Dry fully before putting a rug back

Follow the approved drying method and check the backing as well as the face. A surface that feels dry can still conceal dampness underneath. Do not place the rug back on the floor until it is fully dry. Keep direct heat or tumble drying out of the routine unless the product instructions explicitly allow them.

Start with the real room

Start with the instructions for the exact rug you own. General advice cannot account for every fibre, backing, finish or size. Save the label and any supplier guidance with your order details. If a cleaning method is not clearly permitted, ask before trying it. Care should preserve the material, not rely on the strongest available product.

Before you choose

1. Write down the exact product and size you are comparing. Keep the room measurements beside that record.
2. Check the full product gallery, not only the first image. Distinguish the selected option from room styling illustrations.
3. Read the specific care information and resolve any unanswered practical question with the supplier before ordering.

Continue your plan

Compare the relevant rug collection alongside your notes. Use the size guide to review proportions and the care guide for a starting checklist. The individual product label remains the authority for care.
