FAQs

Is this rug suitable for homes with pets and children?

Yes, absolutely! The Desire Rugs Oxford 912 is made from durable 100% polypropylene, which is inherently stain and fade-resistant, making it an excellent choice for busy households with kids and pets.

How do I clean the Oxford Shaggy Rug?

For routine cleaning, simply shake the rug or vacuum it regularly. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution and dab gently. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Will the vibrant red color fade over time, especially in a sunny room?

No, the rug is treated with advanced colourfast technology designed to maintain its vibrant hue even with prolonged exposure to sunlight. Its rich color will remain true for years to come.

Is this rug safe for people with allergies?

Yes, it is. The materials used in the production of this rug are OEKO-TEX certified, meaning they are tested and free from harmful substances, making it suitable for individuals with allergies or sensitivities.

Does the rug shed fibers?

No, the Oxford Shaggy Rug features a non-shedding design. You may notice a few loose fibers initially, which is normal, but it will not shed continuously like some other rug types.

What is the pile height of this rug?

The rug features a luxurious 4.5cm deep cut pile, offering exceptional softness and comfort underfoot.

Can this rug be used in high-traffic areas like a hallway?

Yes, thanks to its robust 100% polypropylene construction and non-shedding properties, the Oxford Shaggy Rug is durable enough to withstand high-traffic areas, maintaining its quality and appearance.

Troubleshooting

Rug won't lay completely flat after unrolling.

Reverse roll the rug tightly for a few hours, then unroll it. Alternatively, place heavy books or furniture on the curled edges for a day or two. The rug will settle over time as it relaxes.

Indentations from heavy furniture are visible.

Gently fluff up the pile with your fingers or a soft brush. Periodically move heavy furniture slightly to allow the pile to recover. You can also try placing felt pads under furniture legs to distribute weight more evenly.

A stain has occurred on the rug.

Blot the spill immediately with a clean, dry white cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap mixed with water on a clean cloth, dab the stain, then blot dry. Always test cleaning solutions on an inconspicuous area first.

The rug's color appears different in my home than it did online.

This can happen due to screen calibration and lighting differences. Compare the rug in natural daylight and artificial light. Actual colors may vary slightly, as noted in the product description.

My vacuum cleaner struggles with the deep pile.

Use a vacuum cleaner with adjustable height settings and set it to the highest pile setting. If your vacuum has a rotating brush, ensure it can be turned off, as a rotating brush can sometimes damage deep pile rugs. A suction-only vacuum or one with a beater bar that can be raised is ideal.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Unpack Carefully: Gently unroll the rug upon arrival. It may have been rolled tightly for shipping.
  2. Allow to Settle: Place the rug in its desired location. It might have slight creases or curled edges initially. These will typically flatten out within a few days. You can also reverse roll it gently for a short period or place heavy, flat objects on the corners to speed up the process.
  3. Use a Rug Pad (Optional but Recommended): A non-slip rug pad underneath can help keep the rug securely in place, prevent slipping, and provide additional cushioning and floor protection. > Info needed: Specific rug pad recommendations.

Compatibility

The Oxford Shaggy Rug, with its modern design and vibrant red color, is highly versatile:

  • Rooms: Ideally suited for living rooms, bedrooms, dining areas, hallways, and entryways where you want to add warmth, texture, and a pop of color.
  • Flooring: Compatible with most flooring types, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpet. Using a rug pad is especially beneficial on smooth surfaces.
  • Style: Its simple, bold design complements various interior styles, from contemporary and minimalist to more eclectic decors. Consider the rug's 160x230cm dimensions to ensure it fits your intended space effectively and defines the area as desired.

Care

  • Regular Vacuuming: For daily or weekly maintenance, vacuum the rug regularly to remove dust and loose debris. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush roll that can be turned off or set to a high pile height setting to avoid damaging the deep pile. Shake smaller rugs outdoors to dislodge dirt.
  • Spot Cleaning: In case of spills, blot the affected area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For tougher stains, use a mild soap and lukewarm water solution. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth, dab the stain, then blot dry with another clean cloth. Test any cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area first.
  • Deep Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically to maintain its appearance and longevity. > Info needed: Recommended frequency for professional cleaning.
  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use strong detergents, bleach, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the polypropylene fibers and affect the colorfast treatment.
  • Rotate Regularly: To ensure even wear and exposure to light, rotate your rug every few months.
  • Sunlight Exposure: While the rug is colourfast, prolonged direct sunlight over many years can still cause some subtle fading. Consider using curtains or blinds to protect it during peak sun hours.
