FAQs
Is the Chester Shaggy Rug suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Chester Shaggy Rug is specifically designed and manufactured for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain or direct prolonged sunlight can damage its materials and appearance.
How do I clean my Chester Shaggy Rug?
Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar) is recommended. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For spot cleaning, use a mild rug cleaner as directed by the product instructions, working from the outside of the stain inwards.
Does this rug shed?
No, the Chester Shaggy Rug is made with a non-shedding blend of polypropylene and polyester, designed to maintain its pile integrity and keep your home cleaner.
What is the pile height of the rug?
The rug features a generous 30mm (3 cm) deep plush pile, providing an incredibly soft and luxurious feel underfoot.
What materials is the rug made from?
The rug is crafted from a durable and comfortable blend of 75% polypropylene and 25% polyester, with a jute backing for added structure.
Will the colour fade over time?
The rug is designed to be colour-fast, meaning its grey colour is resistant to fading with normal indoor use and proper care.
Can I use a robot vacuum on this rug?
While robot vacuums can be used, ensure they are set to a gentle mode and do not have a strong beater bar that could snag or damage the shaggy pile. Manual vacuuming or spot cleaning is often more effective for deeper cleaning of shaggy rugs.
Troubleshooting
Rug slips or moves on the floor.
Ensure the rug is placed on a clean, dry surface. For increased stability, especially on smooth floors like tile or hardwood, consider using a high-quality non-slip rug pad underneath. This will also protect your flooring.
The rug pile appears flattened or matted in high-traffic areas.
The Chester Shaggy Rug is resilient and designed to spring back. Regularly vacuum the rug without using a beater bar. For stubborn flattened areas, gently fluff the pile with your fingers or a soft-bristled brush. Rotating the rug periodically can also help distribute wear.
Unpleasant odour after unboxing.
This rug is ecological and odourless. However, if a slight 'new product' smell is detected, allow the rug to air out in a well-ventilated room for 24-48 hours. This typically resolves any minor initial scent.
Pros and Cons

- Easy to clean and maintain, simplifying household chores.
- Stylish checkered pattern enhances modern and contemporary interiors.
- Ecological and odourless, providing a pleasant environment.

Cons
- Designed exclusively for indoor use, not suitable for outdoor placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll and Place: Carefully unroll your Chester Shaggy Rug in your desired indoor location. Allow it some time to settle; any temporary creases from packaging should relax naturally. For best results, place it on a clean, dry, and level surface.
- Positioning: The jute backing helps to keep the rug in place. However, for areas with particularly smooth flooring or very high traffic, a non-slip rug pad underneath can provide additional stability and extend the rug's life. Ensure the rug lies flat to prevent tripping hazards.
Compatibility
This rug is designed to seamlessly integrate into modern and contemporary homes. Its grey colour and checkered pattern offer a versatile aesthetic that can complement a wide range of existing decor palettes. It's ideal for indoor use only and perfect for adding warmth and style to bedrooms, living rooms, and other relaxation areas.
Care
- Regular Vacuuming: To maintain the plushness and cleanliness of the 30mm deep pile, vacuum regularly with a suction-only vacuum cleaner. Avoid using a beater bar or rotating brush on shaggy rugs, as this can damage the fibres.
- Spot Cleaning Spills: The rug is not easily penetrated by water, offering some resistance to spills. For liquid spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild rug cleaner and a soft cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards.
- Resilience: The rug is designed to be resilient and spring back into shape. If areas appear flattened, gently fluff the pile with your fingers or a soft brush.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents or bleaching agents, as these can damage the material and affect the colour-fast properties.
- Indoor Use Only: Protect the rug from direct sunlight and moisture, as prolonged exposure can affect its material and colour.
