FAQs

Can this rug be used indoors?

Yes, absolutely. While designed for outdoor durability, its versatile style and easy-to-clean nature make it perfect for indoor spaces like kitchens, living rooms, and conservatories.

How do I clean the THE RUGS Outdoor Rug?

You can clean it easily by wiping with a damp cloth, hosing it off with water, or even jet-washing on a low-pressure setting. It dries quickly. Please note, it is not machine washable.

Is the rug resistant to fading from sunlight?

Yes, the rug features built-in UV protection, which helps maintain its vibrant color and prevents fading even under prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Will patio furniture damage the rug?

No, the rug has a flat pile design, which allows patio furniture to be placed on it without causing uneven surfaces or significant indentations.

Is this rug safe for families and the environment?

Yes, it is Oeko-Tex certified, meaning it has been tested for harmful substances and produced using environmentally friendly practices, ensuring it's safe for your home.

What should I do to prevent mold?

While weather-resistant, prolonged exposure to standing water can lead to mold. To prevent this, ensure the rug is not left in puddles for extended periods and allow it to dry completely after getting wet.

Is the rug heavy and difficult to move?

No, the rug is lightweight and portable, making it easy to carry, move, and store as needed for rearranging or seasonal use.

Troubleshooting

Mold or mildew forming on the rug.

This typically occurs due to prolonged exposure to standing water or dampness. Ensure the rug is not left in puddles or wet conditions for extended periods. After rain or cleaning, allow the rug to dry completely in a well-ventilated area before rolling or storing it.

Rug appears dirty or stained.

For light dirt, sweep or vacuum. For spills, wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For heavier soiling, hose down the rug or use a jet washer on a low-pressure setting. Always allow it to dry thoroughly.

Rug not lying completely flat after unrolling.

New rugs may have creases from packaging. Lay the rug flat in a warm area and allow it a day or two to relax. Placing heavy objects on the corners for a short period can also help it flatten.
