We suggest you unfold your rug as soon as possible to allow it to begin settling. You may notice lines or creases in your rug when you first lay it out. These are completely normal and not permanent. Depending on the tension of the fold, it can take a few days or a week outdoors (helped along by sun and fresh air) to completely flatten.
Everyday
Shake off loose dirt or leaves, then sweep or vacuum as normal. For a deeper clean, hose it down and let it dry flat in the sun before putting furniture back on it.
Rain and damp ground
This rug is made for outdoor use, so rain and a damp patio or decking won't damage it. It won't soak up water the way an indoor rug would. If it's sitting in a puddle or on ground that stays wet for long periods, lift and prop it up to let air get underneath so it dries fully.
If something spills
Blot it straight away with a clean, dry cloth. Start at the outside edge of the mark and work inwards, so you gather the spill together instead of pushing it wider.
Rain and everyday splashes are fine outdoors - just avoid letting anything greasy or sugary sit on the surface for days, as this is what actually causes staining, not the water itself.
Being straight with you: these rugs are stain resistant, not stain proof. Deal with a spill in the first few minutes and it lifts. Leave it for days and it may not.
Polypropylene, built for outside
Polypropylene doesn't absorb liquid the way natural fibres do, so rain, condensation and spills sit on the surface instead of sinking in - that's what makes it suitable for outdoor use and easy to clean. It also resists fading from sun exposure far better than most other materials. For a dried mark, a wet cloth with a little mild detergent, blotted rather than rubbed, or a hose-down for a full refresh. Not suitable for machine washing.
Storing over winter
If you're putting it away for the colder months, make sure it's completely dry first, then roll it loosely rather than folding tightly, and store it somewhere dry. This keeps it free of mildew and stops sharp creases forming.
If anything does go wrong, our team sorts it out. A person, not a form.

Questions & Answers

Can it be cut to size
Unfortunately, we do not offer this service . Please avoid cutting the products yourself. If you have more questions, feel free to ask! 😊

I've just recently purchased an ecology collection outdoor rug for our deck. With the great British summer being the way it is on day 2 it poured and the rug is saturated with rainwater and the deck is wet underneath. I would have thought with it being an outdoor rug it would have been quick drying or at least a material where it didn't soak up the water and soak through. It seems a bit silly to have to hang it up to dry (we have the largest) or move it every time it rains. Is this to be expected? Can it not get wet?
Rest assured, the item you've purchased is designed to be weather-resistant and can handle rain without needing any additional steps from you. It will naturally dry on its own. Just a friendly reminder, it's a good idea to avoid leaving the product water-pool for extended periods to prevent any potential issues 😊✨
Frequently asked questions
How long does delivery take?
Free delivery on every rug to UK mainland addresses. Order before 12pm on a working day and your rug is dispatched the same day. Couriers do not deliver on bank holidays, and a small number of rural postcodes carry a courier surcharge that is shown at checkout before you pay. Your tracking number is emailed as soon as the parcel leaves us. Full details are in our shipping and return policy.
Can I return a rug if it is not right?
Yes. You have 30 calendar days from the day your rug is delivered to start a return. For rugs up to 90 cm wide, book a free Royal Mail return label and drop the parcel at any post office. For larger sizes, message us with your order number and we arrange a collection from your address. Please repack the rug in its original packaging, because rugs that reach us damaged cannot be refunded.
Which rug size should I choose?
Measure your furniture first, then the floor. In a living room, 160x230 cm sits well under a 3 seater sofa with the front legs on the rug, and 200x290 cm carries a full seating group in a larger room. Bedrooms usually want 120x170 cm beside the bed or 200x290 cm under a double, while hallways and galley kitchens suit an 80x300 cm runner. For dining rooms, allow about 60 cm of rug past the table on every side so chairs stay on the pile when they are pulled out, and our guide on how to choose the ideal rug for your room works through this room by room.
How do I clean and look after my rug?
Vacuum regularly and blot spills straight away with a clean, dry cloth, working from the outside of the mark inwards. Avoid soaking the rug, because a backing that stays wet for a long time can change shape. Many of our rugs are stain resistant rather than stain proof, so the sooner you deal with a spill the better the result. Full instructions, including wool and shaggy pile, are in our rug care guide.
What are your rugs made from?
Most of our rugs are woven from heat set polypropylene, which handles daily traffic and holds its colour, and the range also includes wool, viscose and jute pieces. Every product page lists pile material, backing, pile height, pile weight, construction and origin in the specification panel, so you can check the detail before you buy. Rugs tested to OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 show that certification in the same panel. Where a rug suits underfloor heating, the product page says so.
Will the rug slide on hard floors?
On wood, tile and laminate a rug can shift, so we recommend a non-slip underlay, which also adds a little cushioning and protects the pile. A dense low pile with a jute backing sits flatter from the start than a deep shaggy pile. Creases from folding are normal and usually settle within a few days to a week once the rug is unrolled. You can add a rug gripper to your order from our rug accessories.
