Regular care

  • Do not wet or wash or steam clean.
  • Do not use harsh chemicals/bleach as they may damage or fade the rug colour.
  • Keep away from fire and direct heat sources.

  • Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight.

Rotate the rug regularly

Regular airing and vacuuming the rug is recommended
vacuum rug regularly at least once or twice a week, depending on foot traffic, to avoid dirt getting deep into the fibres.

      Perfect large rug

      Works really well in the space. Rug is as shown and seems really hard wearing. Strangely the dog prefers sleeping on the rug to her dog bed. So I guess thats a deal of approval.

      Outback rug is a real winner!!!

      Best jute rug we’ve had to date…and we have had a few.

      This rug is made to last for quite some time.

      Ordering and delivery was seamless.

      Packaging of rug was great.

      Highly recommend.

      High quality materials

      Really good quality. I purchased a jute rug elsewhere and my cat didn’t like it, so I was worried about this one. But he loves it! Goes to show the quality of the jute, not artificial, very natural in texture and underfoot.

    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.
