FAQs
Is this rug suitable for a high-traffic area?
Yes, the rug is designed for everyday living and is shed-resistant, making it suitable for most indoor areas. However, for extremely heavy foot traffic, rotating the rug and vacuuming regularly will help maintain its appearance.
Can I use this rug on a carpeted floor?
The rug has a non-slip PVC dot backing designed for smooth floors. While it can be placed on low-pile carpets, its anti-slip properties may be less effective. For better stability on carpet, consider using a separate rug gripper pad.
How often should I wash the rug?
Regular vacuuming is recommended for daily maintenance. Machine wash only when necessary for a deeper clean, typically a few times a year depending on usage and spills. Avoid overwashing, as it can wear down the fibers.
What kind of vacuum cleaner is best for this rug?
A standard vacuum cleaner without a rotating beater bar is recommended. If your vacuum has a beater bar, ensure it can be turned off or set to a high pile setting to avoid damaging the faux fur fibers.
Will the rug shed a lot?
The rug is constructed to be shed-resistant, which means it's designed to minimize loose fibers. Some minimal shedding might occur initially, but this should reduce with regular vacuuming.
What are the exact dimensions of this specific rug?
This specific product listing is for the Emma Barclay Faux Rabbit Fur Rug in Brown, measuring 160cm in width and 230cm in height.
Can I use this rug in a bathroom?
While the rug is soft and has a non-slip backing, it is not specifically designed for high-moisture bathroom environments. Ensure the rug and floor are completely dry to prevent any potential damage or mildew.
Troubleshooting
Rug not lying flat
Ensure the rug is fully unrolled and has had sufficient time to flatten. Placing heavy objects on corners for a while can help. Ensure the floor underneath is level.
Rug slipping despite non-slip backing
Check that the floor surface is clean, dry, and smooth. The effectiveness of the backing can be reduced on very plush carpets or if the backing itself is dirty or wet. Consider a rug gripper pad for extra security.
Matting or flattening of the pile
Avoid placing very heavy furniture directly on the rug. If unavoidable, use furniture coasters. Rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly. Vacuum without the beater bar engaged.
Persistent odors after washing
Ensure the rug is completely dry before use. If the odor persists, try washing it again with a small amount of white vinegar added to the rinse cycle. Ensure adequate ventilation during air drying.
Visible wear or damage to fibers
Cease using the beater bar on vacuum cleaners. If damage is severe, consider professional cleaning or replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unroll the rug completely and allow it to lay flat for several hours or overnight to help remove creases from packaging. Ensure the floor surface beneath is clean and dry before placing the rug.
Compatibility: This rug is best suited for indoor use on hard flooring surfaces such as laminate, wood, tile, or vinyl. The non-slip PVC dot backing provides optimal grip on these surfaces. It can also be used on low-pile carpets, though its anti-slip properties may be reduced.
Care:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum the rug regularly using a standard vacuum cleaner to remove surface dirt and debris. Avoid using a beater bar on high pile settings, as this can damage the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and water solution, testing in an inconspicuous area first.
- Machine Washing: For a deeper clean, the rug can be machine washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent. Do not bleach.
- Drying: After washing, do not tumble dry. Hang the rug to air dry completely or lay it flat. Ensure it is thoroughly dry before placing it back on the floor to prevent mildew.
- Shedding: While designed to be shed-resistant, some initial shedding may occur. Regular vacuuming will help manage this.
