FAQs
What type of flooring is best for this rug?
This rug is suitable for various flooring types, including hardwood, tile, and laminate. Using a rug pad underneath is recommended for added cushioning and to prevent slippage.
How often should I vacuum this wool rug?
It is recommended to vacuum the rug at least once a week to remove dust and debris. For the first few weeks, you may need to vacuum more frequently to manage initial shedding.
Can this rug be used in a very high-traffic area?
While wool is durable, its hand-woven nature and 10mm pile height are best suited for moderate to high-traffic areas. Very heavy traffic might accelerate wear. Rotating the rug can help distribute wear evenly.
Is the red color fade-resistant?
Wool has natural colorfastness, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fading. It's advisable to keep the rug out of direct, intense sunlight or use window coverings.
What does 3214 GSM mean?
GSM stands for 'grams per square meter.' A higher GSM indicates a denser and heavier rug, contributing to its durability and luxurious feel. 3214 GSM is a substantial weight for a rug.
Are there other sizes or colors available?
This guide focuses on the Oriental Weavers Carter Red Wool Rug in the specified dimensions. Please refer to the retailer for information on other available sizes and colors.
Troubleshooting
Rug is not lying flat
Ensure the rug has had adequate time (24-48 hours) to settle. Try placing heavy objects on the corners or edges to help flatten it.
Noticeable shedding
Initial shedding is normal for wool rugs. Vacuum regularly (without a beater bar) to manage loose fibers. Shedding should decrease over time.
Spill has stained the rug
Blot the spill immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For stubborn stains, consult a professional rug cleaner specializing in wool.
Color appears different than expected
Screen color reproduction varies. Refer to the product description for material and construction details. Consider ordering a swatch if color is critical.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Unroll the rug completely upon arrival. Allow it to rest for 24-48 hours to help it lay flat and for any creases from shipping to disappear. For quicker flattening, you can place heavy objects on the corners.
Compatibility:
This rug is suitable for most indoor environments. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems, but it's always recommended to check with your heating system manufacturer for specific advice. Due to its wool construction, it's best used in areas with moderate foot traffic to preserve its appearance.
Care:
- Vacuuming: Regularly vacuum the rug using a vacuum cleaner without a beater bar or brush, on a low setting. This helps remove surface dirt and prevent excessive shedding.
- Spills: Blot up spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain and damage the wool fibers.
- Deep Cleaning: For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture, which can harm the wool.
- Rotation: Rotate the rug periodically to ensure even wear.
