Arts and Crafts Children's Rug

Kid Carpet Quality

This is similar to the carpet many people have in their home, yet strong enough for commercial use. It is durable, and very stain resistant. This rug is made of 100% nylon with serged edges for long wear. Serging is a sewing process that gives the carpet edges a nice finish and prevents them from fraying. Our mill maintains the most innovative and unique carpet printing machinery in the world. Compared to other educational suppliers where the product is printed with 256 dpi (dots per inch) technology, we manufacture and create our carpets at 625 dpi. What this means to you is a more crisp, detailed image with superior definition and clarity.

• Class 1 fire rating (meets government and school specifications for floor use)
• Mold and bacteria resistant
• Stain Resistant

FLAMMIBILITY TEST RESULTS:

Lifetime Limited Wear Warranty: Rug will not lose more than 10% of its fiber due to abrasion or rug will be replaced. In the event that the same rug design is not available, another style may be chosen. Damage caused by pets, tears, cuts, crushing, burns and improper maintenance or cleaning methods are not manufacturing defects and are excluded.

Serging Warranty: The serging around KidCarpets is made from the strongest fiber on the market. Unfortunately, however, it can still be damaged. Damage can result from many things, such as: cutting it with a sharp edge during opening, some types of abrasive cleaning equipment, children picking at it, etc. Therefore, our warranty on the serging is as follows: Customer can ship the rug to us at their expense (usually about $20 to $70, depending on the size). We will then repair the serging for free. We will then ship the rug back to you for free. Care must be taken not to vacuum over the serging. If you prefer, it is suggested that repairs be made using a hot glue gun at the first sign of fraying. This will prevent the serging from fraying further. Please refer to the "What You Need to Know Before You Buy" page for more details about the serging warranty.

Specifications are subject to normal manufacturing tolerances, and may be changed as manufacturer warrants.

THIS PRODUCT WILL SHIP WITHIN 1 TO 15 BUSINESS DAYS. AVERAGE PRODUCTION TIME IS APPROXIMATELY 5 TO 10 DAYS.

You will be notified when your order ships via email.

Actual lead time is determined by many factors. Our mill may have run extra of a particular item, which means that there would be no waiting for production and your order would ship out very quickly. In most cases, production takes 10 business days. Less commonly, there could have been a production issue which would increase the lead time to the maximum 15 business days.

Due to unforeseen circumstances that might arise with the carriers, KidCarpet.com cannot guarantee delivery dates.

Free Shipping: We offer free shipping on all area rug orders being delivered within the contiguous USA.

Free Shipping Small Parcel: As long as we have a valid email address with your order, we will email you the tracking number when your order ships. Most of the time, our rugs will be delivered to a residence without requiring a signature. The rug will be wrapped in plastic to help keep it dry, but please consider whether there is a weather safe place for the driver to leave your rug if you will not be home to receive it. Carriers will require a signature if delivering to a business.

Free Shipping Truck Freight: Curbside Delivery - Rugs that are 9' x 12' and larger, as well as some bulk orders will be shipped via freight line. Truck freight is different than standard UPS or FedEx in that it is curbside delivery and you will be responsible for carrying the product from the curb into your house or school or wherever it's going, unless a loading dock is available. The most important thing to remember about truck freight is that you must inspect the package at the time of delivery. If the roll has any damage, or if there is any reason for you to be at all concerned about damage, please write "PRODUCT DAMAGED" clearly on the sheet that they ask you to sign. This simply insures that if there is any damage, it will be easier to take care of the problem.

International Shipping:

Free shipping applies to the contiguous USA only. Unfortunately, we cannot ship orders for free to Alaska, Hawaii, US territories or anywhere outside the USA. However, we can provide a shipping quote if you are interested. This also applies to shipments going to Canada. 

International customers with an order going overseas can independently hire a freight forwarder/broker to handle pick up, freight, import duties and taxes of your order. Rug weight and dimensions can be provided upon request for this purpose.

You can expect years of beauty and enjoyment from a KidCarpet.com rug when it is maintained properly.

Unrolling

When first unrolled, a new rug may have a wrinkle or a bulge to appear that prevents it from lying flat on the floor. This is common and is a result of being tightly rolled or folded during shipment. The wrinkle is easily removed if the proper method is used.

• Lay the rug as flat as possible.
• Use a broom handle or similar pole and, starting in the center using a sweeping motion, push one half of the wrinkle to the left.
• Then push the remaining half of the wrinkle to the right side of the rug. This will help the rug to relax and lay in the proper position.

Cleaning

• Vacuum regularly. Vacuuming cannot wear out your carpet, but soil and dirt can. Even if you use entry mats, dirt and grit can eventually become embedded in your carpet's pile. When that happens, your carpet will become discolored and matted. Up to 80% of the soil in carpet is of the dry particulate type that can be removed with a vacuum cleaner.
• DO NOT run vacuum directly over outer serged edge of carpet. This can create fraying and breakage.
• DO NOT shake or beat the rug since this treatment could damage it.
• Clean spills immediately by blotting with a cloth or sponge. Remove any grease spots with ordinary dry cleaning solvents. We recommend the use of Capture Cleaning Kits (or another dry clean kit) for spot cleaning your carpet/rug. If you would like to know more about Capture, or if you would like to find a local retailer of Capture, Click here to go to the Capture web site. For more information on spot cleaning specific stains, please visit: carpet-rug.org
• It is always best to test a cleaner on an inconspicuous spot on the carpet/rug before applying to the entire piece.
• Household cosmetics, medications and chemicals can stain or remove color from your carpet or rug. These household culprits are often the cause of "mystery stains" because they may not affect the carpet for several days or even weeks. The best prevention is to keep household chemicals away from your carpet.
• Professional or periodic cleanings using the power spray-extraction carpet cleaning method are recommended. You should have the smallest possible amount of cleaning chemical used when you hire a professional cleaner. Allow to dry flat on the floor.

Removing indentations caused by furniture

• Indentations or depressions in carpet and rugs are considered a normal occurrence and are not considered a manufacturing defect. The Carpet and Rug Institute, a non-profit trade association of the carpet and rug industry, recommends the following to restore the pile: Depressions - The weight of heavy pieces of furniture can put indentations in carpet. Use furniture glides or cups under the legs of heavy pieces, or move your furniture a few inches backward or sideways so that the weight is not concentrated in one place. If depressions do occur, spritz the indentations with water in a spray bottle. Hold a hair dryer, set on medium, a few inches above the indentation. As the spot is drying use your fingers to gently work the pile upright and in the opposite direction.
