About Igusa Products
Q：The igusa materials of my purchased item have the area which are cut, sticking out, and discolored brown.
A：Igusa is a delicate natural material, so it tends to break more easily than synthetic fibers.
Therefore, when weaving the plants, it may break due to mechanical friction or drying process, and you may find several parts like the one above.
They are the characteristics of the material and we appreciate for your understanding.
Q：The color of my item looks slightly different from what I expected.
A：Because igusa is a natural material, the tip and root parts of the plant may have different colors.
In addition, the color of the same rush may vary slightly during the dyeing process, and the color may appear slightly different or uneven depending on the area.
Also, when purchasing additional items, the color may differ from the previous item.
Due to the discoloration caused by ultraviolet rays, the color may differ between the new item and already used item.
We would aapreciate for your understanding about the features of the natural material.
Q：Care Instructions
A：[In case of spills, such as water]
If it’s not a dark-colored substance, immediately absorb the moisture and let it dry thoroughly. For colored substances (such as soy sauce), sprinkle wheat flour or baby powder to absorb the moisture, then vacuum it up.
[In case of crayon or marker stains]
Apply cream cleanser to a dry cloth and wipe carefully. For oil-based marker stains, wipe them off with rubbing alcohol.
[For severe stains]
Dampen a cloth with lukewarm water mixed with neutral detergent, wring it out tightly, and wipe. Alternatively, you can use a clean cloth soaked in benzine, lightly tapping while removing the stain.
Q：What should I do if mold grows on the item?
A： A mold may form on the product depending on the environment or condition of the item.
If mold forms, dry it in the shade, sweep off the mold with a brush and vacuum it.
Please be careful not to inhale the mold when cleaning it.
If mold is extensive, remove it with bleach and rubbing alcohol.
Damp a towel with warm water and a little bleach and wipe the mold with it. Then soak a clean cloth with alcohol, wipe the item with the cloth, and air-dry it thoroughly.
Q： How do I store my item?
A：Tap lightly to remove dust, dry in the shade, and store in a dark place with low humidity.
Q：Can it be used with floor heating and heated area rugs?
A：There is no problem with the product itself, but problems such as discoloration may occur on the flooring side. Please contact the flooring manufacturer in advance.
In addition, laying igusa products may interfere with the original functions of floor heating.
When using on floor heating, depending on the flooring material, condensation may form between the floor and the product when the heat cools down and may cause mold.
We recommend not using it for a long time and lifting it up as needed to ventilate it when unused.
