FAQs
Can this rug be used outdoors?
Yes, the Melrose County Flatweave Rug is designed with a durable flatweave pile and 100% polypropylene material, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
How do I clean my flatweave rug?
This rug requires surface shampoo cleaning. Spot clean any spills promptly with a mild rug shampoo. Do not iron the rug.
Do I need an anti-slip grip for this rug?
For internal use on hard flooring, an additional anti-slip rug grip is advisable to prevent slippage. Runners feature an anti-slip gel backing, but extra grip can still enhance safety.
What is the rug made of?
The rug is made from a 100% Polypropylene Pile, which contributes to its durability and ease of care.
What does 'flatweave' mean?
Flatweave refers to a type of rug construction where the fibers are woven together to create a flat, low-profile surface without a raised pile. This makes them highly durable, easy to clean, and less prone to shedding.
Can I iron this rug?
No, you should not iron the Melrose County Flatweave Rug as it can damage the polypropylene fibers and the gel backing.
Is this rug heavy?
The rug has a weight of 1.2kg per square meter, providing a substantial feel while remaining manageable for positioning.
Troubleshooting
The rug is slipping on my hard floor.
For internal use on hard flooring, an additional anti-slip rug grip is strongly recommended. Place the grip underneath the rug to secure it in place.
My rug has creases from packaging.
Allow the rug to lie flat for 24-48 hours. Most creases will naturally disappear. You can also try gently reverse-rolling the rug for a short period before laying it flat again.
There's a stain on my rug.
Address spills immediately with a surface shampoo clean. Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth and a mild rug shampoo solution. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
The rug doesn't look flat or settled.
Ensure the rug is laid on an even surface. Over time and with regular use, the rug should settle and lay completely flat.
