FAQs
Is the Buddy Rug truly machine washable?
Yes, the Buddy Rug is designed for convenience and can be machine washed at 40 degrees Celsius. Please ensure your washing machine has enough capacity for the rug's size, and use a mild detergent.
What kind of stains is this rug resistant to?
The Buddy Rug is stain-resistant to many common household mishaps, including tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip pens, and non-oil-based make-up. Prompt cleaning is always recommended for best results.
Do I need a separate rug pad or grip for this rug?
While the Buddy Rug features a non-slip rubber backing for safety, we recommend using an additional 'Rug Grip Hold' when placing it on exceptionally smooth surfaces (like polished wood or tile) to maximize stability and prevent movement.
What sizes are available for the Buddy Rug?
The Buddy Rug is available in several sizes: 60 x 100 cm (23 x 39 in), 80 x 120 cm (31A x 47 in), 140 x 200 cm (55 x 78I in), and a circular option of approximately 100 cm (39 in) in diameter.
Where is the Buddy Rug manufactured?
The Buddy Rug collection is 100% designed and manufactured in Britain.
Does this rug contain recycled materials?
Yes, the Buddy Rug collection contains recycled materials as part of its construction, reflecting a commitment to sustainability.
How soft is the pile of the Buddy Rug?
The Buddy Rug features a beautifully soft 10mm pile height, providing a plush and comfortable feel underfoot.
Can this rug be used outdoors?
The product description indicates its suitability for 'all around the home' and mentions its soft pile and specific wash instructions which are typical for indoor use. It is not specifically marketed for outdoor use, and outdoor conditions might affect its longevity or appearance over time. It is best suited for indoor environments.
Troubleshooting
The rug is slipping or moving on my smooth floor.
Although the rug has a non-slip backing, for highly polished or very smooth surfaces, it is strongly recommended to use a separate rug grip pad underneath the Buddy Rug to enhance stability and safety. Ensure the floor is clean and dry before placement.
There are creases or wrinkles in my rug after unrolling it.
This is common with new rugs. Lay the rug flat in a warm room; most creases will relax and disappear within a few days. You can also try reverse rolling the rug tightly in the opposite direction of the creases for a few hours, or placing heavy, flat objects on the affected areas.
A stain isn't coming out easily with spot cleaning.
Act quickly! Blot the stain immediately, do not rub. For persistent stains resistant to simple blotting, you can machine wash the entire rug at 40 degrees Celsius as per the care instructions. The rug's specific stain-resistant properties often allow for successful removal during a full wash.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the Buddy Rug from its packaging. You may notice some creases from shipping; these typically flatten out within a few days. For faster results, you can reverse roll the rug or lay it flat with heavy objects on the corners.
- Placement: Position the rug in your desired location. Ensure the non-slip backing is in direct contact with the clean, dry floor.
- Secure (Optional): For optimal safety on very smooth surfaces (e.g., polished wood, tile), it is recommended to use a separate 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug to prevent any movement.
Compatibility
The Buddy Rug's versatile design, range of sizes (60 x 100 cm, 80 x 120 cm, 140 x 200 cm, Circular approx. 100 cm), and array of colors make it suitable for almost any room in your home. It's ideal for:
- Living Rooms: Adds warmth and comfort.
- Bedrooms: Provides a soft landing for your feet.
- Hallways & Entrances: Withstands high traffic and offers easy cleaning.
- Children's Rooms: Durable and stain-resistant for playful environments.
Care & Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. For shaggy piles, consider using a vacuum with an adjustable height setting or a handheld attachment to avoid damaging the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. The stain-resistant properties mean many common stains can be wiped away easily.
- Machine Washing: For a deeper clean, the Buddy Rug is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius. Ensure your washing machine has adequate capacity for the rug's size. Wash separately. Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
- Drying: Air dry flat or hang to dry. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent potential fading (though it is fade-resistant, prolonged exposure is not recommended). Ensure the rug is completely dry before placing it back on the floor to prevent mildew.
- Professional Cleaning: While machine washable, for very large rugs or persistent issues, professional rug cleaning can be considered.
