FAQs
What type of flooring is this rug best suited for?
This wool rug is versatile and works well on hardwood, tile, laminate, and low-pile carpet. A rug pad is recommended on hard surfaces for added safety and comfort.
How often should I clean the rug?
Regular vacuuming (1-2 times a week) is recommended. Professional cleaning is advised every 1-2 years, or as needed, depending on foot traffic and use.
Can this rug be used in a high-traffic area?
Yes, the dense 3214 GSM weight and durable wool construction make it suitable for moderate to high-traffic areas like living rooms. For very heavy traffic, consider placing it in a less demanding spot or use a protective rug pad.
What does GSM mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter'. It's a measure of the rug's density and weight. A higher GSM, like 3214, indicates a denser, heavier, and typically higher-quality rug.
Are there other sizes and colors available?
The Carter Collection offers this rug in multiple sizes, including 120 x 170 cm, 160 x 230 cm, and 60 x 230 cm runners. This particular product is in the red color family and features a striped pattern.
How do I handle a spill on the rug?
Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and water solution, testing in an inconspicuous area first. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Rug has creases from shipping.
Unroll the rug and let it lie flat for 24-48 hours. Placing heavy books on the corners can help flatten stubborn creases.
Color appears different than expected.
Note that screen color reproduction can vary. Allow the rug to be in your room's lighting for a period, as natural and artificial light can affect its appearance. Consider viewing product images on multiple devices.
Shedding of wool fibers.
Initial shedding is normal for wool rugs. Regular vacuuming (without a beater bar) will help manage this over time. The shedding should decrease as the rug settles.
Rug feels stiff or rough.
Wool rugs can feel firm initially. With regular use and vacuuming, the fibers will soften. Using a rug pad can also enhance the comfort underfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the rug carefully upon arrival.
- Allow the rug to lay flat for 24-48 hours to help it settle and remove any creases from packaging.
- Position the rug in your desired location.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most indoor settings, including living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways.
- Can be used with underfloor heating, but always check manufacturer guidelines for both rug and heating system.
- While durable, consider a rug pad for added cushioning and to prevent slippage, especially on hard floors.
Care Instructions:
- General Cleaning: Vacuum regularly without a beater bar to prevent damage to the pile. For deeper cleaning, use a vacuum with suction-only capability.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.
- Professional Cleaning: It is recommended to have the rug professionally cleaned periodically to maintain its appearance and longevity.
