Q: Can I use my rug outside?
A: No. Natural rugs are for indoor use only. They will not hold up to repeated exposure to moisture so they are not recommended for outside use or for use in bathrooms, kitchens or screened in porches.
Q: How do I care for my seagrass rug?
A: Please see our cleaning page for specific spills. Regular vacuuming is the best method for keeping up the appearance of your rug.
Q: Do I need a rug pad?
A: Our rugs come with latex backing that prevents slipping. We strongly recommend the use of a rug pad at all times to protect both the rug and the floor. Please also see our option for urethane-backed Seagrass and Mountain Grass rugs.
