FAQs
Is this rug suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Melrose Colorama Scallop Runner Rug is designed for indoor use only. Its materials and construction are optimized for indoor environments.
What are the exact dimensions of the rug?
This specific runner rug measures 67cm in width and 200cm in length (height).
How do I prevent the rug from moving on my hardwood floor?
To prevent movement and slippage, it is highly recommended to use an anti-slip rug grip underneath the rug, especially when placed on hard flooring surfaces like wood, tile, or laminate.
Can I machine wash this rug?
No, machine washing is not recommended. For cleaning, regular vacuuming and spot cleaning with surface shampoo for stains are advised. Professional cleaning is recommended for a deeper clean.
What kind of shampoo should I use for stains?
Use a mild, pH-neutral surface shampoo designed for synthetic fibers. Always test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area of the rug first to ensure colorfastness.
Will the color fade over time?
While the polypropylene pile is generally colorfast, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading over many years. Rotating the rug periodically can help ensure even exposure.
Is this rug heavy enough to stay in place without a grip?
The rug has a weight of 1.4 KG per Square Metre. While this provides some substance, for optimal stability and to prevent wrinkling and tripping hazards, especially on hard floors, an anti-slip rug grip is strongly recommended.
Troubleshooting
Rug keeps sliding or bunching up
Ensure an anti-slip rug grip is used underneath the rug, especially on hard flooring. Place the grip flat on the floor before positioning the rug on top.
Stain is not coming out with blotting
After blotting, apply a small amount of mild surface shampoo to a clean cloth and gently blot the stain. Avoid rubbing. If the stain persists, consider professional rug cleaning.
Rug has creases from shipping
Lay the rug flat for a few days; gravity will help flatten it. For faster results, try reverse rolling the rug tightly for an hour or two before laying it flat again. Ensure a rug grip is used to help keep it flat.
Rug appears dull or dirty despite vacuuming
Ensure you are vacuuming regularly with appropriate settings. If deep dirt is present, a professional cleaning might be necessary, or consider a more thorough spot clean using surface shampoo for targeted areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions

- Apply Anti-Slip Grip (Recommended): For safety and to prevent wrinkles, especially on hard flooring (like wood, tile, or laminate), it is strongly recommended to place an anti-slip rug grip underneath the rug. Lay the grip flat on the floor first, then carefully position the rug on top, ensuring it is centered and smooth.

Care & Maintenance
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a brush-less attachment to remove loose dirt and dust, helping to maintain its appearance and prolong its life.
- Spot Cleaning Stains: For spills and stains, do not rub. Instead, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains, use a small amount of surface shampoo applied to a clean cloth, then blot the stain. Always test the shampoo on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the polypropylene fibers and color.
- Professional Cleaning: For a deeper clean or significant spills, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
- Rotate Periodically: To ensure even wear and exposure, rotate the rug every few months, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Wrinkle Prevention: Ensure the rug grip is used to prevent the rug from wrinkling, which can lead to premature wear and tripping hazards.
