FAQs
How do I clean my Homemaker Rug?
The rug should only be surface shampoo cleaned. Do not machine wash or submerge it in water. For minor spills, blot immediately. Avoid ironing.
Is this rug safe for use on hard floors like wood or tile?
Yes, it is, thanks to its anti-slip gel backing. However, for internal use on very smooth hard flooring, it is advisable to use an additional anti-slip rug grip to prevent any potential slippage.
Can I use this rug outdoors?
Yes, its durable and hard-wearing flatweave pile, made from 100% polypropylene, makes it suitable for high-traffic areas both inside and outside the home.
What is the gel backing for?
The anti-slip gel backing is a practical feature designed to help prevent the rug from sliding and shifting on your floor, enhancing stability and safety.
What material is the Homemaker Rug made from?
The rug is made from 100% Polypropylene Pile, known for its durability, hard-wearing nature, and ease of care.
What is the weight of the rug?
The rug has a weight of 1.2kg per square meter.
Can I iron this rug to remove creases?
No, the care instructions explicitly state 'Do not iron'. Ironing can damage the polypropylene fibres and the gel backing of the rug.
Is the Homemaker Rug comfortable underfoot?
The rug features a flatwoven pile, which provides a firm and durable surface. While not as plush as high-pile rugs, its texture is comfortable and practical for high-traffic areas.
Troubleshooting
Rug is slipping on my smooth hard floor.
While the rug has an anti-slip gel backing, for optimal safety and to prevent slippage on smooth internal hard flooring (like wood, tile, or laminate), it is strongly recommended to use an additional 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug.
There's a stain or dirt on the rug.
This rug is designed for surface shampoo cleaning only. Use a suitable rug shampoo product according to its instructions to gently clean the affected area. Do not machine wash the rug, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners.
The rug appears creased or won't lie completely flat after unrolling.
Lay the rug flat in its intended position and allow some time for it to settle. The flatwoven pile should naturally flatten out over a few days with regular use. You can also try gently rolling it in the opposite direction for a short period before laying it flat again.
The rug looks dull or dirty over time.
Regular vacuuming is essential to remove surface dirt and debris. For a deeper clean and to refresh its appearance, perform a surface shampoo clean as per the care instructions. The durable polypropylene is designed to maintain its look with proper care.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll and Place: Carefully unroll the Homemaker Rug in your desired location.
- Ensure Flatness: Allow some time for the rug to settle and flatten out completely, especially after being rolled for packaging.
- Enhance Grip on Smooth Surfaces: If placing the rug on smooth internal floors (e.g., hardwood, tile, laminate), it is highly recommended to use a separate 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath. This will provide optimal anti-slip performance and prevent movement.
Compatibility
- Indoor/Outdoor Use: The durable polypropylene construction makes this rug suitable for both internal and external high-traffic areas.
- Flooring Types: Compatible with most flooring surfaces. For smooth internal floors, an anti-slip rug grip is advisable.
Care
- Cleaning: The rug is designed for surface shampoo clean only. Apply a suitable rug shampoo according to its instructions, gently clean the affected area, and blot dry.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming with a non-beater bar attachment is recommended to remove loose dirt and debris.
- Do Not Iron: Do not iron the rug, as this can damage the polypropylene fibres and gel backing.
- Professional Cleaning: For deeper cleaning or stubborn stains, consult a professional rug cleaner who specializes in polypropylene flatweave rugs.
