Natural-fibre rugs can be sensitive to moisture and aggressive agitation. Begin with the rug's care label, then decide whether the robot should cross, vacuum or avoid it.

A practical checklist
- Check whether rotating brushes and robot cleaning are permitted.
- Keep mops away using removal or a reliably tested no-mop arrangement.
- Inspect bound edges and loose fibres during the first supervised run.
What this looks like at home
A hard-floor mop routine may need a route around a jute runner rather than relying on a small mop lift.
Crossing a rug is not the same as caring for it
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Fibres and construction | Check brush and cleaning restrictions. |
| Edge and pile | Inspect the actual crossing, not just nominal thickness. |
| Wet cleaning | Confirm the complete route keeps unsuitable rugs dry. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not use wet passes to remove marks from a moisture-sensitive natural-fibre rug.
