Full details
The THE RUGS Joli Chequered Rug in Black (120 cm x 170 cm) is designed for homeowners seeking to add contemporary style and plush comfort to their living spaces. Its key benefit is the combination of a modern, artistic design with durable, pet-friendly materials. A potential consideration is its 20 mm pile height, which requires regular vacuuming to maintain its appearance and prevent matting in high-traffic areas.

FAQs
Is this rug truly non-shedding?
The rug is made from polypropylene yarn, which is inherently low-shedding. While some minor initial shedding may occur, it is designed to be significantly less prone to shedding than natural fiber rugs.
Can I use this rug in a room with pets?
Yes, the Joli Chequered Rug is pet-friendly. Its durable polypropylene material is resistant to wear and tear from pets, and its non-shedding quality means less fiber for pets to track around the house.
What is the pile height, and what does it mean for comfort?
The rug has a pile height of 20 mm. This indicates a medium-thick pile, offering a good balance of plushness for comfort underfoot and practicality for maintenance.
How does the 'chequered' pattern look?
The pattern consists of irregular square blocks in a black color scheme, creating a modern and artistic visual effect rather than a uniform grid.
Is it safe to use with underfloor heating?
Yes, the rug is designed to be compatible with underfloor heating systems. Ensure your heating system is installed correctly and follow any specific recommendations from its manufacturer.
What are the exact dimensions of this specific rug?
This particular rug measures 120 cm in width and 170 cm in length.
How should I clean this rug if it gets dirty?
Regular vacuuming is recommended. For spills, blot immediately with a dry cloth. For stains, use a mild detergent and water solution, blot gently, and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Rug is not lying flat
Ensure the rug is on a flat surface. Roll it up tightly in the opposite direction of the crease, leave it for a few hours, then unroll it again. Placing heavy furniture on the corners can also help it settle.
Shedding noticed
While designed to be non-shedding, initial shedding can occur. Vacuum regularly as per care instructions. Shedding should significantly decrease after the first few weeks of use.
Appearance is flattened or matted
This can happen in high-traffic areas. Vacuum more frequently and consider using a rug protector or repositioning furniture to distribute weight. Use a vacuum without a beater bar or set it to the highest setting.
Stain is difficult to remove
Use a specialized rug cleaner suitable for polypropylene carpets, following the product's instructions carefully. Always test any cleaning solution on a small, hidden area of the rug first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unroll the rug upon arrival and allow it to lay flat for a few hours to help it settle. Minor creases from packaging should naturally disappear.
Compatibility: This rug is compatible with underfloor heating systems. Ensure any underfloor heating is installed and functioning according to manufacturer guidelines before placing the rug.
Care:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a standard vacuum cleaner. For deeper cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or set the beater bar to its highest setting to avoid damaging the pile.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Blot gently and allow to air dry completely.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or abrasive cleaning products.
- Rotation: Periodically rotate the rug to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic zones.
