FAQs
How do I make my new rug lay completely flat?
After unpacking, reverse-roll the rug with the pile facing outwards. Then, lay it flat in your room at room temperature for 24 hours. This process helps it settle and flatten out.
Is this rug suitable for homes with children and pets?
Yes, this rug is designed to be hard-wearing, stain-resistant, and easy to clean, making it an excellent choice for busy homes with children and pets.
Can I use this rug on a wooden floor?
While suitable for wooden floors, we strongly recommend using a rug grip underneath to prevent the rug from slipping and to protect your floor surface.
How should I clean spills or stains?
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth. For stubborn stains, test a mild carpet shampoo on a hidden spot first, then surface shampoo the affected area, taking care not to over-wet the rug.
Will the rug's color fade over time?
No, the Homemaker Maestro Berber Rug is specifically designed to be colourfast and fade-resistant, ensuring its blue hue remains vibrant even with regular use and exposure.
What material is the rug made from?
The rug is machine woven from a soft, easy-to-clean polypropylene pile.
Is it safe to place this rug near a fireplace?
No, it is not suitable for use near open fires or any sources of ignition. Always keep the rug away from heat sources for safety.
Troubleshooting
Rug not lying flat after unpacking.
Reverse-roll the rug with the pile facing outwards, then lay it flat at room temperature for 24 hours. This will allow the fibers to relax and the rug to settle.
Spills or stains on the rug.
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth. For tougher stains, test a carpet shampoo on an inconspicuous area first, then surface shampoo, ensuring the rug does not get too wet.
Rug is slipping on hard floors.
We highly recommend using a rug grip underneath the rug, especially on polished surfaces or hard floors, to prevent movement and ensure safety.
Rug pile appears flattened or dull.
Gently vacuum the rug using a floor tool attachment (avoid a beater bar). You can also periodically shake the rug to help restore and refresh its pile.
Rug has an initial odor.
This is normal for new rugs. Ensure good ventilation in the room for the first few days after unpacking to allow any factory odors to dissipate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Initial Setup
- Unpack and Unroll: Your rug may arrive tightly rolled. To ensure it lays flat and looks its best, carefully unpack it.
- Reverse-Roll: Gently reverse-roll the rug with the pile facing outwards. This helps release any creases from packaging.
- Lay Flat: Place the rug flat in your desired location at room temperature for 24 hours. This allows the fibers to relax and the rug to fully settle.
- Initial Vacuum: After 24 hours, gently vacuum the rug using a floor tool attachment. This helps restore the pile.
Compatibility
- Floor Types: Suitable for any area of the home. However, for hard floors, polished surfaces, or other permanent flooring, the use of a rug grip is highly recommended to prevent movement and slipping. Always ensure the floor beneath is dry before placement.
- High-Traffic Areas: Designed specifically to be hard-wearing and perform excellently in busy spaces.
Care and Maintenance
- Regular Vacuuming: Gently vacuum your rug regularly using a floor tool attachment. Avoid using a beater bar, which can damage the pile over time.
- Restore Pile: Occasionally shake the rug to restore its pile and maintain its appearance.
- Spot Cleaning: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Surface Shampooing: For tougher stains, test a carpet shampoo on an inconspicuous area of the rug first. If safe, apply the shampoo for surface cleaning only. Ensure the rug does not get too wet.
Important Safety Warnings
- Rug Grip: Take care when placing the rug on polished surfaces or hard floors. We strongly recommend using a rug grip to reduce movement and prevent accidents.
- Dry Floor Only: Lay the rug on a dry floor only to prevent moisture damage and potential slipping hazards.
- Fire Safety: NOT SUITABLE FOR USE NEAR OPEN FIRES. KEEP AWAY FROM SOURCES OF IGNITION.
