🧼 Caring for Your Outer Rug
Wash as often as you like.
Your outer rug is designed for easy care. It can be washed in a domestic
machine—an express cycle of around 1 hour works beautifully, but don’t be
afraid of those 14-minute quick washes. We've tried them and they do the job!
Wash at 40°C or less.
Ironing is optional (for the perfectionists among us - please send action pictures for our socials if you do)
Skip the tumble dryer. While the materials can handle it, the rug comes out nearly dry from the machine.
No bleach – unless “bleached horse rug chic” is your aesthetic (and you’re okay with the smell).
No dry cleaning – unless you’ve truly lost the plot. We're keeping things
planet-friendly and chemical-light.
💧 Do You Need to Reproof the Outer Rug
The outer fabric is finished with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) Finish and benefits from intermittent re-proofing.
If you do want to reproof, we recommend Nikwax Rug Proof – it’s PFC-free and highly effective.
🫧 Washing Your Waterproof
Breathable Liner
Yes, it can go in your home washing machine.
Wash at 40°C or less.
Use non-bio detergent.
Skip the fabric softener – it damages the waterproof membrane.
Add a second rinse and spin to remove detergent residue.
Line dry only. A slight mottled appearance while drying is normal—the
membrane absorbs some water but returns to normal once dry.
Do not iron – unless you’re wildly ambitious (we haven’t dared to try).
No bleach – unless you’re aiming to ruin it.
No dry cleaning – unless you're looking for an expensive way to wreck a rug.
