Troubleshooting
Rug has creases or is not lying flat after unrolling.
Reverse roll the rug tightly in the opposite direction, then allow it to rest for 24-48 hours. Alternatively, place heavy books or furniture on the affected areas to help it flatten over time. Warmth from a room can also help it relax.
Rug pile appears matted or flattened in high-traffic areas.
Regularly vacuum the rug to lift and refresh the pile. For matted sections, gently comb through the fibers with your fingers or a soft brush. Avoid using harsh bristles.
Stain on the rug is difficult to remove.
Immediately blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth. If a residue remains, use a small amount of mild soap and water or a specialized rug cleaner, blotting gently. For stubborn stains, professional cleaning is recommended.
Rug is slipping on hard floor surfaces.
Place a non-slip rug pad underneath the rug. This will not only prevent slipping but also add an extra layer of cushioning and protect your floor.
Rug is shedding excessively.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care will ensure your Desire Rugs Oxford 912 maintains its soft texture and appearance for years.
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum the rug regularly, preferably with a suction-only vacuum or a high pile setting, to prevent dirt and dust from settling deep into the fibers. Avoid using a beater bar, which can damage the shaggy pile.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, act immediately. Blot the affected area with a clean, white cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Use a mild rug cleaner diluted with water if necessary, then blot dry. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Deep Cleaning: For thorough cleaning or stubborn stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended every 1-2 years.
- Rotate Periodically: Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and exposure to light, preventing localized fading.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Polypropylene is water-resistant, but avoid oversaturating the rug during cleaning. Ensure it is thoroughly dried to prevent mildew.
