FAQs
What material is the Melrose Traditional Rug made from?
The Melrose Traditional Rug is woven from soft and durable polypropylene pile, which is known for its resistance to stains, fading, and wear, making it easy to maintain.
Is this rug suitable for homes with pets and children?
Yes, absolutely. The rug's hard-wearing quality and easy-to-clean polypropylene material make it an excellent choice for busy households with children and pets, as it can withstand frequent use and is simple to clean after spills or accidents.
Do I need a rug grip for this rug?
While not strictly required for use, a rug grip is highly recommended. It prevents the rug from slipping on smooth surfaces, helps keep it wrinkle-free, and can add an extra layer of cushioning, extending the life of your rug and protecting your floors.
How do I clean my Melrose Traditional Rug?
Regular vacuuming with a brushless suction head is recommended. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, spot clean with mild soap and water or a commercial rug cleaner, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Professional cleaning is recommended periodically.
Can this rug be used on heated floors?
Info needed: Please consult specific product specifications or the manufacturer's guidelines regarding compatibility with heated flooring systems. Generally, polypropylene rugs are stable, but it's best to confirm.
What is the lifespan of this rug?
With proper care and maintenance, the Melrose Traditional Rug is designed to be hard-wearing and durable, providing years of use, especially in high-traffic areas. Its polypropylene construction contributes to its longevity.
Does the rug shed?
New polypropylene rugs may have some initial shedding of loose fibers, which is normal and typically subsides after a few weeks of regular vacuuming. The Melrose rug is designed to be low-shedding over its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Rug is wrinkling or sliding
This is common, especially on hard surfaces. The most effective solution is to use a high-quality rug grip or pad underneath. This will not only prevent wrinkles and sliding but also add an extra layer of comfort and protect your flooring.
Visible creases from shipping
Upon unrolling, creases may be present. Lay the rug flat for 24-48 hours. For quicker results, you can reverse roll the rug for a few hours or place heavy books on the affected areas overnight. The polypropylene pile will relax over time.
Stains or spills on the rug
Due to the easy-to-clean polypropylene, most spills can be blotted with a clean, dry cloth immediately. For tougher stains, use a mixture of mild soap and water or a specialized carpet cleaner, always testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid over-wetting the rug.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

- Add Rug Grip (Recommended): For optimal safety, stability, and to prevent wrinkling, place a suitable rug grip underneath the rug. This is especially important on hard flooring surfaces like wood, tile, or laminate.
- Positioning: Adjust the rug to ensure it is centered and aligned correctly with your furniture or room layout.

Care
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a brushless suction head to remove dirt and maintain the pile. Avoid using a beater bar, as it can damage the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild rug cleaner or a solution of mild soap and water, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Deep Cleaning: For a more thorough cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically.
- Rotate Periodically: Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and exposure to light, which helps maintain its appearance over time.
