FAQs
Is the Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug suitable for machine washing?
Yes, absolutely! The Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug is specifically designed to be machine washable at 40 degrees Celsius, making it incredibly easy to keep clean and fresh.
What types of stains is this rug resistant to?
This rug features excellent stain resistance against many common household spills, including tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip pens, and non-oil based make-up. For best results, clean spills promptly.
Does this rug have a non-slip backing?
Yes, the Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug is equipped with a non-slip rubber backing to provide safety and help keep it securely in place. However, on very smooth surfaces, we recommend using an additional 'Rug Grip Hold' for optimal stability.
What is the pile height of the rug?
The rug features a beautifully soft 10mm pile height, offering a comfortable and plush feel underfoot.
Where is the Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug manufactured?
Our Buddy Rug collection is 100% designed and manufactured right here in Britain, and it also contains recycled materials, reflecting a commitment to quality and sustainability.
Can I use this rug in high-traffic areas?
Yes, made with 100% polypropylene and extra strong fibres, this rug is highly durable and designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for busy areas like hallways, living rooms, and kids' rooms.
Are there other sizes and colours available?
Yes, the Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug is available in a range of sizes (e.g., 60 x 100 cm, 80 x 120 cm, 140 x 200 cm, and circular 100 cm) and various colours to suit different spaces and preferences.
Troubleshooting
The rug is slipping or moving on my smooth floor.
While the rug has non-slip backing, for maximum security on very smooth surfaces like polished wood or tiles, we strongly recommend purchasing and placing a separate 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug. This provides additional friction to prevent movement.
A stain won't come out after washing.
Ensure you acted quickly to blot the stain before washing. Verify the stain type; the rug is resistant to many common stains (tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, non-oil based make-up), but not all, especially oil-based substances. Always machine wash at 40C using a mild detergent.
The shaggy pile looks flattened in high-traffic areas.
Shaggy piles can occasionally compress with heavy foot traffic. Gently shake the rug or use your fingers to fluff up the pile. Regular vacuuming (without a brush bar) can also help maintain its loft.
The rug has creases from packaging.
Upon unrolling, allow the rug some time (24-48 hours) to settle. Most creases will naturally relax and disappear as the rug lays flat. Placing heavy, flat objects on the corners for a short period can also help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting your Buddy Washable Shaggy Rug ready for use and keeping it in top condition is straightforward.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully unroll your new Buddy Rug in the desired location.
- Position: Adjust the rug to sit flat on your floor. Allow some time for any creases from packaging to settle out naturally.
- Secure (Recommended): For optimum safety and to prevent movement on smooth surfaces (such as wood, laminate, or tile), it is highly recommended to use a separate 'Rug Grip Hold' underneath the rug. This will provide additional anti-slip security.
Compatibility
This rug is designed to be highly versatile and compatible with various home environments:
- Flooring: Suitable for use on most floor types, including carpet, wood, laminate, and tiles. Always use a 'Rug Grip Hold' on smooth surfaces.
- Rooms: Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, dining areas, children's rooms, and home offices.
- Sizes & Colors: Available in multiple sizes (60 x 100 cm, 80 x 120 cm, 140 x 200 cm, and a circular 100 cm diameter) and various colours to fit different spaces and decor styles. This specific guide is for the Blue variant.
Care & Maintenance
Following these simple care instructions will ensure your Buddy Rug remains beautiful and functional for years:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly with a brush-free attachment to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using a rotating brush bar, which can damage shaggy pile.
- Machine Washing: For deeper cleaning or stubborn stains, machine wash the rug at 40C. Use a mild detergent. Ensure your washing machine is large enough to accommodate the rug size without overcrowding.
- Drying: After washing, reshape the rug and allow it to air dry flat or hang dry. Avoid tumble drying to protect the non-slip backing and pile integrity.
- Stain Treatment: Thanks to its stain-resistant properties, many common spills can be blotted immediately with a clean cloth before washing. For specific listed stains (tea, coffee, wine, fake tan, washable felt tip, non-oil based make-up), the rug's material is designed for easy removal during washing.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong chemical cleaners, as these can damage the rug's fibres and colours.
