Troubleshooting

The rug seems to be sliding or moving on the floor.

Ensure the floor beneath the rug is completely clean and dry. Any dust, moisture, or debris can reduce the effectiveness of the non-slip backing. Re-position the rug to ensure full contact between the backing and the floor surface.

Stains are not completely coming out after washing.

For best results, treat spills and stains as quickly as possible. For persistent stains, consider pre-treating the area with a stain remover suitable for polypropylene before machine washing at 40C. Always follow the stain remover's instructions.

The rug's pile appears flattened or matted after use/washing.

Regular vacuuming with a non-beater brush attachment can help lift the pile. After washing and drying, gently brush the pile with a soft-bristled brush to help restore its original texture. Ensure the rug is fully dry before attempting to brush.

The rug has creases or wrinkles from being rolled up.

Lay the rug flat in a warm room. The creases should gradually relax and flatten out within a few days. You can also try carefully rolling it in the opposite direction for a short period, or placing heavy, flat objects on the creased areas overnight.

  2. Choose Location: Select a clean, dry, and flat surface for your rug. Ensure the area is free from debris that could interfere with the non-slip backing.

Care Instructions

To ensure your Buddy Rug remains in excellent condition and continues to offer its full benefits, follow these care guidelines:

  • Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or with the beater bar set to a high pile height, to remove loose dirt and maintain the pile.
  • Machine Washing: For deeper cleaning, the rug is machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius (`40C`). Use a mild detergent.
  • Drying: After washing, tumble dry on a low heat setting or air dry flat. Ensure the rug is completely dry before placing it back on the floor to prevent mildew.
  • Stain Treatment: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tough stains, pre-treat with a suitable rug cleaner before machine washing.
  • Avoid Bleach: Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals, as this can damage the fibers and colour.
  • Storage: If storing, roll the rug tightly with the pile facing inwards and store in a dry, cool place.
