FAQs
Is this rug suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Desire Rugs Chester Shaggy Rug is specifically designed and intended for indoor use only.
How do I clean my shaggy rug?
Regular vacuuming using a suction-only setting is recommended. For spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth and spot clean with a mild carpet cleaner as needed. The rug is colour-fast and non-shedding, making maintenance straightforward.
Will the rug shed a lot?
This rug is designed to be non-shedding. Any minimal loose fibers upon arrival are typically manufacturing residue and will disappear after initial vacuuming.
How soft is the pile?
It features a luxurious 30mm deep pile, providing an incredibly soft and comfortable feel underfoot, perfect for cozy spaces.
What are the exact dimensions of this rug?
This specific rug measures 120cm in width by 170cm in length (or height).
What materials is the rug made from?
The rug is crafted from a durable blend of 75% polypropylene and 25% polyester, with a natural jute backing for structure.
Does the rug have a strong chemical smell?
No, the rug is described as ecological and odourless, designed to be free from any strong chemical bad smell upon arrival.
Can I machine wash this rug?
No, machine washing, tumble drying, or dry cleaning is not recommended for this rug. Please follow the spot cleaning and vacuuming instructions for proper care.
Troubleshooting
Rug does not lie completely flat after unrolling
Allow the rug 24-48 hours to settle naturally. For persistent curling at the edges, gently reverse roll the affected sections or place heavy, flat objects (like books) on the corners overnight to help them relax.
My rug appears to be shedding fibers
The Chester Shaggy Rug is specifically designed to be non-shedding. Any minimal loose fibers observed initially are typically manufacturing residue and should cease after a few regular vacuuming sessions. If shedding persists beyond a few weeks, please consult customer support.
How do I deal with a spill or stain effectively?
Act quickly! Immediately blot liquid spills with a clean, dry, white cloth, working from the outside of the spill inwards to prevent spreading. For tougher stains, spot clean with a small amount of mild carpet cleaner diluted as per product instructions, applied to a clean cloth, then gently dab the stained area. Avoid rubbing vigorously.
The rug occasionally shifts or slides on my smooth floor
While the jute backing provides some stability, for optimal security and to prevent slipping on very smooth surfaces (such as polished hardwood or tile), we recommend placing an anti-slip rug pad underneath the rug.
The plush pile in high-traffic areas looks flattened
Regular vacuuming, using a suction-only attachment, will help lift and rejuvenate the pile. You can also gently brush the pile with your hand or a soft brush to restore its fluffy texture. Rotating the rug periodically can also help distribute wear more evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unroll: Carefully unroll your new Chester Shaggy Rug in the desired location.
Allow to Settle: It may take 24-48 hours for the rug to completely flatten out after shipping. For persistent curls, gently reverse roll the affected edges or place heavy, flat objects on them overnight.
Compatibility
Indoor Use: This rug is designed exclusively for indoor environments, making it perfect for bedrooms, living rooms, and any interior space needing warmth and style.
Dimensions: This specific rug measures 120cm x 170cm, ensuring it fits well in various room layouts. Always measure your space to ensure the best fit.
Decor Style: Its checkered pattern and fashionable lilac color are ideal for complementing modern and contemporary home aesthetics.
Floor Types: Suitable for use on most indoor floor types. For optimal stability on very smooth surfaces (e.g., polished wood, tile), consider using an anti-slip rug pad underneath.
Care Instructions
Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum your rug regularly using a suction-only setting (avoiding beater bars which can damage shaggy piles) to remove dust and loose debris and to help restore the pile's plushness.
Spot Cleaning: For liquid spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry, white cloth to absorb as much liquid as possible. For tougher stains, use a mild carpet cleaner specifically designed for synthetic fibers. Apply to a clean cloth first, then dab the stain, working from the outside in. Do not rub aggressively.
Non-Shedding: The rug is designed to be non-shedding. Any initial loose fibers are typically residue from the manufacturing process and will subside after a few vacuumings.
Colour-Fast: The material is colour-fast, meaning the lilac color will resist fading during cleaning and regular exposure to indoor light.
No Machine Washing: Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or dry clean the rug. Follow spot cleaning instructions.
Rotation: Rotate your rug periodically (e.g., every 6-12 months) to ensure even wear, especially in high-traffic areas.
