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.

      Beautiful colour and quality

      The quality of this rug is felt as soon as taking it out of the box! The colour compliments my Lounging Sofa in Grey Gum, and it also receives lots of compliments from family and friends! Another great buy from Koala :)

      Great sustainably made rug

      Ordered my new Bottlebrush rug from Koala and couldn't be happier. Made from recycled materials; soft underfoot; perfect length of pile. Looks great in situ.

    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.
