FAQs

Is the Buddy Rug safe for all floor types?

Yes, the Buddy Rug features an advanced non-slip rubber backing designed for use on most floor types. However, for highly polished or extremely smooth surfaces, we recommend using an additional rug grip for optimal stability.

How do I clean my Buddy Rug?

The Buddy Rug is very easy to clean. It is machine washable at 40C on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. For daily maintenance, regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth.

Will this rug shed?

No, the Buddy Rug is specifically designed with anti-shedding technology. You can expect minimal to no shedding, helping to keep your home cleaner and the rug looking plush and new.

Is the rug resistant to mould and microbes?

Yes, the Buddy Rug is enhanced with mould and microbe resistant technology, contributing to a hygienic environment and long-lasting freshness.

What material is the Buddy Rug made from?

The Buddy Rug is made from 100% Polypropylene, known for its durability, stain resistance, and fade resistance.

Can I use this rug in a high-traffic area?

Absolutely. The Buddy Rug is described as 'hard wearing' and is made from durable Polypropylene, making it suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, and children's play areas.

Troubleshooting

Rug is slipping on my smooth floor.

While the Buddy Rug features an advanced non-slip backing, for exceptionally smooth surfaces such as polished hardwood or certain tiles, we recommend using an additional 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath. This will provide maximum stability and safety.

Stain isn't completely coming out after spot cleaning.

For stubborn stains, the Buddy Rug is machine washable at 40C. Ensure you follow the washing instructions: use a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and air dry. The 100% Polypropylene material is stain resistant, so machine washing is often effective for tougher marks.

The rug isn't lying perfectly flat after unrolling.

It's common for rugs to have temporary creases from packaging. Lay the rug flat and give it a few hours (or up to a day) to settle. You can also gently roll it in the opposite direction of the crease, or place heavy objects on the corners overnight to help it flatten quicker.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety with advanced non-slip backing
  • Easy to clean and maintain (machine washable and stain resistant)
  • Resistant to mould and microbes for improved hygiene
  • Durable and hard-wearing for long-term use
  • Soft, long-pile texture provides comfort underfoot
  • Fade and anti-shedding properties ensure lasting appearance

Cons

  • Additional rug grip recommended for extremely smooth surfaces to maximize stability
  • Bulkier size variants might require larger washing machine capacity
  • Long pile may trap small debris, requiring regular vacuuming

Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully unroll your Buddy Rug in the desired location.
  2. Flatten: Allow the rug a few hours to flatten completely. For quicker results, you can gently roll it in the opposite direction.
  3. Position: Place the rug with the non-slip backing face down.
  4. Smooth Surfaces: If placing on very smooth surfaces (e.g., polished wood, tile), consider using a separate 'Rug Grip Hold' for optimal stability, as recommended. Lay the grip first, then place the rug on top.

Compatibility

This rug is designed to be suitable for any location in the home, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and even children's rooms, thanks to its durable, anti-shedding, and mould-resistant properties. Its variety of sizes (60 x 100 cm, 80 x 120 cm, 140 x 200 cm, and circular approx. 100 cm) ensures compatibility with diverse room layouts and furniture arrangements.

Care

  • Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting or a low-pile brush to remove loose dirt and maintain the shaggy pile.
  • Spot Cleaning: For small spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
  • Machine Washing: The rug is easily washed at 40C. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Allow to air dry completely; avoid direct sunlight or high heat.
  • Stain Resistance: Its 100% Polypropylene material is inherently stain resistant, simplifying the cleaning process for most common spills.
  • Anti-Shedding: The advanced construction minimizes shedding, but occasional loose fibers are normal, especially when new. Simply vacuum them up.
