FAQs
How do I remove creases from my new rug?
To remove creases from your new rug, you can gently reverse roll it in the opposite direction. Alternatively, place heavy, flat objects on the creased areas for 24-48 hours. The creases should settle within a few days with normal use.
Can this rug be used in high-traffic areas?
Yes, this rug is crafted from durable polypropylene, making it well-suited for high-traffic areas like living rooms and dining areas. It's designed to withstand daily wear and maintain its appearance.
How do I clean spills on the rug?
For spills, immediately blot the affected area with a clean, dry white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For persistent stains, use a mild rug cleaner solution, testing it first on an inconspicuous area.
Is a rug pad necessary for this rug?
While not strictly required, a non-slip rug pad is highly recommended, especially on hard floors. It prevents the rug from slipping, adds extra cushioning, and can help extend the rug's lifespan.
What are the exact dimensions of this rug?
This Think Rugs Vintage Traditional Fringed Rug measures 200cm in height (length) by 300cm in width.
Can I use a regular vacuum cleaner on this rug?
Yes, you can use a regular vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment on a high pile setting. When vacuuming near the fringed edges, use the upholstery attachment or a gentler suction to prevent damage.
Will the colour of the rug fade over time?
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the vibrant red colour to fade. To help prevent this, rotate your rug every few months and consider using curtains or blinds during peak sun hours.
Troubleshooting
Rug not lying flat or has creases
Upon unrolling, if the rug has creases, try reverse rolling it in the opposite direction for a few minutes. Alternatively, place heavy, flat objects (like books) on the affected areas for 24-48 hours. Most creases will settle within a few days of normal use.
Fringes are getting caught or damaged by vacuum cleaner
When vacuuming near the fringes, switch to your vacuum cleaner's upholstery attachment or use a gentler suction setting. Avoid using a rotating brush directly on the fringes to prevent fraying or getting caught.
Spills or stains on the rug
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of mild rug cleaner solution to a clean cloth and gently blot the stain, working from the outside in. Always test the cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Rug is slipping on hard floors
For optimal safety and stability on hard surfaces, it is highly recommended to use a non-slip rug pad underneath your rug. This will also add an extra layer of cushioning and insulation.
Colour appears to be fading over time
To minimize fading, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and exposure, which can help distribute any potential fading more uniformly across the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Upon receiving your Think Rugs Vintage Traditional Fringed Rug, carefully unroll it in its intended location. New rugs often develop temporary creases or curls from packaging. To flatten these, you can:
- Reverse Roll: Gently roll the rug in the opposite direction for a few minutes.
- Apply Weight: Place heavy, flat objects (like books or furniture) on the corners or creased areas for 24-48 hours.
For optimal stability and to prevent slipping, especially on hard flooring surfaces, consider using a high-quality non-slip rug pad. This also adds an extra layer of cushioning and can extend the life of your rug.
Compatibility
This rug's traditional Koum design and geometric pattern make it highly compatible with a variety of decor styles, from classic and traditional to eclectic and transitional. The vibrant red colour can serve as a striking accent or complement warm colour palettes. Its durable polypropylene construction makes it suitable for most indoor spaces, including:
- Living Rooms
- Dining Areas
- Bedrooms
- Home Offices
- Hallways (if space permits)
Ensure the dimensions of 200cm x 300cm fit your desired area, leaving appropriate borders if placed under furniture.
General Care & Maintenance
Consistent care will help maintain your rug's beauty and extend its lifespan:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment set to a high pile. For the fringed edges, use the upholstery attachment or a gentler suction setting to prevent them from getting caught or damaged.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, act immediately. Blot the affected area with a clean, dry white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For tougher spots, use a mild rug cleaner solution, testing it on an inconspicuous area first to ensure colourfastness. Always blot dry thoroughly.
- Deep Cleaning: Depending on traffic and use, professional rug cleaning every 1-2 years is recommended for a thorough refresh.
- Rotation: Rotate your rug every 3-6 months. This helps ensure even wear and tear, especially in high-traffic pathways, and prevents uneven fading if exposed to sunlight.
- Avoid Direct Sunlight: While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the vibrant red colour to fade over time. Position your rug to minimize direct sun exposure, or use curtains/blinds during peak sun hours.
