FAQs
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas?
While durable, the 4.5cm deep pile is best suited for low to medium-traffic areas like living rooms and bedrooms to maintain its luxurious feel and appearance over time.
Does the rug shed?
No, the Desire Rugs Oxford Shaggy Rug is specifically designed to be non-shedding, ensuring less mess and easier maintenance in your home.
How do I clean a spill on the rug?
For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper. For persistent stains, a mild rug cleaner can be used, always testing on an inconspicuous area first.
What material is the rug made from?
The rug is crafted from 100% polypropylene, which contributes to its softness, durability, and stain-resistant properties.
Will the color fade over time?
No, this rug is treated with colourfast technology, which helps maintain its vibrant red color even with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Can I use a vacuum cleaner with a beater bar on this rug?
It is recommended to use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar, or one with an adjustable height setting that can be raised for high pile rugs, to prevent damage to the deep fibers.
Is an anti-slip rug pad necessary?
Info needed: The product description does not specify if it has an anti-slip backing. For added safety and to prevent movement, especially on hard floors, an anti-slip rug pad is generally recommended for any rug without a built-in non-slip feature.
What are the dimensions of this specific rug?
This specific variant is 60cm wide by 220cm long, making it an ideal runner or accent rug.
Troubleshooting
Rug has creases or is not lying flat after unrolling.
This is normal after shipping. Allow 24-48 hours for the rug to settle. You can gently walk on it, or place heavy objects (like books on a protective cloth) on the corners to help it flatten faster.
Rug appears matted or less fluffy over time.
Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar or on a high pile setting) helps restore the pile. You can also gently rake the pile with your fingers or a soft brush to lift the fibers.
A visible stain has occurred.
Act quickly. Blot the stain immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For tougher stains, use a mild rug cleaner according to its instructions, testing on a small, hidden area first.
