Troubleshooting
Rug slides on smooth floor surfaces.
Ensure you are using a separate 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug, especially on polished wood or tile, as recommended for optimal stability.
Stains are not coming out completely after machine washing.
For stubborn stains, pre-treat the affected area with a mild stain remover suitable for polypropylene before machine washing. Ensure the washing temperature is 40°C, and avoid overloading the washing machine.
The rug appears flattened or matted.
Regularly vacuum the rug without a beater bar. You can also gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled brush to help lift and restore its shaggy texture.
The rug has creases from packaging.
Lay the rug flat in a warm room for a few days. Gravity will typically help the creases settle. You can also carefully place heavy, flat objects on the creased areas for a short period.
