FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of the DS Living Ultra Plush Lena Rug?
The rug measures 160cm in width by 230cm in length, providing ample coverage for various room sizes.
Is this rug suitable for homes with pets?
While the rug is durable, its high pile may trap pet hair more readily than lower pile rugs. Regular and diligent vacuuming will be necessary to keep it clean if you have pets.
Can I use a robot vacuum cleaner on this rug?
Some robot vacuums may struggle with high-pile rugs due to their height and density. If using one, ensure it has strong suction and ideally, disable or adjust the beater brush to a high-pile setting to prevent damage.
How often should I vacuum this rug?
For areas with high foot traffic, vacuum 1-2 times per week. For moderately used spaces, once a week or every two weeks should be sufficient to maintain its appearance and cleanliness.
Can this rug be machine washed?
No, due to its size, construction, and deep pile, this rug is not suitable for machine washing. Spot cleaning and periodic professional cleaning are the recommended methods for maintaining its quality.
Will the color of the rug fade over time?
To minimize potential color fading, especially with the vibrant red, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Rotating the rug periodically can also help ensure even exposure and wear.
Troubleshooting
Rug won't lie completely flat after unrolling
Place heavy objects like books or furniture on the curled corners or edges for 24-48 hours. Alternatively, try reverse rolling the rug tightly for a few hours before laying it flat again.
Visible shedding of fibers
Initial shedding is common with new high-pile rugs. This will reduce significantly over time with regular, gentle vacuuming (without a beater bar). Avoid aggressive vacuuming, which can exacerbate shedding.
Indentations or crush marks from furniture
Regularly rotate your furniture slightly to redistribute weight. For existing indentations, gently fluff the pile with your fingers or a soft brush. Applying a slightly damp cloth to the area and then brushing while it dries can also help lift the fibers.
Stains or spills on the rug
Act quickly. Blot the spill immediately with a clean, dry white cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Do not rub. For tougher stains, use a mild, pH-neutral rug cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first before applying to the main stain.
Rug slips on hard floors
Ensure you are using a suitable non-slip rug pad underneath the rug. This will not only prevent slipping but also add an extra layer of comfort and protect your floor.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DS Living Ultra Plush Lena Rug provides lasting comfort and beauty, follow these guidelines for setup, compatibility, and maintenance.
Setup
- Unpack and Unroll: Carefully remove the rug from its packaging and unroll it in your desired location.
- Allow to Flatten: It may take 24-48 hours for the rug to completely flatten. If edges curl, place heavy books or furniture on them temporarily.
- Consider a Rug Pad: For added safety and floor protection, consider using a non-slip rug pad underneath. This also adds an extra layer of cushioning.
> Info needed: Specific rug pad recommendations or types.
Compatibility
- Flooring: This rug is suitable for most indoor hard flooring surfaces, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and concrete.
- Indoor Use Only: Designed exclusively for interior use, not recommended for outdoor environments.
- Underfloor Heating: Generally compatible with underfloor heating systems, but ensure the rug does not cover heat vents directly to maintain air circulation.
Care & Maintenance
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly, preferably 1-2 times per week in high-traffic areas. Use a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or with the beater bar set to a high pile mode to avoid damaging the plush fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and push it deeper into the fibers. For stubborn spots, use a mild rug cleaner, testing it on an inconspicuous area first.
- Professional Cleaning: For a thorough clean, especially for deep-seated dirt or stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically.
- Rotate Periodically: To ensure even wear and exposure to light, rotate your rug every 3-6 months.
- Address Shedding: Some shedding is normal, especially with new high-pile rugs. This will decrease over time with regular vacuuming. Avoid over-vacuuming in the first few weeks.
