Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unroll the Rug: Carefully unroll your Desire Rugs Oxford 912 in the desired location. It may have creases or slight curling initially due to packaging.
- Allow to Settle: Give the rug 24-48 hours to flatten completely. Reverse rolling the rug overnight before placement can help speed up this process.
- Positioning: Adjust the rug to ensure it is centered and sits well within your room's layout.
Compatibility
- Floor Types: This rug is compatible with most floor types, including hardwood, laminate, tile, and carpet. For smooth surfaces like tile or polished wood, consider using a non-slip rug pad to prevent movement and add an extra layer of cushioning.
- Room Suitability: Its durable and stain-resistant nature makes it suitable for high-traffic areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, or even hallways.
- Allergy Sufferers: The OEKO-TEX certification confirms the rug is free from harmful substances, making it a safe and compatible choice for individuals with allergies or sensitivities.
Care & Maintenance
Proper care will ensure your Desire Rugs Oxford 912 maintains its soft texture and appearance for years.
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum the rug regularly, preferably with a suction-only vacuum or a high pile setting, to prevent dirt and dust from settling deep into the fibers. Avoid using a beater bar, which can damage the shaggy pile.
- Spot Cleaning: For spills, act immediately. Blot the affected area with a clean, white cloth, working from the outside of the stain inwards. Use a mild rug cleaner diluted with water if necessary, then blot dry. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Deep Cleaning: For thorough cleaning or stubborn stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended every 1-2 years.
- Rotate Periodically: Rotate your rug every 3-6 months to ensure even wear and exposure to light, preventing localized fading.
- Avoid Excessive Moisture: Polypropylene is water-resistant, but avoid oversaturating the rug during cleaning. Ensure it is thoroughly dried to prevent mildew.
