FAQs
Is this rug suitable for homes with pets or children?
Yes, the Obsidian Modern Low Pile Area Rug is an excellent choice for homes with pets and children. Its 100% polypropylene construction is known for its durability, stain resistance, and ease of cleaning, making it resilient against common household mishaps.
What is the best way to clean a spill on this rug?
For spills, act quickly by blotting the affected area with a clean, dry white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For tougher stains, you can use a mild carpet cleaner designed for synthetic fibers, always testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
Can this rug be used outdoors?
No, the Obsidian Modern Low Pile Area Rug is designed specifically for indoor use. While durable, it is not constructed to withstand outdoor weather conditions and prolonged exposure to moisture or sunlight.
Do I need a rug pad for this rug?
While the rug features a durable jute backing that helps it stay in place, we highly recommend using a non-slip rug pad. A rug pad provides additional stability, extends the life of your rug, and offers extra cushioning and sound absorption.
What material is the rug made from?
This rug is expertly crafted from 100% polypropylene fibers, which provide a soft, luxurious feel while offering exceptional resistance to wear, shedding, and stains. It features a durable jute backing.
How durable is this rug for high-traffic areas?
The Obsidian Modern Low Pile Area Rug is specifically designed for high-traffic areas. Its robust 100% polypropylene construction and 8mm cut pile make it highly resistant to wear, making it a reliable choice for busy living rooms, hallways, and entryways.
Troubleshooting
Rug corners curling or not lying flat after unrolling.
Reverse roll the rug tightly, pile-side out, and let it sit for a few hours. Alternatively, place heavy books or furniture on the stubborn corners for 1-2 days to help them flatten.
Initial shedding of fibers.
Some shedding is normal for new rugs, especially those made from polypropylene. Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar) for the first few weeks will help remove loose fibers and reduce shedding over time.
Rug slipping on hard floors despite jute backing.
While jute backing provides some grip, for optimal stability and safety on very slick surfaces, consider purchasing and placing a high-quality non-slip rug pad underneath the rug.
Stain or spill on the rug.
Blot the spill immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Do not rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the fibers. For stubborn stains, use a mild carpet cleaner specifically designed for synthetic fibers, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
Fading or discoloration over time.
While polypropylene is fade-resistant, prolonged direct exposure to intense sunlight can still cause some fading. Rotate your rug periodically to ensure even exposure and consider using blinds or curtains to limit direct sunlight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your Obsidian Modern Low Pile Area Rug in your desired location.
- Flattening: It may take 24-48 hours for the rug to fully flatten. To expedite this, you can roll it in the opposite direction, or place heavy, flat objects on the corners and edges for a few hours.
- Consider a Rug Pad: While the jute backing helps with stability, a non-slip rug pad (sold separately) is highly recommended for added grip on hard floors, extra cushioning, and extended rug life.
Compatibility
- Floor Types: This rug is compatible with most indoor floor types, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and even low-pile carpeting.
- Room Placement: Ideal for high-traffic areas such as living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, and bedrooms. Its durable construction is built to last.
- Decor Styles: The Craft Abstract Grey design offers a modern and versatile aesthetic that complements contemporary, minimalist, industrial, and Scandinavian interior designs.
Care
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum frequently using a low-power setting or a vacuum without a beater bar to remove dirt and debris. This helps prevent particles from embedding in the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For tougher spots, use a mild rug cleaner following the product's instructions.
- Deep Cleaning: For a thorough clean, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically, especially for heavily soiled areas.
- Rotate Regularly: Rotate the rug every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and exposure to sunlight, prolonging its life and maintaining its appearance.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or harsh detergents, as these can damage the polypropylene fibers and backing.
