Troubleshooting
Rug slides or moves on a very smooth floor.
We recommend using a 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug, especially on highly polished or very smooth surfaces, to provide additional traction and prevent movement. Ensure the floor surface is clean and dry before placement.
A stain won't come out easily after a quick wipe.
For stubborn stains, gently blot the affected area with a clean cloth and a mild detergent solution. After spot treatment, machine wash the rug at 40°C as per the care instructions. Note that the rug's resistance is primarily for non-oil based make-up and other common spills; oil-based stains might require specific attention.
The rug appears creased or has indentations after unrolling.
This is normal after packaging. Lay the rug flat in your desired location and allow it some time, typically a few hours to a day. The creases or indentations should naturally relax and disappear as the rug settles.
The rug's pile looks flattened or matted in high-traffic areas.
Regular vacuuming can help revive the pile. For best results, use a vacuum cleaner with adjustable height settings or one that allows you to turn off the rotating brush. You can also gently brush the pile with a soft brush to help lift and restore its fluffy appearance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unpack and Unroll: Carefully remove the Buddy Rug from its packaging and unroll it in your desired location.
- Allow to Settle: The rug may have temporary creases from packaging. Lay it flat, and these creases should naturally relax and disappear within a few hours to a day.
- Optional Grip: For very smooth surfaces like polished wood or tile, it is recommended to place a 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug for enhanced security and to prevent any potential movement.
Compatibility
- Floor Types: The Buddy Rug is suitable for use on a wide variety of floor surfaces, including carpet, hardwood, laminate, and tile. The non-slip backing provides effective grip on most surfaces.
- Size Options: Available in multiple sizes to fit different room dimensions:
- 60 x 100 cm (23 x 39 in)
- 80 x 120 cm (31¼ x 47 in)
- 140 x 200 cm (55 x 78¾ in)
- Circular approx. 100 cm (39 in)
Care Instructions
- Washing: Machine wash the rug at 40°C. Use a gentle cycle. Do not use bleach.
- Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry the rug flat or hang it to dry completely. Ensure it is fully dry before placing it back on the floor.
- Stain Removal: Act quickly to blot spills with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, a mild detergent solution can be gently applied to the affected area before machine washing. The rug is resistant to many common stains, including tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, and non-oil based make-up.
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug to remove loose dirt and maintain the pile's appearance. For best results, use a vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush or with the brush roll turned off, especially for shaggy piles.
- Long-Term Care: To ensure even wear and extend the rug's lifespan, rotate it periodically, particularly in high-traffic areas.
