FAQs
What are the dimensions of this rug?
The dimensions of this specific rug are 80 cm in width and 120 cm in length.
Can this rug be used in a bathroom?
While the rug is washable and has anti-slip backing, it is primarily designed for general indoor living spaces like living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. For bathrooms, a rug specifically designed for high-moisture environments is recommended.
How often should I wash the rug?
The frequency of washing depends on usage. For high-traffic areas or homes with pets and children, washing every 1-2 months is advisable. For lighter use, washing every 3-6 months or as needed for spills should suffice.
Is the white color prone to staining?
The white color can show stains more readily. Promptly cleaning spills by blotting and then machine washing will help maintain its appearance.
What does OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification mean?
This certification means the rug has been tested and is free from harmful levels of over 100 substances, ensuring it is safe for human health and environmentally sound.
Can I use a robot vacuum on this rug?
Yes, a robot vacuum can be used on this rug. Its low pile height is generally compatible with most robot vacuums.
Troubleshooting
Rug slides or bunches up
Ensure the floor surface is clean and dry before placing the rug. The anti-slip backing is designed to prevent this, but dirt can reduce its effectiveness.
Persistent creases after unrolling
Allow the rug to lay flat in a warm room for 24-48 hours. You can also try gently rolling the rug in the opposite direction of the creases.
Fading after washing
Use cold water and mild detergent for washing. Avoid direct sunlight exposure during air drying, as prolonged exposure can cause fading.
Rug remains damp after air drying
Ensure adequate air circulation. Hang the rug over multiple points of a drying rack or rotate its position periodically. Avoid high-heat drying methods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unroll the rug upon arrival and allow it to lay flat for a few hours to help remove any creases from packaging. Due to its anti-slip backing, it should stay in place once laid on a clean, dry floor.
Compatibility: This rug is designed for indoor use on most standard flooring types including hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpet. The anti-slip backing ensures it stays put on smooth surfaces.
Care:
- Machine Wash: Wash the rug on a gentle cycle using cold water and a mild detergent. Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's size (80 x 120 cm).
- Drying: It is best to air dry the rug. Hang it over a drying rack or lay it flat. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as high heat can damage the backing.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Vacuuming: Regular vacuuming on a low setting is recommended to maintain the pile's appearance.
