FAQs

Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, the 100% Polypropylene material and durable flat pile make it suitable for high-traffic areas both indoors and outdoors.

How often should I clean the rug?

For daily maintenance, a quick sweep or vacuum is recommended. Deep cleaning or hosing down can be done as needed, depending on the exposure to dirt and weather.

Can I use this rug on a wooden deck?

Yes, it is safe to use on wooden decks. The material is resistant to moisture, and the flat pile prevents it from trapping excessive moisture underneath in normal conditions.

What does OEKO-TEX certified mean?

OEKO-TEX certification means the rug has been tested for harmful substances and is therefore safe for human health, making it suitable for indoor use, especially in living areas and children's rooms.

What is the best way to store this rug?

To store, ensure the rug is clean and completely dry. Roll it up tightly and store it in a dry, protected area. Avoid areas with high humidity.

Can this rug be used as a doormat?

While durable, its primary design is for larger floor areas. For a doormat function, consider its placement, as its size might be more suited for entryways within a larger space rather than a typical exterior doormat.

What are the dimensions of this specific rug?

This particular Ecology Outdoor Rug in Orange measures 170cm in width and 120cm in height.

Troubleshooting

Rug has an unusual smell

Ensure the rug is completely dry. If it has been exposed to prolonged dampness, allow it to air out thoroughly in a sunny, well-ventilated area. If the smell persists after drying, clean with a mild soap and water solution and rinse thoroughly.

Mildew has formed on the rug

Mildew can occur if the rug is left in standing water. Gently scrub the affected area with a solution of mild soap and water or a diluted vinegar solution. Rinse thoroughly and allow the rug to dry completely in the sun.

Rug colours appear faded

While the rug is UV protected, extreme or prolonged direct sunlight can eventually cause some fading over time. Ensure the rug is optimally positioned to balance sun exposure and longevity, and consider rotating or repositioning it periodically.

Rug is not laying flat

If the rug has creases from shipping, roll it tightly in the opposite direction and leave it for a few hours, or place heavy objects (like furniture) on the edges to help it flatten. Ensure it's on a level surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Unroll the rug carefully upon arrival. Allow it to lay flat for a few hours to settle, especially if it has been tightly rolled for shipping. For outdoor placement, position it where desired. For indoor use, ensure the surface beneath is clean and dry.

Compatibility: This rug is compatible with most outdoor and indoor floor surfaces including concrete, wood decking, tile, and linoleum. Its flat pile allows for the placement of furniture directly on top.

Care:

  1. General Cleaning: For everyday dirt and dust, vacuum the rug or sweep it with a stiff broom.
  2. Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap and water solution with a sponge.
  3. Deep Cleaning: For a thorough clean, hose the rug down outdoors. Use a brush with mild soap if necessary, then rinse thoroughly.
  4. Drying: Allow the rug to air dry completely in the sun or a well-ventilated area before repositioning or using it indoors. Avoid leaving the rug bunched up or in prolonged contact with standing water to prevent mold.
