FAQs
How do I clean my Decadence Rug?
Regularly vacuum with a brush-less attachment. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, consult a professional rug cleaner.
Is the shimmery thread very prominent?
The shimmery threads are designed to be subtle, adding a sophisticated glimmer rather than an overpowering sparkle. They are integrated into the pile to catch light gently.
Will the rug shed?
Yes, it is common for new, thick-pile rugs like the Decadence Rug to shed fibers, especially during the first few weeks to months. This is normal and will reduce with regular vacuuming.
What are the exact dimensions of this rug?
The dimensions of this specific Decadence Rug are 160cm x 230cm (approximately 5 feet 3 inches x 7 feet 6 inches).
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas?
While the thick pile offers durability and comfort, for very high-traffic areas, more frequent maintenance (like vacuuming and professional cleaning) will be required to maintain its plush appearance over time.
Can I use this rug with underfloor heating?
Generally, most rugs are suitable for use with underfloor heating, but it's always best to ensure the rug is not covering ventilation or blocking heat distribution excessively. Avoid direct, prolonged, intense heat.
Troubleshooting
Rug edges are curling and won't lie flat.
Reverse roll the curled edges for a few hours or place heavy objects (e.g., books, furniture) on the affected areas overnight to help them settle.
The rug is shedding excessively.
Initial shedding is common for new, thick-pile rugs. This will decrease over time with regular vacuuming. Continue vacuuming with a gentle setting without a beater bar.
A noticeable crease or wrinkle in the rug.
Allow the rug to relax for a few days. For persistent creases, you can lightly mist the back of the rug with water and gently pull or weigh down the affected area, or carefully use a low-heat iron over a damp cloth on the back of the rug.
The rug feels slippery on my hard floor.
Use a non-slip rug pad underneath. This will not only prevent slipping but also provide additional cushioning and protect your floor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup 1. Unpack Carefully: Remove the rug from its packaging, being mindful not to use sharp objects that could damage the fibers. 2. Unroll and Flatten: Lay the rug flat in its desired location. Expect some curling at the edges initially. 3. Address Curling: To help the rug lay flat faster, reverse roll the edges or place heavy objects (like books or furniture legs) on the curled sections overnight. ### Compatibility - Flooring: Suitable for all types of hard flooring (wood, laminate, tile) and can be placed over low-pile carpet for added cushioning. - Decor Styles: Its beige color and subtle shimmer complement modern, contemporary, minimalist, transitional, and even some classic interior designs. - Room Placement: Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and home offices. Avoid excessively wet areas. ### Care 1. Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly, at least once a week, using a brush-less attachment to prevent damage to the thick pile and shimmery threads. For thick rugs, a high-pile setting on your vacuum is recommended. 2. Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Do not rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For stubborn spots, use a mild rug cleaner specifically designed for synthetic fibers, testing in an inconspicuous area first. 3. Professional Cleaning: Consider professional rug cleaning every 12-18 months, especially for high-traffic areas, to maintain its appearance and prolong its life. 4. Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading over time. Rotate the rug periodically or use blinds/curtains to protect it. 5. Addressing Shedding: It's normal for new thick-pile rugs to shed fibers for the first few weeks or months. Regular vacuuming will help reduce this. 6. Rug Pad (Recommended): Use a non-slip rug pad underneath to prevent slipping, provide additional cushioning, and extend the rug's life by reducing wear and tear.
