FAQs
Can this rug be used outdoors?
No, the Chester Shaggy Area Rug is designed exclusively for indoor use. Exposure to outdoor elements can damage its materials and backing.
How do I clean a spill on the rug?
For spills, immediately blot the liquid with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain. For tougher stains, use a mild rug cleaning solution, dabbing gently and blotting dry.
Is the rug soft to walk on?
Yes, with a 30mm deep plush pile, this rug is incredibly soft and comfortable, making it perfect for bare feet.
What materials is the rug made from?
The rug is made from a blend of 75% polypropylene and 25% polyester, with a natural jute backing for structure and stability.
Will this rug slide on my hard floors?
The jute backing helps to provide some grip. However, for maximum stability and to prevent any sliding, especially on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile, we highly recommend using a non-slip rug pad underneath.
How often should I vacuum the rug?
Regular vacuuming 1-2 times a week on a low-power setting without a beater bar is recommended to keep the rug clean and maintain its plush appearance, especially in high-traffic areas.
Troubleshooting
Rug corners won't lay flat after unrolling
Allow 1-2 days for the rug to settle. You can also place heavy books on the curled corners overnight or gently reverse-roll the affected edges before laying the rug down again.
Rug is slipping on the floor
While the jute backing provides some grip, for optimal stability and safety, especially on hard, smooth floors, use a high-quality non-slip rug pad underneath the rug.
Shaggy pile appears matted or flattened
Regularly vacuum the rug on a low-power setting without a beater bar to lift the pile. For stubborn areas, gently use your fingers or a soft brush to fluff up the fibers.
Visible lint or shedding
Some initial shedding is normal for new rugs, especially shaggy ones. Regular, gentle vacuuming will help remove loose fibers and reduce shedding over time. This should decrease significantly within a few weeks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your Chester Shaggy Area Rug in your desired location. It may have temporary creases or curl at the edges from packaging.
Allow to Settle: Give the rug 1-2 days to flatten out completely. You can place heavy objects (like books) on the corners to speed up the process. Reverse-rolling the rug for a few hours before placement can also help.
Consider a Rug Pad: For added comfort, noise reduction, and to further prevent slipping on hard floors, consider placing a non-slip rug pad underneath. This also protects delicate flooring surfaces.
Compatibility
Indoor Use Only: This rug is specifically designed for indoor environments. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures can damage the materials and backing.
Floor Types: Compatible with most indoor flooring types, including hardwood, tile, laminate, and carpet. The jute backing is generally safe for floors, but a rug pad is recommended for extra protection on sensitive surfaces.
Room Placement: Ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, studies, and other low to high-traffic indoor areas where warmth and softness are desired.
Care
Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum your rug regularly on a low-power setting, preferably without a beater bar, to prevent damage to the shaggy pile. This helps remove dirt and maintain its plushness.
Spot Cleaning: For spills and small stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild rug cleaner diluted with water and gently dab the affected area. Avoid scrubbing, which can push the stain deeper.
Deep Cleaning: For a thorough clean, professional rug cleaning is recommended periodically. Avoid saturating the rug, as excessive moisture can damage the jute backing.
Rotate Regularly: To ensure even wear and tear, rotate your rug every few months, especially in high-traffic areas.
Avoid Direct Sunlight: While durable, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause colors to fade over time. Position your rug to minimize this.
Check for Backing Damage: Regularly inspect the jute backing for any signs of damage or moisture, as this can affect the rug's structure.
