How to care for your new Bottlebrush Rug

Use a rug underlay, to be placed under the entire rug (trimmed to size) to protect your floor and the rug.

Regular care (weekly)

  • Regular airing is recommended. Vacuum the rug on low suction vacuum rug regularly at least once or twice a week depending on foot traffic. To avoid dirt getting deep into the fibres, rotate the rug regularly. Do not use harsh chemicals/bleach as they may damage or fade the rug colour keep away from fire and direct heat sources.
  • Must be completely dry before storing away to prevent mould/mildew
    avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight.

Spot cleaning

  • Attend to the stains immediately do not rub.
  • Use paper towels to absorb.
  • Scrap off any solids with a knife or spoon carefully.

Note: Being hand woven/tufted, you may experience some sprouting of small tufts of fibres. This is a natural occurrence and not a manufacturing defect. Any individual threads that have come loose can be simply cut even with the pile surface. Shedding and pilling is normal due to the nature of the construction.

      Love the green

      We are really happy with the quality of the rug and it is styled well in a house and the tone of green is perfect with our couch.

      Great price for the size

      Bottlebrush Rug in Dirt Track

      Bottlebrush Rug in Dirt Track - took 2 months for delivery. The colour is a lighter shade in person than I thought when looking at the pictures online, to me online it looks like a deeper brown/orange tone in person it’s a more muted light brown which is a nice colour. Good rug for high traffic, not a super soft rug but feels durable, have only had it for two weeks but it doesn’t seem to be shedding much. Doesn’t have any bad smell and is thick enough that it doesn’t move or kick up at the corners.

      Even photos I take of it do not represent colour to eye.

      Only complaint is the lengthy delivery time.

      we love it!

      We were a little concerned at first that the colour wasn't quite what it was displayed on the website, but after a few days we decided we actually really liked it. Its such a unique colour, very true to the Bush Scrub name! It's probably now one of my favourite purchases, it's really brought our living area together. It's the perfect size for us, it was easy to unroll, and it's been very easy to maintain.

    Frequently asked questions

    How often should I get my rug cleaned?

    Wool rugs require a professional clean every 1-3yrs, Frequency depends on the level of activity and how often are stains removed, properly vacuumed.

    Jute and Jute blended rugs —vacuum regularly or dust when required. These rugs should not be wet cleaned.
    For a more detailed guide on cleaning your rug, you can download the Koala Rug care guide .

    Is a wool rug better than a jute rug or a synthetic rug?

    At Koala, we’re focused on creating a sustainable future, and hence designed our rugs with an environmentally sustainable approach where possible and because it is the right thing to do. So whichever rug you choose, rest assured that they are made keeping you in mind.

    Wool rugs
    Wool is natural, renewable, planet friendly and ocean safe.
    Our wool rugs are made from natural NZ wool, using the highest standards to ensure they are not only responsibly sourced but are also ethically sourced.

    Jute and Jute blend rugs
    Our Jute and Jute blended rugs are made from Jute which is a durable colour that can withstand high traffic areas and has minimal shedding, good for homes with pets, though not 100% pet proof.

    Recycled Polyester rugs
    The tufted colours are made using recycled plastic bottles, so for every rug made, it means less waste going into landfill. These rugs are easy to care for and extremely versatile.

    Can I put my rug under the furniture?

    Yes, however due to the rugs being handmade, care must be taken to rotate the rug occasionally. Avoid placing a chair with castor wheels e.g. an office chair, as it can get caught in the weave and damage the rug.
