The George Home Checkerboard Rug (Black) excels at delivering comfort and aesthetic appeal. Its soft, shaggy texture makes it an ideal choice for areas where you want to sink your feet in, such as beside a bed, in a living room seating area, or under a coffee table. It effectively dampens sound and adds a layer of insulation, contributing to a warmer environment.
For optimal performance, particularly in busier areas or on hard flooring like wood, laminate, or tile, the use of a rug grip is crucial. This prevents the rug from shifting or bunching, ensuring both safety and the rug's longevity. When a spill occurs, the rug's design for spot cleaning with surface shampoo means you can often address marks quickly, maintaining its fresh appearance. For example, a small drink spill can be blotted immediately and then treated with a dedicated rug shampoo to prevent staining.
Unpack: Carefully unroll your new Checkerboard Rug in the desired location.
Position: Adjust the rug to your preferred alignment.
Apply Rug Grip (Recommended): For maximum stability and to prevent slipping, place a suitable non-slip rug grip directly underneath the rug. Ensure the grip covers as much of the rug's base as possible.
This rug is well-suited for a variety of indoor spaces, including:
Living rooms
Bedrooms
Studies or home offices
Dining areas (where spills are less frequent)
It complements most flooring types, but a rug grip is especially important on smooth surfaces. Info needed: Not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms, as it's designed for spot cleaning rather than full saturation.
Spot Clean Only: For spills and stains, act quickly. Use a mild surface shampoo specifically designed for rugs. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently blot the affected area. Avoid rubbing, which can push the stain deeper.
Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug to remove loose dirt and debris. Use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or set it to a high pile height, to avoid damaging the shaggy fibers.
Rotate: To ensure even wear and exposure to sunlight, rotate your rug every few months.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong detergents, as these can damage the rug's fibers and color.
