FAQs
Is the brown colour consistent across all batches?
While efforts are made to ensure colour consistency, slight variations can occur between manufacturing batches. The image represents the general shade.
Can I use this rug outdoors?
This rug is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements like moisture and direct sunlight can damage the material and affect its colour and durability.
What size is this specific Buddy rug?
This guide specifically covers the Buddy Rug in Brown, measuring 100 cm in width and 150 cm in height (length).
How often should I wash the rug?
For general maintenance, regular vacuuming is sufficient. Machine wash only when necessary for deep cleaning or to remove significant stains, as frequent washing can potentially reduce the lifespan of any rug.
Will the non-slip backing damage my floor?
The rubber backing is designed to provide grip without damaging most standard floor types. However, on very sensitive finishes or newly sealed floors, it's always advisable to use a rug grip accessory or test in an inconspicuous area first.
What types of stains is it resistant to?
It is resistant to many common household stains including tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, and non-oil-based make-up.
Can I use a steam cleaner on this rug?
It is not recommended to use a steam cleaner, as the high heat and moisture can damage the polypropylene fibres and backing. Machine washing at 40°C is the recommended method for deep cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Rug is not lying flat
Unroll the rug and place it in a warm room for several hours, or weigh down the corners with heavy objects until it flattens.
Non-slip backing not effective on very smooth floors
Use a separate rug grip or rug pad underneath the rug for enhanced stability and safety.
Persistent stain after washing
Re-wash the rug at 40°C, ensuring you use a suitable detergent. For very tough stains, pre-treat with a stain remover suitable for polypropylene, testing first on a hidden area.
Fibre flattening or crushing
Regularly vacuum the rug. For deeper pile, consider using a vacuum cleaner with adjustable height settings or a non-beater bar setting. Periodic fluffing by hand can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unroll the rug and allow it to lay flat for a few hours to settle. If placed on a smooth surface, consider using a 'Rug Grip Hold' accessory for maximum stability.
Compatibility:
This rug is suitable for most indoor areas, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and kitchens. It is designed to be used on various floor types. For optimal safety and to prevent movement on laminate, tile, or polished wood floors, using a rug grip is recommended.
Care Instructions:
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug to remove loose dirt and dust. For shaggy piles, use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or set it to a higher setting.
- Spot Cleaning: For fresh spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a mild detergent and water solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
- Machine Washing: The rug is machine washable at 40°C. Ensure your washing machine has sufficient capacity. After washing, allow the rug to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry.
- Fade Resistance: While fade-resistant, avoid placing the rug in direct, prolonged sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the brown colour.
