FAQs
What is the material of this rug?
This Desire Rugs Obsidian Area Rug is made from 100% polypropylene with a durable jute backing. This combination ensures high durability, stain resistance, and stability.
Can this rug be used outdoors?
No, this rug is specifically designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain and direct prolonged sunlight can damage the materials and affect its longevity.
How do I clean a spill on the rug?
For spills, act quickly by blotting the affected area with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can push the stain deeper. For more stubborn stains, use a mild rug cleaner applied to a cloth, then gently dab the stain.
Does this rug shed?
No, this rug is specifically designed to be non-shedding, thanks to its 100% polypropylene construction. You can expect minimal to no fiber loss even with regular use.
What is the pile height of this rug?
The rug features an 8mm (0.8 cm) cut pile, providing a plush and comfortable texture underfoot.
Is the rug colorfast?
Yes, the Desire Rugs Obsidian Area Rug is colourfast, meaning its grey floral pattern is resistant to fading over time, even with regular cleaning and exposure to indirect sunlight.
What are the dimensions of this rug?
This specific variant of the Desire Rugs Obsidian Area Rug measures 120cm in width and 170cm in length (120cm x 170cm).
Is the rug safe for children and pets?
Yes, the rug is ecological, odorless, and manufactured without harsh chemicals, making it a safe choice for homes with children and pets. The jute backing also helps prevent slips.
Troubleshooting
Rug has creases or wrinkles after unboxing
Lay the rug flat in the desired area. For quicker flattening, reverse roll the rug or place heavy books/furniture on the affected areas for 24-48 hours. The rug's resilient pile will naturally settle.
Rug is slipping on a hard floor
Ensure the jute backing is clean and dry. While the jute backing offers some grip, for maximum stability and safety, especially on very smooth surfaces, consider placing a non-slip rug pad underneath the rug.
Fibers appear matted or flattened in high-traffic areas
Regular vacuuming without a beater bar can help lift the pile. For deeper restoration, gently brush the affected area with a soft-bristle brush, going against the grain, to help fluff the polypropylene fibers back into shape.
Unpleasant odor from the rug
The rug is designed to be odorless. Any initial scent is likely from packaging and should dissipate within a few hours to a day. Ensure the rug is in a well-ventilated area. If an odor persists, ensure the rug is completely dry after any cleaning.

Cons

Setup
- Unpack: Carefully unroll the rug from its packaging. You may notice some temporary creases from shipping.
- Flatten: Lay the rug flat in your desired location. For stubborn creases, you can reverse roll the rug or place heavy objects on the corners for a day or two. The rug's resilient nature will help it settle quickly.
- Position: Ensure the jute backing is in direct contact with the floor for optimal grip and stability.
Compatibility
This rug is designed for indoor use only and is ideal for hard floor surfaces (wood, tile, laminate) or over existing carpets. Its `120cm x 170cm` dimensions and `8mm` pile height make it suitable for:
- Living Rooms: As a central anchor for furniture arrangements.
- Bedrooms: To add warmth and comfort beside or under a bed.
- Hallways: To protect flooring and add aesthetic appeal in high-traffic corridors.
- Dining Areas: To define the space and provide comfort under a dining set (ensure chairs don't snag the pile).
Care
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug on a low-power setting without a beater bar to remove loose dirt and dust. This helps maintain the pile's appearance and prevents dirt from settling deep into the fibers.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild rug cleaner solution, applying it to a cloth first and then dabbing the stain. Avoid soaking the rug.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, professional rug cleaning is recommended to extend the life and freshness of your rug.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use bleach or strong detergents as they can damage the polypropylene fibers and affect colorfastness.
- Rotate: Rotate your rug every few months to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas or areas exposed to direct sunlight.
- Storage: If storing, roll the rug tightly with the pile facing outwards and secure it. Store in a dry, cool place.
