Cotton rugs

If you’re looking for an easy way to enhance your interiors, cotton rugs are a great choice. Affordable and easy on the eye, cotton carpets in a range of styles and classic colours. 

Make a statement with bold colours or embrace a more traditional aesthetic with neutral tones. If you need to create a focal point in an open-plan arrangement, large cotton rugs are the way to do it.

As well as being budget-friendly, cotton carpets are incredibly durable. Cotton flatweave rugs are a particularly good choice for high-traffic spaces like living rooms.

How to clean a cotton rug

It’s easy to keep cotton rugs looking their best. Keep on top of pet dander, dust and dirt by hoovering your rug regularly. If your carpet has fringed edges, use the upholstery attachment to gently remove any trapped debris. 

If you’re dealing with a spill, use a damp cloth and cold water to spot clean the area. However, make sure you protect any hardwood or carpeted surface beneath first. For more difficult stains, it’s best to bring in the services of a professional rug cleaner first. 

To keep cotton bath mats looking their best, clean them in the washing machine on a 30°C cycle. Always wash them separately and avoid using bleach or putting them in the tumble dryer. 

Cotton rugs are some of the most versatile home decors around. Soft, stylish and easy to care for, they can enhance more minted interiors or bring drama to more contemporary spaces calling out for some colour.
