- Is a bamboo rug comfortable to walk on?
- No, not in the way a wool or shag rug is. Bamboo slats are firm and flat, so it feels more like a mat than a soft carpet. A rug pad underneath softens it slightly.
- Can it go outside?
- It is listed for indoor use only. Bamboo swells and warps with moisture, so keep it out of rain and off damp concrete. A covered, dry porch is the most exposure it should get.
- How do I clean it?
- Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry immediately. Avoid soaking it or using a wet vacuum, and sweep or vacuum with a hard-floor setting to lift grit from between the slats.
- Will it work under a dining table?
- Yes, its flat surface lets chairs slide easily and catches crumbs. Use felt pads on chair legs, since sharp or heavy legs can dent or split the bamboo.
- Does it need a rug pad?
- A thin pad is worth adding. It keeps the slats from sliding on hard floors, reduces noise and adds a little cushioning.
