1. Introduction
This instruction manual provides essential information for the proper use and maintenance of your Lahome Zelie Trellis Washable Runner Rug. Designed for comfort and durability, this rug features a timeless diamond checkerboard pattern and a non-slip backing, making it suitable for various indoor spaces.
The rug is crafted with a low pile height, approximately 0.31 inches, which is ideal for high-traffic areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, hallways, and entryways. Its construction helps to dampen noise and protect wood floors from scratches and general wear.

2. Setup and Initial Placement
Upon receiving your rug, it may exhibit temporary creases due to packing and shipping. These are not defects and will gradually recede over time. To expedite the flattening process:
- Reverse Rolling: Carefully unroll the rug and then roll it in the opposite direction, pattern side out.
- Weight Application: Place heavy, flat objects (such as books or furniture) on the creased areas for a few days.
- Allow Time: Allow ample time for the rug to settle. Creases and waves will normally flatten out with regular use.
Ensure the floor surface where the rug will be placed is clean and dry to maximize the effectiveness of the non-slip backing.

4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care ensures the longevity and appearance of your Lahome Zelie Trellis Runner Rug. Follow these guidelines for cleaning:
Routine Cleaning:
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the front and back of the rug using a low-power setting.
- Shaking: For deeper dirt removal, take the rug outside and gently whack the back to dislodge debris.
Spot Cleaning (for oil, ink stains, or prolonged dirt):
- Prepare Solution: Mix a mild detergent with water.
- Apply: Use a damp sponge to lightly dab the stained area. Always dab in the direction of the soft side of the rug.
- Rinse: Lightly dab the rug with a clean, damp sponge to rinse. Avoid soaking the rug.
- Dry: Use clean towels to soak up excess water. Allow the rug to air-dry completely.
Machine Washing:
For thorough cleaning, the rug can be machine washed. Perform routine vacuuming and shaking (steps 1 and 2 above) before machine washing.
- Wash Cycle: Wash on a cold setting with mild detergent. Use a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Allow the rug to air-dry. Avoid continuous exposure to direct sunlight.
Important Safety Note: Avoid exposing the rug to high heat sources. Always follow care instructions to prevent fire hazards. Be aware that the rug's sound absorption properties may slightly delay the detection of smoke or fire alarms.

5. Troubleshooting
- Creases or Waves: If creases persist after initial setup, try reverse rolling the rug again or placing heavy objects on the affected areas for an extended period. Warmth (e.g., from sunlight, but avoid continuous direct exposure) can sometimes help relax the fibers.
- Color Appearance: The color of the rug may appear different under various lighting conditions (e.g., dim light, bright light, natural light, warm light, cool light). Additionally, colors can vary slightly when viewed on different electronic screens. This is normal and not a product defect.
