FAQs

Is this rug safe for hardwood floors?

What is the pile height of the rug?
The rug features a plush 20mm cut pile, providing a soft and comfortable feel underfoot.
Can I use this rug in an outdoor space?
No, this is an indoor-only rug; exposing it to outdoor elements may damage the materials and backing.
Does the rug require professional cleaning?

Troubleshooting
The rug is sliding on the floor.
Place a non-slip rug pad underneath the rug to increase friction and stability.
The rug has fold creases after unpacking.
Lay the rug flat and allow it to settle for 24-48 hours; you can also gently steam or iron the underside on low heat.
The rug feels bunched up or uneven.
Ensure the floor surface is clean and level; if on a rug pad, smooth the rug outward from the center.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon unpacking, roll out the rug and allow it a few hours to flatten completely. If creases persist, lightly misting the back or using a low-heat iron (on the reverse side) can help. To ensure safety, especially on hardwood or tiled surfaces, pair this rug with a high-quality non-slip rug pad to keep it firmly in place. For care, vacuum regularly using the upholstery attachment to protect the fibers, and machine wash on a gentle cycle as needed. Always allow the rug to air dry completely before placing it back on your floor to prevent moisture buildup under the backing.
