How to Keep Your Ecorugs Fresh and Clean
Louis De Poortere’s Ecorugs are not only a shining example of sustainable design—they’re also surprisingly easy to maintain. Made from 100% recyclable polyester, these rugs are built for everyday use and a spin in the washing machine. In this blog, you’ll discover how to keep your Ecorug in top condition, which stain remover actually works, and why these rugs are ideal for any home.
Washable? Absolutely – Just Use Your Washing Machine!
You read that right: all Ecorugs are fully machine washable. Thanks to their high-quality, durable polyester material, these rugs can be washed on a cold cycle (30°C) without issue. That makes them perfect for families with kids, pets, or allergy sufferers.
Everyday Care: Vacuuming and Airing Out
Even though you can wash them easily, there’s no need to do so every week. A little regular care keeps your Ecorug fresh either way:
- Vacuum weekly using a vacuum without a rotating brush (or with the brush function turned off).
- Air out the rug regularly, especially when used in humid areas or outdoors.
James Starter Set: Your Go-To Stain Kit
For quick cleanups or stubborn stains, the James Starter Set is a true lifesaver. This professional stain remover is designed for modern rugs, including Ecorugs, and includes:
- James Stainwonder – ideal for stains like wine, coffee, and blood
- James Stainspray – great for fresh accidents
- James Water – safe for everyday cleaning
- Staindisc & cloth – for quick and safe application
Perfect for Indoor & Outdoor Use
Many Ecorugs are designed to be used both inside and out. Thanks to their quick-drying and mold-resistant properties, they’re ideal for patios, balconies, and verandas. After a season outdoors? Toss it in the wash, and it’s ready for indoor use again.
