Selection & Care
Our cotton, jute, vinyl, and viscose rugs can only be used indoors, while our polypropylene rugs can be used both indoors or out seamlessly.
A rug pad is recommended for rugs without anti-slip backings to prevent slippage and also add an extra layer of cushioning for your feet. On our website, every product has a Description tab that will recommend a rug pad if necessary.
All rugs have care instructions on the product Description tab of our website. It is important that you read this carefully. If in doubt, feel free to contact our Customer Care team at info@avocadodecor.com for help.
On our website, every product has a Description tab that contains a section called Care Instructions where you can learn how to care for your rug and whether or not it is machine washable.
It depends on the washing capacity of your washing machine and also the size of the rug you are interested in. We recommend to only machine-wash rugs sized at 3' x 5' and under in residential washing machines.
Bigger rugs can be washed in large capacity washing machines typically available at your local laundromat.
Rugs in the Antigua collection will shed during the first couple months. The shedding comes due to the short yarn filaments of viscose. The degree of shedding will vary depending on the type of material (wool and viscose rugs shed more than cotton or polypropylene rugs), the quality of the material, the tightness of the weave and the pile height (shag and plush pile rugs will shed more than short pile rugs).
To "speed up" the shedding process, we recommend gentle but regular vacuuming of the rug during the first month or so. Make sure your vacuum is set to the lowest setting and that the vacuum head's bristles/beater bar is turned off. Too much suction power or vacuuming with bristles can actually damage the rug and cause more shedding to appear.
With rugs in the Dhurrie collection, a musty smell especially around the months of June to September is common because it is rainy season in India. Every rug goes through a final wash cycle before it is packed and ready for shipment. During rainy season, the rugs take a lot longer to dry and there is a chance that the rug may still be slightly damp when it is packed in its bag for shipment, resulting in the musty smell when it arrives.
To get rid of the smell, simply throw the rug in the washing machine along with some vinegar. This should eliminate the smell and also give it a nice re-fluff!
