Stirling English Country Argyle Area Rug

Q : Is this rug suitable for a home with pets? will pet hair be an issue?

A : The Stirling rug is made of 100% polyester with a low pile height of 0.08 inches, which generally makes it easier to vacuum up pet hair compared to higher pile rugs. While it doesn't have specific pet-proof features, the durable polyester construction should hold up reasonably well to daily wear and tear from pets. We recommend regular vacuuming with a brushless vacuum to keep it clean.

Q : How do i clean this rug if i spill something on it?

A : For spills, it's best to act quickly. Blot any liquid immediately with a clean, undyed cloth, pressing firmly around the spill to absorb as much as possible. For tougher stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended. It's also advised to avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight to maintain its color.

Q : Will this rug shed a lot, especially when new?

A : The rug is made from 100% polyester with a low pile, which typically means minimal shedding. While some initial shedding might occur as with many new rugs, it's not generally a significant issue with this type of material and construction. Regular vacuuming will help manage any loose fibers.

Q : Can this rug withstand heavy foot traffic in a living room?

A : This rug is power-loomed in Turkey and made of durable polyester with a low pile. While it's designed for elegance, it can handle moderate foot traffic in areas like a living room, bedroom, or dining room. For very high-traffic zones, using a rug pad is recommended, and rotating the rug periodically will help ensure even wear.

Q : What does the rug feel like under bare feet?

A : The rug has a low pile height of just 0.08 inches, so it will feel relatively smooth and firm underfoot rather than plush. The polyester fibers are easy-care and comfortable for everyday use in living spaces.

Q : I'm concerned about creases from shipping. how long do they usually last?

A : It's common for rugs to have temporary creases from packing and shipping. These usually flatten out on their own within about a week once the rug is laid flat. To speed up the process, you can try back-rolling the rug before laying it down, which helps the creases relax faster.

Q : Does this rug come with a backing, or do i need to buy one separately?

A : The product details state that the rug is made with a cotton backing for durability. However, it also mentions 'No backing, use of rug pad is recommended (sold separately)'. To be safe and protect your floors, it's best to purchase a rug pad separately.
