Yes, the Melrose Maestro Traditional Rug is an excellent choice for pet owners. Its durable 100% Heatset Polypropylene construction resists wear from pet traffic, and its easy-to-clean nature makes pet hair and accidents simpler to manage.
Can I use this rug on heated floors?
Generally, polypropylene rugs are safe for use on heated floors. However, always consult your underfloor heating system's manufacturer guidelines regarding rug placement to ensure optimal performance and safety.
How do I get rid of the initial 'new rug' smell?
New rugs may have a slight odor due to manufacturing processes. This is harmless and typically dissipates within a few days. Ensure good ventilation in the room by opening windows and doors, and the smell will fade.
What kind of rug grip should I use?
We recommend using a non-slip rug grip made for hard surfaces, ideally one that is breathable and won't damage your floor. Choose a grip that is slightly smaller than your rug to ensure it is fully concealed.
Will the color fade over time?
While the Heatset Polypropylene is designed for colorfastness, prolonged direct exposure to strong sunlight can cause colors to fade over many years. Rotating your rug periodically and using window coverings can help protect its vibrancy.
Can I machine wash this rug?
No, this rug is not designed for machine washing. For thorough cleaning, professional rug cleaning services are recommended. For daily maintenance, refer to the spot cleaning and vacuuming guidelines.
Troubleshooting
My rug is slipping or wrinkling.
This is often due to the rug not having enough grip on the floor. Install a high-quality rug grip underneath the entire rug. This will anchor it firmly and prevent movement and wrinkles.
There are creases or ripples in my new rug.
Creases from packaging are common. Allow the rug to lie flat for several days; gravity will usually take care of them. You can also try reverse rolling the rug (pile side out) and letting it sit for a few hours, or placing heavy, flat objects on the affected areas overnight.
My rug seems to be shedding fibers.
Some shedding is normal for new rugs, especially polypropylene, and usually diminishes over time. Regular, gentle vacuuming (without a beater bar) will help to remove loose fibers. If shedding persists excessively, check your vacuum settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unpack and Unroll: Carefully unroll your rug in its intended location. It may have temporary creases from packaging; these typically flatten out within a few days. You can reverse roll it tightly for a few hours to speed up the process.
- Position: Place the rug in your desired area. Ensure it is centered and aligned with your furniture or room layout.
- Apply Rug Grip: For safety and to prevent movement or wrinkling, especially on hard surfaces, we highly recommend placing a suitable rug grip underneath the entire rug. This will help keep it firmly in place.

Care and Maintenance
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a non-beater bar setting or by lifting the vacuum and avoiding harsh brushes to remove dirt and dust. This is especially important in high-traffic zones.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a mild carpet cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Blot, do not rub.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough clean, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically.
- Rotate Regularly: To ensure even wear and tear, rotate your rug every 3-6 months.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Consider using blinds or curtains.
