FAQs
Can this rug be used outdoors?
Yes, the Homemaker Rug is designed to be durable and hard-wearing, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor high-traffic areas.
How do I clean this rug?
This rug requires a surface shampoo clean only. Use a mild carpet shampoo and follow its instructions. Blot spills immediately and do not iron the rug.
Do I need an additional anti-slip grip?
While the rug features an anti-slip gel backing, an additional 'Rug Grip Hold' or similar anti-slip rug grip is advisable for internal use on hard flooring to prevent slippage and enhance safety.
What material is the rug made from?
The rug is machine woven from 100% Polypropylene, known for its durability and ease of care.
Does this rug look like a natural fiber rug?
Yes, its design is inspired by traditional sisal rugs, offering a similar aesthetic that blends well with various decor styles.
Can I iron the Homemaker Rug?
No, you must not iron this rug. Ironing can damage the polypropylene fibers and the gel backing.
Is this rug good for areas with heavy foot traffic?
Absolutely. The flatweave pile and durable polypropylene construction make it ideal for high-traffic areas, ensuring it withstands significant wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Rug slides on hard flooring.
For internal use on hard floors, it is advisable to use a separate anti-slip rug grip, such as the 'Rug Grip Hold,' in conjunction with the rug's integrated gel backing to ensure maximum stability and prevent slippage.
Rug has creases or curled edges after unrolling.
Lay the rug flat for a few days. If creases persist, roll the rug tightly in the opposite direction for a short period, then unroll it. You can also place heavy objects on the corners for 24-48 hours to help flatten them.
Stains or dirt visible on the rug.
Perform a surface shampoo clean using a mild carpet shampoo. Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or using abrasive cleaners, as this can damage the fibers.
Rug appears dull or worn over time.
Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar or on a high setting) helps remove embedded dirt. Periodic surface shampoo cleaning will refresh the fibers and maintain the rug's appearance. Ensure proper drying after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully unroll the rug in your desired location. If it was rolled tightly, it might have temporary creases or curled edges. Lay it flat.
- Flattening: To help the rug lie flat quickly, roll it in the opposite direction for a short period, then unroll. Placing heavy books or furniture on the corners for a day or two can also help.
- Positioning: For internal use on hard flooring (like wood, tile, or laminate), it is highly advisable to place a dedicated anti-slip rug grip underneath the rug to prevent slippage and ensure safety. The built-in gel backing provides some stability, but an additional grip offers superior traction.
Compatibility
- Surfaces: Suitable for most flooring types, including carpet, wood, tile, laminate, and concrete.
- Environments: Designed for both indoor and outdoor high-traffic areas. This includes living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, kitchens, entryways, patios, decks, and conservatories.
Care
- Cleaning: The rug requires surface shampoo clean only. Use a mild carpet shampoo or detergent diluted according to product instructions. Gently scrub the surface with a soft brush or cloth, then blot dry with a clean towel.
- Stains: Address spills immediately by blotting with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug to remove loose dirt and debris. Use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or with the beater bar set to a high pile setting to prevent damage to the flatweave.
- Do Not Iron: Absolutely do not iron the rug, as the heat can damage the polypropylene fibers and gel backing.
- Drying: If the rug becomes wet, ensure it is thoroughly air-dried before placing it back in position, especially if used outdoors or in damp areas.
