Q: Does this rug shed any fibers?
A: Mine has shed alot! You can't tell by looking at the rug, it still looks great. I have hardwoods throughout and the shedded fibers end up all over my apartment. Definitely recommend regular vacuuming. I've had mine for 1 year.
submitted byKdcashwell - 8 years agoA: Yes, at first it does shed a bit. I use a hardwood floor setting on the vacuum to help. I've had my rug for a year and I would say after a couple months the shedding subsided!
submitted byTLamb - 8 years agoA: No, it does not shed fibers. It I is a beautiful wool rug.
submitted byPegp - 8 years agoA: No...Simply gorgeous and durable!
submitted byRadio - 8 years agoA: I purchased two used 5x7 and if they shed, I did not see since I got them used. I did buy a matching runner and I don't see any shedding. I am going to purchase the next larger size but not in stock
submitted byTish - 2 years agoA: Yes, it does shed fibers, especially when new and if you go over it with a vacuum. We have a neato robotic vacuum that pulls little piles of fiber from the rug, but it is not noticeable on the rug itself. It is however frustrating to see the little piles lined up around the edges of the rug. Overall, this is a fantastic rug and I absolutely love it! Just beware that it will shed at first and you should use a hardwood floor setting when vacuuming to avoid the rug being brushed.
submitted byrarefinnej - 8 years agoA: Mine sheds like crazy! I vacuum/sweep every day because there are fibers all over my beautiful new hard wood floors. Shopping for a different option :( I wonder if mine was faulty. I'm tempted to buy another one because I love the color/design so much.

Q: What are the colors of the Indigo Rug in 9x12? There seem to be different rugs that show up for "Indigo" in the different sizes.
A: Hi Targetfan- Great question. The Indigo rug is navy, a light blue-grey and beige. The different pictures show the patterns on the rugs. Hope that helps. -Michelle
submitted byMichelle - 8 years agoTarget staff supportA: The 2 prior answers are correct. Great rug holding up well.
submitted byMike - 8 years agoA: I was hoping that like the smaller size .. it would pull more of the border s tan hue. However the 9x12 had a lighter brighter look as the center has a more open design showinh a lot of the cream.
submitted bySusan - 6 years agoA: I think that the fibers vary in color because it's a natural fiber. I also think because they are handwoven each rug may not be exactly the same. I think that adds character to the rug because it is not made by a machine. Note the video about child labor .
submitted byPeppermint - 5 years agoA: The Indigo Rug has navy, light blue, cream and a khaki-beige. Placed next to a bright white, the khaki-beige has a greenish hue.

Q: How is the rug quality.
A: The rug is nice enough that I've had guests comment and ask where they could find one. It's not like a hand made Turkish rug, of course, but it's soft to walk on and has held up well to moderate traffic for over a year now - still looking brand new. No pilling or pulls or fraying like that.
submitted byGoldmom - 8 years agoA: Hi Ashwin - We're glad you asked! It might be helpful to check out the reviews to see what other guests are saying about this stylish rug. We love this one, and we think you will too! - Stephanie
submitted byStephanie - 8 years agoTarget staff supportA: Quality is excellent. Would purchase again.

Q: Is the backing non skid?
A: Not non-skid. We have the 5x8 area rug and the hallway runner. The backing is soft-non scratch on both. We have a skid protector under the runner. No need for it in the area rug. It's big and heavy so doesn't move. Plus we have a table sitting on it.
submitted byShay - 9 years agoA: No it is not. But the rug is very nice. You could use a rug pad underneath.
submitted byStacy - 9 years agoA: I bought the runners and they did not have non skid backing.

Q: Can a rug doctor carpet cleaner be used on the rug?
A: Hi Kelli - Add timeless style to any room with this accent rug. We recommend spot cleaning with a cloth and a mild soap and warm water solution. Thanks! - Philip
submitted byPhilip - 7 years agoTarget staff supportA: I tried cleaning it and all the beige dye ran into the ivory making my entire rug look "dirty". Good luck cleaning it! : / . I am going to try to ruin its mate so at least they will both match.

Q: Does the red rug have gray in it or is it blue? I am wanting to pull gray into my living room.
A: This area rug has five shades of blue from a navy to a slate blue. These blues are complimented by grays, tans, and cream. The walls in my family room are painted a pale gray and the rug pulls it all together .

Q: Anyone know how true to the picture the neutral color is? It looks gray, black, and mustard yellow to me but I want to confirm before ordering.
A: I own this area rug. The predominant color scheme is blue. Several different shades, from navy (not black) to light blue-grey. What you perceive as mustard is beige.
submitted bySmorello - 8 years agoA: This rug is very Blue with an off white to white background. I expected it to be gray too. I kept it because the. Lie happened to match but found it to be a. Awkward color to match. Can't find pillows, curtains, etc in the same shade of blue.
