Doing Goods collaborates with small weaving workshops in India, where each crocodile is handwoven on traditional looms. The wool is dyed before weaving, resulting in deeper colors than post-dyeing. The cotton backing stabilizes the rug and prevents it from slipping on smooth floors. Each rug has slight variations in color shades and proportions — this is the nature of craftsmanship, not defects.
The crocodile measures about 190 cm long and 65 cm wide across the belly. The wool is medium-soft (not the finest merino, but not coarse either), and the surface has a subtle texture from the handweaving. The rug weighs around 2 kg and lies steadily on the floor without a rug pad on most surfaces.
Care and maintenance
Vacuum on low power using a furniture nozzle — avoid rotating brushes that can pull wool fibers. For stains: gently blot with a damp cloth and mild soap, never rub. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Doing Goods animal rugs and regular children's rugs?
Doing Goods' animal rugs are handwoven from 100% wool under fair-trade conditions, while most children's rugs are machine-made from synthetic materials. Wool is naturally dirt-repellent and durable but requires more careful care than acrylic. Each rug has small variations because it is handmade.
Can the crocodile rug be machine washed?
No, the rug must not be machine washed. The wool will shrink and felt in the washing machine. Vacuum regularly and treat stains locally with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, take it to a professional wool cleaner.
Is the crocodile rug safe for crawling babies?
Yes, the rug is safe for children. The wool is naturally flame-retardant without chemical treatment, and there are no loose parts that can be swallowed. The cotton backing prevents slipping. However, children under 3 years should not be left alone with the rug due to its length — as with all large textiles.
Can the crocodile rug be hung on the wall instead of placed on the floor?
Yes, many hang it horizontally on the wall with hidden brackets or a thin wooden rod through the back. The rug weighs about 2 kg, so use proper wall screws. Hang it horizontally (not vertically) so the crocodile 'swims' along the wall.
Is the Doing Goods crocodile rug a good christening or birthday gift for children?
Yes, it is a popular christening and birthday gift for children aged 1-8 years. The rug lasts for many years and can be passed down. The fair-trade production appeals to parents who value sustainability. Wrap it in recycled tissue paper — the rug is too large for most gift boxes.

Handmade & unique product
Most of my products are handmade or hand-painted. This means that there may be variations in color, finish, and minor imperfections. These variations are a natural part of the handmade look and make each product unique. Minor differences are therefore not considered defects.
