FAQs
What are the exact dimensions of this rug?
This specific variant of the OHS Checkerboard Rug measures 120 cm in width and 170 cm in height.
Is the non-slip backing effective on all floor types?
The non-slip backing is most effective on hard, smooth floor surfaces like tile, laminate, and hardwood. It may offer less grip on carpeted areas.
How often should I vacuum the rug?
Regular vacuuming once or twice a week is recommended to keep the rug clean and to minimize shedding. Use a low-pile setting on your vacuum cleaner.
Can this rug be used outdoors?
No, this rug is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage the fibres and backing.
What is the best way to clean a spill?
For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution with a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inward, then blot dry.
Does this rug come in other sizes?
Yes, the OHS Checkerboard Rug is available in other sizes, including 80 cm x 150 cm and 160 cm x 230 cm.
Will the checkerboard pattern wear off?
The checkerboard design is tufted into the rug, meaning the pattern is integral to the construction and is unlikely to wear off with normal use and proper care.
Troubleshooting
Rug won't lay flat.
Ensure the rug has been unrolled and allowed to relax for several hours. Placing heavy objects on the corners can help flatten stubborn creases.
Shedding is noticeable.
Initial shedding is normal for new rugs. Regular vacuuming will reduce this over time. If shedding persists excessively, check for snagged fibres.
Rug is slipping on the floor.
Ensure the floor surface is clean and dry. The non-slip backing works best on a pristine surface. If the issue persists, consider a rug gripper pad for added security.
Pattern appears faded.
Avoid placing the rug in direct, prolonged sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean only with recommended mild detergents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unroll the rug completely and allow it to lay flat for a few hours to allow any creases from packaging to relax. Ensure the floor beneath is clean and dry before placing the rug. The non-slip backing will grip best on a clean surface.
Compatibility: This rug is compatible with most floor types, particularly hard floors like wood, tile, and laminate, due to its non-slip backing. It can be used with underfloor heating, but check manufacturer guidelines for your specific heating system.
Care: To maintain its appearance, vacuum regularly using a low-pile setting. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a mild detergent and a damp cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Professional cleaning is recommended for stubborn stains.
