Washing in Washing Machine

Discover how to best clean your washable rugs in the washing machine by following these simple steps.
Keep your rugs fresh and in excellent condition with the right settings and precautions.

Preparation

Before putting the rug in the washing machine, make sure to remove dust and surface dirt using a vacuum cleaner or by shaking the rug well. This will prevent dirt from accumulating in the washing machine filter.

Put the rug inside the washing machine leaving the top part of the design outside.

Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water (not exceeding 40°C). Choose a mild detergent free of bleach or whitening agents, to preserve the colors and materials of the rug.

Do not overuse detergent; a small amount will be sufficient to achieve effective cleaning without leaving residues.

It is recommended not to use fabric softener.

Dryer

Manual Cleaning

Localized Stains
For small stains, apply a solution of warm water and a mild detergent directly to the stain. Gently blot with a clean cloth until the stain is removed. Do not rub, as you may damage the fibers.
Rinse
After cleaning the stain, rinse the area with a damp cloth to remove any soap residue, then blot dry with a dry cloth.

IMPORTANT NOTE

"Washable" Colors for Children

Our chenille microfiber rug is washable, but water-based colors declared "washable", such as tempera or watercolors, are difficult to remove. The fabric structure, similar to porous materials, allows pigments to penetrate deeply into the microfiber. For best results, we recommend treating stains immediately with warm water and mild detergents, repeating the process several times until completely removed before the color dries.
