FAQs
Is the Buddy Rug suitable for underfloor heating?
Yes, the Buddy Rug is generally suitable for use with underfloor heating systems. Its polypropylene material and construction allow for heat transfer. However, always ensure good air circulation.
Can I put the Buddy Rug in my washing machine?
Yes, one of the key benefits of the Buddy Rug is that it is machine washable at 40C. Please use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and avoid bleach. Ensure your washing machine can accommodate the rug's size and weight.
Will the rug shed a lot?
The Buddy Rug is designed with anti-shedding properties to minimize fiber loss. While some minimal shedding may occur initially, it is not expected to be significant or ongoing.
What is the pile height of the rug?
The Buddy Rug features a beautifully soft 10mm shaggy pile height, providing a comfortable and luxurious feel underfoot.
Is the non-slip backing safe for all floor types?
The advanced non-slip rubber backing provides security on most floor types. For extremely smooth surfaces like polished floors, we recommend using an additional 'Rug Grip Hold' for maximum stability.
Where is the Buddy Rug manufactured?
The Buddy Rug collection is 100% designed and manufactured in Britain and contains recycled materials.
What sizes are available for the Buddy Rug?
The Buddy Rug is available in various sizes including 60 x 100 cm (23 x 39 in), 80 x 120 cm (31¼ x 47 in), 140 x 200 cm (55 x 78¾ in), and a circular option approximately 100 cm (39 in) in diameter.
Troubleshooting
The rug is slipping on my smooth floor.
For optimal safety on very smooth surfaces (e.g., polished wood, tile), we highly recommend using an additional 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the entire rug. This will provide extra friction and prevent movement.
A stain won't come out with spot cleaning.
The Buddy Rug is machine washable. For stubborn stains, machine wash the rug at 40C using a gentle cycle and a mild detergent. Ensure it is colour fast and completely dry before reuse.
The rug pile appears flattened or matted.
Regular vacuuming can help lift and refresh the shaggy pile. For more stubborn flattening, you can gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled brush or consider a gentle machine wash followed by thorough drying to restore its fluffiness.
There's a strong odor after unpacking the rug.
This is typically a 'new product' smell and should dissipate quickly. Allow the rug to air out in a well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours. If possible, place it outdoors in a shaded, dry area for a few hours.

Setup
- Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your Buddy Rug in the desired location. Allow some time for any creases from packaging to relax and flatten out naturally. You can gently reverse roll the rug for a short period to help flatten stubborn edges.
- Placement: Position the rug centrally within your chosen area. Ensure it lies flat without any bumps or curled edges to prevent tripping hazards.
- Secure on Smooth Surfaces: If placing the rug on very smooth surfaces like polished wood, laminate, or tile, it is recommended to use an additional 'Rug Grip Hold'. This will maximize the non-slip security and prevent the rug from shifting. Place the grip underneath the entire rug for best results.

Its various available sizes, including a circular option, allow it to fit diverse room layouts and purposes.

Care
- Washing: The rug is machine washable at 40C. Use a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals.
- Drying: Line dry or tumble dry on a low heat setting. Ensure the rug is completely dry before placing it back on the floor to prevent mould or mildew growth.
- Stain Treatment: Thanks to its stain-resistant properties, most spills can be blotted immediately with a clean cloth and then spot cleaned or machine washed if necessary.
- Regular Maintenance: Vacuum regularly to remove dirt and dust and help lift the soft shaggy pile. The anti-shedding characteristic minimizes fiber loss, simplifying routine cleaning.
- Mould and Microbe Resistance: The integrated technology helps protect against mould and microbes, contributing to a healthier home environment.
