FAQs
What is the pile height of this rug?
The Chester Shaggy Area Rug features a luxurious 30mm deep plush pile, providing exceptional softness and comfort.
Is this rug suitable for homes with pets?
Yes, its durable blend can withstand pet activity. However, the deep pile may trap pet hair, so regular and thorough vacuuming is recommended to keep it clean.
Can this rug be used outdoors?
No, this rug is specifically designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage its materials and backing.
How do I remove a spill from the rug?
Blot the spill immediately with a clean, dry white cloth, working from the outside of the spill inwards. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For stubborn spots, a mild rug cleaner applied to a cloth (not directly to the rug) can be blotted onto the area.
Does the rug require a separate rug pad?
The rug has a jute backing designed to add structure and help keep it in place. However, on very smooth or slippery floors, or for added cushioning and floor protection, an additional non-slip rug pad is recommended.
What are the primary materials of the rug?
The Chester Shaggy Rug is crafted from a durable blend of 75% polypropylene and 25% polyester, with a natural jute backing.
How often should I vacuum this rug?
For best results and to maintain its plush appearance, vacuum your Chester Shaggy Rug 1-2 times per week, especially in high-traffic areas. Use a vacuum cleaner suitable for deep pile rugs.
Troubleshooting
Rug won't lie flat after unrolling
Reverse roll the rug with the pile facing outwards and leave it for a few hours. Alternatively, place heavy, flat objects (like books) on the curled edges overnight. Over time, the rug will naturally flatten.
Pile appears matted or flattened in high-traffic areas
Regularly vacuum the rug with a suction-only vacuum or one with a high pile setting. Gently rake or fluff the pile with your fingers or a soft brush to help restore its texture.
Rug seems to be shedding fibers
Initial shedding is common with new shaggy rugs. Regular, gentle vacuuming will help remove loose fibers. This should decrease significantly over the first few weeks of use.
Rug is slipping on hard floors
While the jute backing provides some grip, for extremely smooth surfaces or very active areas, consider placing a non-slip rug pad underneath the rug. This will enhance stability and prevent movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup Instructions
- Unroll: Carefully unroll your new Chester Shaggy Rug in its desired location.
- Flatten: If the rug has creases or curls from packaging, reverse roll it gently or place heavy, flat objects on the affected areas overnight to help it lie flat.
- Position: Adjust the rug to ensure it is centered and aligned as desired in your room.
Compatibility
This rug is designed for indoor use only. It is highly compatible with:
- Modern & Contemporary Decor: Its checkered pattern and clean lines perfectly suit these aesthetic styles.
- Living Rooms: Ideal for creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
- Bedrooms: Adds warmth and comfort underfoot.
- Relaxation Areas: Enhances comfort and ambiance.
- Various Floor Types: The jute backing helps it stay in place on most hard floors, though an additional rug pad can be used for extra grip on very slick surfaces.
Care & Maintenance
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or with the beater bar set to the highest pile setting. This helps prevent matting and removes loose dirt and dust. For shaggy rugs, vacuuming in different directions can help lift the pile.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For tougher spots, use a mild rug cleaner solution, applying it to a cloth first, then blotting the stain.
- Professional Cleaning: For a thorough clean, consider professional rug cleaning every 1-2 years, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Rotate: To ensure even wear and exposure to light, rotate your rug every few months.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: This rug is not suitable for damp environments. If it gets wet, ensure it dries completely to prevent mildew.
