FAQs
Can I machine wash this rug?
No, this rug is not suitable for machine washing. It is designed for spot cleaning only. Machine washing can damage the fibers and backing.
Is this rug suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Traditional Medallion Woven Rug is strictly for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain and direct sunlight can cause damage and fading.
What does '2150gsm' mean?
'2150gsm' stands for 2150 grams per square meter. This measurement indicates the density and weight of the rug's pile. A higher gsm generally means a denser, more durable, and often higher-quality rug.
What type of shampoo should I use for cleaning stains?
Use a mild *surface shampoo* specifically designed for rugs or carpets. Always test the shampoo on an inconspicuous area of the rug first to ensure it doesn't cause discoloration.
How do I prevent the rug from fading?
While the Heatset Polypropylene is resistant to fading, prolonged direct exposure to strong sunlight can cause some discoloration over time. Rotate the rug periodically and consider using blinds or curtains to reduce direct sunlight exposure in high-sun areas.
Is this rug safe for homes with pets?
Yes, its durable and easy-to-clean polypropylene pile makes it a good option for homes with pets. Regular vacuuming will help manage pet hair, and spot cleaning is effective for accidents. Just be sure to use appropriate pet-safe cleaning solutions.
Troubleshooting
Rug slips or moves on hard floors.
This is common on smooth surfaces. Ensure you are using a 'Rug Grip Hold' or similar anti-slip rug pad underneath the rug. This will provide friction and keep the rug securely in place.
There's a stain on my rug.
Immediately blot the stain with a clean, dry white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. Apply a small amount of approved surface shampoo (check product instructions) to a clean cloth, then gently blot the stained area. Follow by blotting with a damp cloth to rinse, and let it air dry.
The rug looks flattened or matted in high-traffic areas.
Regular vacuuming can help lift and refresh the pile. For more stubborn flattening, you can gently brush the pile in the opposite direction of the matting with a soft-bristled brush. Consider rotating the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly.
Pros and Cons

- High Durability: Excellent for high-traffic zones due to its hardwearing polypropylene construction.
- Easy Maintenance: Simple to clean by blotting stains, reducing cleaning effort.
- Versatile Placement: Suitable for virtually any indoor area, from living rooms to hallways.
- Comfortable Underfoot: The soft pile provides a pleasant walking surface.
- Timeless Aesthetic: The traditional medallion design complements a wide range of interior styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup
- Unroll and Position: Carefully unroll the rug in your desired indoor location. Allow some time for any creases from packaging to relax and flatten out. Walking on it or placing books on stubborn corners can help.
- Secure on Smooth Surfaces: If placing the rug on hard floors (wood, tile, laminate), it is highly recommended to use a separate rug grip, such as a 'Rug Grip Hold'. This will prevent the rug from slipping and reduce the risk of accidents. Position the rug grip underneath the rug, ensuring it covers as much of the rug's footprint as possible.
Compatibility
- Indoor Use Only: This rug is designed exclusively for indoor environments. It is not suitable for outdoor patios, decks, or any areas exposed to the elements.
- Versatile Placement: Compatible with any room in the home, including living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, hallways, and home offices. Its durability makes it particularly suited for high-traffic zones.
Care
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a brush-less attachment to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid using a beater bar on high pile settings, as this can damage the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning for Stains: For spills and stains, do not rub. Instead, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, white cloth. Apply a small amount of mild *surface shampoo* or rug cleaner to a clean cloth, then gently blot the stain. Rinse by blotting with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the polypropylene fibers and alter the rug's color.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consider professional rug cleaning services.
- Rotate Periodically: To ensure even wear and exposure to sunlight, rotate your rug every few months.
