FAQs
Can I machine wash the George Home Checkerboard Rug?
No, this rug is recommended for spot cleaning only. Machine washing is not advised as it can damage the rug's texture and structure.
Is a rug grip necessary?
Yes, the use of a rug grip is strongly recommended. It helps prevent the rug from slipping on hard floors, enhancing safety and keeping the rug in place.
How do I remove a tough stain?
For tough stains, immediately blot (do not rub) with a clean cloth. Use a surface shampoo specifically designed for rugs, applying it as per the product instructions. If the stain persists, consider consulting a professional rug cleaner.
Will the rug shed?
Some initial shedding is normal for new shaggy rugs. Regular, gentle vacuuming (without a beater bar) or shaking out the rug should minimize shedding over time.
What kind of vacuum cleaner should I use?
We recommend using a vacuum cleaner with a brushless attachment or a setting for delicate rugs. Avoid using a strong beater bar, as it can pull and damage the shaggy fibers.
Is this rug suitable for outdoor use?
No, this rug is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage its materials and affect its durability.
Troubleshooting
Rug is sliding on the floor.
A rug grip is recommended. Place a non-slip rug grip underneath the entire rug to prevent movement and enhance safety.
Spill or stain on the rug.
Immediately spot clean with a surface shampoo. Blot the spill with a clean cloth; do not rub. Apply shampoo to a clean cloth, dab the stain, then blot with a clean, damp cloth until the stain is gone.
Rug looks flattened or matted.
Gently vacuum the rug using a brushless attachment or shake it out periodically. For deeper pile rejuvenation, you can gently rake the fibers with your fingers or a soft brush.
Edges of the rug curl up.
Reverse roll the curled edges overnight. If it persists, place heavy objects on the corners for a day or two to help them lie flat. A rug grip can also help secure the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully unroll your new rug in its desired location.
- Flatten: Allow the rug to settle. Any creases from packaging should relax within 24-48 hours. You can speed this up by reverse-rolling the rug for a few hours.
- Secure: A rug grip is strongly recommended for safety, especially on hard, smooth floors (e.g., hardwood, laminate, tile) to prevent the rug from slipping and bunching. Place the rug grip directly underneath the rug.
Compatibility
This rug is suitable for placement on most indoor floor types, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and even over existing low-pile carpet. Its soft texture is particularly beneficial on hard surfaces, adding warmth and cushioning.
Care
- Regular Maintenance: Vacuum regularly with a brushless attachment or shake the rug out gently to remove loose dirt and maintain fluffiness.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, act immediately. Blot (do not rub) the affected area with a clean cloth. Use a surface shampoo designed for rugs. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth, dab the stain, then blot dry with another clean, damp cloth. Always test the shampoo on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh cleaning agents, as these can damage the rug's fibers and color.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning, consider professional rug cleaning services.
