This guide follows IKEA Korea's STOPP FILT 123×185 cm, article 705.502.11: a polyester underlay with synthetic latex coating designed to reduce rug movement and floor scratching. The cover is a generic living-room rug, not the product or an installation example.

1. Remove grit and dust from beneath the rug and check that the floor is dry; trapped grit can scratch flooring.
2. Choose an appropriate STOPP FILT size. IKEA allows cutting, folding or combining pieces for different rug dimensions.
3. Lay the pad flat, then position the rug so no edges curl or bunch to create a trip hazard.
4. Wash the pad separately on a mild machine cycle at no more than 30°C. Do not confuse its care instructions with those of the rug itself.
5. Do not bleach, iron or dry-clean. Line-dry according to the product label, and never reinstall while damp.
6. Once fully dry, lay it flat again and inspect for movement, curled edges or floor marks. Consider replacing a damaged underlay.
