FAQs
Is this rug suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Desire Rugs Maia Washable Area Rug is designed exclusively for indoor settings to maintain its quality and aesthetic appeal.
Can I use a vacuum cleaner on this rug?
Yes, absolutely. The low-pile construction makes it very easy to vacuum. We recommend using a vacuum cleaner with adjustable suction on a low-power setting.
What are the washing instructions for this rug?
This rug is machine washable at 30°C (cold water) with a mild detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. Line dry or lay flat to air dry completely.
Will this rug shed?
No, the Maia rug features a non-shedding design, ensuring it maintains its sleek look and minimizes fiber loss.
Is the non-slip backing effective on all floor types?
The built-in non-slip backing provides added safety and good grip on most indoor flooring surfaces, including hardwood, tile, and laminate. For extremely slick floors, an additional rug gripper can be used for extra assurance.
Is the floral pattern exactly as shown?
The floral pattern is consistent with the product imagery. Please note that exact color representation can vary slightly depending on screen settings.
What if my washing machine is too small for the rug?
For optimal care, it's important to use a washing machine with sufficient capacity. If your home machine is too small, a commercial-sized washing machine at a laundromat would be a suitable alternative for thorough cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Rug appears creased after unrolling or washing.
For initial creases, allow the rug to settle for a few days; walking on it or placing heavy, flat objects on the affected areas can help. After washing, ensure proper flat drying to prevent wrinkles.
Rug is slipping or moving on the floor.
Verify that the non-slip backing is clean and dry. Ensure the floor surface beneath the rug is also clean and free of dust or moisture for optimal grip. The rug is designed with a non-slip backing, but extreme conditions or very smooth floors might benefit from an additional rug gripper if issues persist.
Stain won't come out after spot cleaning.
For stubborn stains, a full machine wash at 30°C may be necessary. Always check the stain type and consider pre-treating with a mild, rug-safe stain remover before washing. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll the rug in your desired indoor location.

- Ensure the non-slip backing is directly in contact with a clean, dry floor surface for optimal grip.
Compatibility
- Indoor Use Only: Designed for all indoor settings.
- High-Traffic Areas: Ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, entryways, hallways, and dining areas.
- Flooring: Suitable for hard floors (wood, tile, laminate) and carpets, with the non-slip backing providing extra stability on hard surfaces.
- Pet & Kid Friendly: Its durable, stain, and fade-resistant properties make it perfect for homes with children and pets.
Care
- Regular Cleaning: Vacuum regularly using a low-power setting or a broom to remove loose dirt and debris. The low-pile design makes this effortless.
- Spot Cleaning: For small spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, which can spread the stain.
- Machine Washing: For a deeper clean, the rug is machine washable at 30°C (cold water).
- Before washing, shake or vacuum the rug to remove as much loose dirt as possible.
- Use a mild detergent.
- Do not bleach.
- Important: Ensure your washing machine has sufficient capacity for the rug's dimensions (120x180 cm). Overloading can damage both the rug and your machine.
- Drying: Line dry or lay flat to air dry. Do not tumble dry. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent potential fading over time. Ensure the rug is completely dry before placing it back on the floor.
- Moth-Proof: The built-in moth-proof treatment requires no special care from your side; simply follow general cleaning instructions.
- Non-Shedding: No specific care needed for shedding, as the rug is designed to be non-shedding.
