Care Instructions
Basic Care
Use a vacuum cleaner to keep your rug looking fresh and dust-free. For spills, a dab of mild soap and water will do the trick—just don’t toss them in the washing machine or use bleach.
Shedding
Safari Collective rugs may shed a bit at first. No worries, though—it’ll settle down over time. If you spot any loose fibers, give them a trim or a gentle tug with tweezers.
Choose Your Spot
Whether on the wall or in a cozy corner, these rugs thrive best in low-traffic areas. Steer clear of shoes and heavy foot traffic—these beauties are made for lounging, not for trampling!
Hanging Instructions
Hang rugs with ease using nails, push pins, or strong Velcro Command Strips for a secure, non-permanent option. For heavier floor rugs, opt for spring clamps from a hardware store, or find decorative options online. Ensure stability by locating wall studs. Google “hanging quilt techniques” for additional alternative solutions.
Not Bathroom Safe
While some rugs frequently feature the ocean or water, they’re not keen on bath time. Keep ’em dry and avoid using them as bath mats.
Staying Fresh
Like any good safari, rugs may pick up a bit of dirt along the way. For a deeper clean, try Bissell Little Green carpet cleaner—perfect for tackling stains and bringing back those vibrant colors.
