Wash steps:
1.Start by separating the Rug Cover from the Rug Pad. They can be easily detached.
2.Take the Rug Cover and shake off any loose debris or dirt outside.
3.Pop the Rug Cover into the washing machine. Use the cold water setting and a gentle cycle. It's essential to avoid using hot water as it may cause shrinkage or damage.
4.To ensure thorough cleaning, you can add a small amount of gentle laundry detergent. Be sure to follow the detergent instructions for proper usage.
5.Once the washing cycle is complete, hang the Rug Cover to air dry or put it in your dryer on low heat.
6.While the Rug Cover is drying, you can tackle the Rug Pad. Spot-clean it using a gentle detergent and a soft brush. Rinse it thoroughly and let it air dry as well.
7.Once both the Rug Cover and Rug Pad are completely dry, reattach them, and you're good to go!

Dry steps:
1.After completing the washing cycle, gently take the Rug Cover out of the washing machine.

Should I clean my rug cover with a scrubbing brush?
No, you should not brush your Rug Cover. Brushing may potentially damage the fibres or alter the texture of the rug. It's best to stick to vacuuming and spot cleaning. By regularly vacuuming and occasionally spot cleaning, you can help keep your stain-resistant Mercirugs rug looking fresh and clean.
Can I use bleach when washing rug cover?
It is generally not recommended to use bleach when washing your rug cover, as it can cause damage to the fibres and affect the colour and appearance of the rug. Bleach is a harsh chemical that can weaken the fibres of your rug cover and cause them to become brittle, faded, or discoloured.
Can I use fabric softener when washing rug cover?
We do not recommend to use fabric softener when washing your rug cover. Fabric softeners are designed to make fabrics feel soft by leaving a coating of chemicals on the fibres, which can affect the appearance of your rug cover. It is recommended to use a mild detergent when washing your rug cover.
