Care and maintenance
Vacuum regularly on low power. Spot clean stains with a damp cloth and mild soap – do not rub. Do not machine wash as this damages the wool and latex. Air the rug outdoors 2-3 times a year.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a hand-tufted rug and a hand-knotted rug?
A hand-tufted rug like this Bongusta Lucky Cat is made by pushing wool yarn through a fabric with a tufting gun, after which the backing is sealed with latex. A hand-knotted rug is woven knot by knot on a loom, which takes longer and usually costs more. Hand-tufted rugs are denser and heavier than machine-woven rugs but lighter than hand-knotted ones.
Can the Lucky Cat rug be used on underfloor heating?
Yes, the rug can be used on underfloor heating. The latex backing tolerates moderate heat. Ensure the floor heating does not exceed 27-28 degrees Celsius, as higher temperatures over time can make the latex brittle. Wool is naturally insulating, so the rug will slightly reduce heat emission.
Is the Lucky Cat rug a good housewarming gift?
Yes, the maneki-neko symbolism makes it a fitting housewarming gift. In Japanese tradition, the beckoning cat is said to bring luck to the home and attract positive energy. The rug’s size (65x60 cm) makes it practical for entryways in apartments and houses. It’s a personal gift with cultural significance.
How do I hang the rug as wall decoration?
Use a thin wooden rod or curtain rod slightly wider than the rug’s 60 cm width. Fold the top edge of the rug backward and sew a pocket for the rod, or use rug clips. Alternatively, sew small loops on the back and hang it on hooks. Avoid drilling holes directly into the rug.
What do the different symbols on the Lucky Cat rug mean?
The maneki-neko (beckoning cat) symbolizes welcome and good fortune. A cat with its right paw raised is said to attract money and prosperity, while the left paw attracts customers and guests. The four-leaf clover is a universal symbol of luck. The coin motifs refer to the Japanese koban coin and symbolize wealth. Together, the motifs create a traditional lucky design.
