FAQs
Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas?
The rug is made from durable wool and has a substantial weight, making it suitable for moderate foot traffic. For very high-traffic areas, consider pairing it with a high-quality rug pad and regular maintenance to prolong its life.
How often should I vacuum this rug?
It is recommended to vacuum the rug 1-2 times per week with a suction-only attachment. Avoid using a beater bar, as it can damage the wool fibers.
Can I use a steam cleaner on this wool rug?
It is generally not recommended to use steam cleaners on wool rugs, as excessive moisture and heat can damage the fibers and cause shrinkage. Professional cleaning is the safest option for deep cleaning.
What does '3.4 kg/sqm' mean for the rug's quality?
This refers to the density of the rug. A weight of 3.4 kg per square meter indicates a thick and substantial rug, contributing to its durability and comfort.
Will this rug fade in direct sunlight?
Like most natural fiber rugs, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. It's advisable to place the rug away from constant direct sun exposure or rotate it regularly.
What is the typical shedding behavior of this wool rug?
Wool rugs, especially when new, tend to shed loose fibers. This is a natural characteristic. Regular vacuuming will help to manage and reduce shedding over time as the rug settles.
Are there other color options available for the Carter Rug collection?
Yes, while this guide focuses on the Teal variant, the Carter Rug collection is available in other color families, such as Red.
Troubleshooting
Rug shedding excessively
Initial shedding is normal for wool rugs. Vacuum regularly with a suction-only attachment. If shedding persists after several weeks, check for excessive friction or abrasion on the rug's surface.
Creases or wrinkles not disappearing
Ensure the rug has had sufficient time to lay flat (48-72 hours). Try gently rolling the rug in the opposite direction of the crease and leaving it for a few hours, or use a rug pad to help smooth it out.
Color appears different from online image
Colors can vary due to monitor settings and lighting conditions. Refer to the product description and consider ordering a sample if available, or view in different lighting to assess the true color.
Rug feels rough or uneven
Wool fibers can vary in texture. Ensure you are using a rug pad to enhance comfort. If the texture is significantly uneven, check for any embedded debris that may have been missed during vacuuming.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unroll the rug carefully and allow it to lay flat for 24-48 hours to help it relax and lose any creases from packaging. For optimal performance and safety, place a non-slip rug pad underneath, especially on hard floors.
Compatibility: Suitable for most indoor environments. Due to the natural wool fibers, it's best used in areas with moderate foot traffic. Avoid placement in areas with direct, prolonged sunlight, as this can cause fading over time. Not recommended for bathrooms or very damp areas due to wool's absorbent nature.
Care:
- Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly using a suction-only attachment (no beater bar) on a low setting. This helps remove surface dirt and reduces shedding.
- Spills: Blot spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For tougher stains, use a wool-specific carpet cleaner and test in an inconspicuous area first. Professional cleaning is recommended for deep stains.
- Rotation: Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear.
- Felt Padding: Consider using felt padding to protect your floors and extend the rug's life.
