Questions

The fabric is, in cold water on a gentle cycle. Whether your machine will take a given size is a separate question that depends on the weight of the rug against the capacity of your drum. Everything up to five by seven is a normal domestic load. Six by nine needs a large machine. Nine by twelve does not fit a domestic washer at all. The washer fit table works this out size by size.

On sealed wood, tile, laminate or concrete, the rubber backing grips well enough on its own. On top of carpet nothing grips and you need a proper rug to carpet gripper. On vinyl flooring, use a felt pad, because rubber backings can leave a permanent yellow stain in vinyl and flooring manufacturers ask for non rubberised, non staining mats.

Most lines are quoted at 0.35 inches of pile and a few at 0.25. That clears the gap under most interior doors, which is the main reason to buy a rug this thin. It also means the rug is soft rather than plush, and it will not insulate a cold floor the way a thick rug does.

A polyester face, a cotton and felt middle, and a textured thermoplastic rubber back. The design is digitally printed onto a machine woven base rather than woven from dyed yarn.

Over years, in a walking line, a printed rug goes pale before it goes bald, because the pattern is on the surface rather than through the yarn. That is the trade at this price. It argues for putting a printed rug in a bedroom or living room rather than in the first six feet inside a front door.

Only on an air cycle with no heat. The backing is a thermoplastic rubber and heat softens it; a hot cycle is what turns a grippy backing into a tacky or cracked one. Line drying flat is better.

Because they are the same design. A single Rugcomf design is sold in dozens of size and colour combinations that share one review pool, so the rating and the review count belong to the design rather than to the individual size. We show it once per design and say which design a rug belongs to.

Because the retailer currently has no active offer on that listing. We leave those in the catalogue, because they usually come back, and we show no price rather than guessing at one.

They are our grouping of the brand’s colour names into families, not measured samples. Use them to narrow a list, then look at the photographs, and expect a distressed print to arrive a shade deeper than a brightly lit product shot.

These ship folded rather than rolled. Lay it flat and give it a few days; turning it face down for a day helps a stubborn crease. Do not use heat on it.
