Deja in Multicoloured is woven from polypropylene, a synthetic fibre that takes up hardly any water. The colourful pattern gives a plain floor and quieter furniture some life.

• 100% polypropylene pile on a jute backing
• Machine-woven in Turkey
• Flat weave, rectangular
• Suitable for indoors and outdoors

Because Deja is woven on a jacquard loom, the lines come out crisp and the pattern stays even across the whole surface. This colourful synthetic fibre rug is easy to place in most rooms. It makes sense as one of the flatweave rugs for a busy kitchen, where a kitchen rug has to cope with crumbs and the odd splash. Deja is just as at home as a dining room rug, with chairs sliding over the flat weave. Beside the sofa, the colourful design adds life to a living room corner. Out on a terrace it also works as an outdoor rug, and in the house a heated floor underneath is fine. Mind the heat, though: polypropylene is sensitive to heat, so keep hot pans and irons well away. Deja comes in several sizes, and choosing the right size is easier with the guide to hand.

Looking after Deja in Multicoloured

Our rug care guide starts with the simplest point: spills sit on the fibre for a while, so there is time to blot. If a mark stays, dab it with a little mild detergent in water, then once more with clean water. Non-slip underlay, a little smaller than the rug, stops it sliding and keeps the corners flat. A brush-head vacuum is fine for the short, flat surface.
