6. How to Wash Your SERISSA Rug

Our rugs are designed for easy everyday care and can be machine washed, vacuumed, or cleaned with a broom or cloth.

For deeper cleaning, follow these basic washing guidelines:

Machine Washing

• Wash the rug separately
• Use cold water
• Do not use bleach
• Do not use chlorine
• Always follow the care instructions provided with your specific rug

For routine cleaning, you can also vacuum the rug or clean the surface with a broom or cloth.

Important

Machine-washable does not mean that every rug size can be washed in every household washing machine.

Before washing, make sure your washer has sufficient capacity for the size of your rug. If your washer is not large enough, a commercial-size washing machine may be more suitable.

---

7. Washer Capacity Guide

The recommended washer capacity varies depending on the size of the rug.

Use the guide below as a reference when determining whether your washing machine is suitable.

For best results, we recommend taking 8' × 10', 9' × 12', 10' × 12', and 10' × 14' rugs to a commercial laundromat with an appropriately sized washer.

Washer capacity is provided as a general reference. Always make sure the rug can move freely inside the washer and follow the care instructions provided with your specific product.

---

8. How to Clean Your Rug Between Washes

For regular maintenance, you do not need to machine wash your rug every time.

Vacuuming

Vacuum regularly to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris.

Broom

A broom can be used to remove surface debris from the rug.

Cloth

For small areas that need cleaning, use a cloth to gently clean the surface.

For deeper cleaning, follow the machine-washing instructions above.

---

9. New Rug Creases

Because rugs may be folded or rolled during packaging and shipping, temporary creases may appear when your rug is first unpacked.

This is normal and does not necessarily indicate a defect.

To help your rug settle:

1. Unpack and lay the rug flat.
2. Gently smooth the surface.
3. Allow the rug to rest flat.
4. Give the rug time to naturally relax and settle.

The time required for creases to disappear can vary depending on the rug, temperature, humidity, and how the rug was packaged.

10. Before You Buy: Measure Your Space

Not sure which size to choose?

Use painter's tape to outline the dimensions of the rug directly on your floor.

This gives you a simple 1:1 visualization of how the rug will fit with your existing furniture and helps you avoid choosing a size that is too small or too large.

When measuring, remember to consider:

• Furniture placement
• Door clearance
• Walkways
• Room proportions
• Available floor space
• Washer capacity if you plan to machine wash the rug
