FAQs
What is the Melrose Traditional Rug made from?
The Melrose Traditional Rug is crafted from 100% Heatset Polypropylene, known for its durability, softness, and ease of cleaning.
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes, absolutely. Its hard-wearing polypropylene pile is specifically designed to withstand and perform well in high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, and entryways.
Do I need a rug grip for this rug?
Yes, the use of an anti-slip rug grip is strongly recommended, especially if placing the rug on hard flooring like wood, laminate, or tile. This prevents slippage, wrinkling, and helps the rug lie flat and securely.
How do I clean spills on the rug?
For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing as it can push the stain deeper. For tougher stains, use a mild rug cleaning solution or a mixture of gentle soap and water, applied sparingly to a clean cloth, then blot. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
Can I use this rug in any room of my home?
Yes, its versatile design and durable construction make it suitable for any area of the home, including living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and hallways.
What is the weight of the rug?
The Melrose Traditional Rug has a weight of 1.4 KG per square metre, indicating a substantial and quality feel.
Troubleshooting
Rug is slipping or bunching on the floor.
This is a common issue on hard flooring. Immediately place an anti-slip rug grip underneath the rug. This will anchor it in place, prevent movement, and reduce wrinkling.
Creases or wrinkles won't flatten out after unrolling.
Allow 24-48 hours for the rug to relax. You can place heavy, flat objects (like books) on the creased areas overnight. Alternatively, gently roll the rug in the opposite direction for a short period, then lay it flat. Using a rug grip also helps keep it flat.
Stains or spills on the rug.
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Do not rub. For more stubborn stains, use a small amount of mild detergent mixed with water on a clean cloth, blot the stain, then rinse with a damp cloth and air dry.
Rug appears dull or dirty despite vacuuming.
Regular vacuuming is key, but for deeper embedded dirt or a refresh, consider a spot clean with mild rug shampoo or professional cleaning. Ensure your vacuum's brush height is appropriate for the rug's pile.

- Versatile Style: Traditional design blends well with diverse interior aesthetics.
- Comfortable Texture: Soft underfoot, adding a cozy feel to rooms.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unroll and Acclimate: Carefully unroll your Melrose Traditional Rug in the desired location. Allow it some time, usually 24-48 hours, to flatten out any creases from packaging. You can place heavy objects on the corners to speed up this process.
- Positioning: Place the rug in your chosen area, ensuring it is centered or aligned as desired.
- Apply Anti-Slip Grip (Recommended): For safety and to prevent wrinkling, especially on hard flooring (wood, laminate, tile), unroll an appropriately sized anti-slip rug grip underneath the rug. Ensure the grip is slightly smaller than the rug's dimensions to remain invisible. This step is crucial for stability.
Compatibility
- Flooring: Compatible with various floor types, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpet. An anti-slip grip is especially important for hard, smooth surfaces.
- Rooms: Suitable for any area of the home. Its durability makes it ideal for high-traffic zones like living rooms, hallways, dining rooms, and entryways. Its soft texture also makes it a good fit for bedrooms.
- Decor: The traditional medallion design complements classic, eclectic, and transitional interior styles.
Care Instructions
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum the rug regularly (1-2 times per week, more often in high-traffic areas) using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using a beater bar on high pile settings, as it can damage the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills and stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For tougher spots, use a mild rug cleaner or a mixture of mild detergent and water, applying it to a cloth and gently blotting the stained area. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, or as needed, professional rug cleaning is recommended to maintain its appearance and prolong its life.
- Rotate Regularly: To ensure even wear and exposure to sunlight, rotate your rug every 3-6 months.
- Protect from Direct Sunlight: While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Consider using curtains or blinds to protect the rug in sunny areas.
