Picture the kitchen floor on a wet Tuesday morning: muddy boots, a dropped slice of toast, the rain still dripping off your coat. Woven from synthetic fibre, the Deja in cream copes with rooms where life gets a bit messy. It works just as well on a balcony.

Will a cream flatweave cope with the kitchen?

The surface is flat, so this one stays easy to live with. For the pile, the Deja uses 100% polypropylene, a synthetic fibre that takes up almost no water. It suits underfloor heating too. The woven pattern in cream gives a quiet backdrop to wooden or tiled floors, and it suits the kitchen beside the worktop or under a table. Prefer something long and narrow for a galley kitchen? The Deja also comes as a runner in cream.

Is the cream Deja only an outdoor rug?

No. Deja works indoors and out. It was woven on a power loom in Turkey, and a jacquard machine keeps the lines of the design crisp and the pattern even across the whole surface. Seating in the lounge feels like one group when at least the front feet of the sofa and armchairs sit on it. Under a dining table, a flat surface also means chairs slide back without catching. If you want a round dining room rug, there is a round Deja in cream too. With the table measured, finding the right fit for the cream Deja is straightforward.

How do I clean the cream Deja?

Spills stay on the surface for a while, so blot them up first, then go over the mark with a mild soapy solution and dab again with clean water, following our rug care tips. Heat is the only thing to avoid, so keep hot pans away. If the pile gets flattened, a brush will lift it again. Vacuum it now and then.
