Are Becki Owens rugs machine washable?
Select Becki Owens x LIVABLISS rugs with no pile construction can be machine washed on a cold delicate cycle and line dried. Check individual product descriptions for care instructions. Most feature durable polyester fibers that resist staining and maintain color through regular use.
What makes Uttermost wool rugs worth the investment?
Hand woven wool rugs from Uttermost offer natural stain resistance, temperature regulation, and exceptional longevity. Wool fibers contain lanolin that repels liquids and resists dirt. Properly maintained wool rugs last decades and often become heirloom pieces passed through generations.
How do I prevent my jute rug from shedding?
Natural fiber shedding is normal during the first few months as fibers settle. Vacuum regularly with suction only to remove loose particles. Never pull sprouting fibers as this damages the weave. Clip any loose fibers flush with scissors instead. Shedding decreases significantly after the initial settling period.
Can I use area rugs with radiant floor heating?
Becki Owens x LIVABLISS rugs are certified safe for underfloor heating systems. Low pile and no pile constructions allow heat transfer while adding warmth and style. Avoid placing thick wool rugs over radiant heat as they may block heat flow and reduce system efficiency.
What rug pad should I use on hardwood floors?
Natural rubber rug pads provide the best grip without damaging hardwood finishes. Avoid PVC or plastic pads that can discolor floors over time. Felt and rubber combination pads add cushion while preventing slipping. Cut pads one inch smaller than your rug on all sides so edges remain invisible.
