Q&A(67)
Q: How thick is the rug? I am looking to put it in the entryway, but am afraid if it is too thick the door won't open correctly. Thanks!
A: I would say it is 1/4" thick.
submitted byPJI - 7 years agoA: I have one at my front door and have no problems with the thickness. Added a couple no slip pieces on the back corners to keep it from slipping. Otherwise a beautiful rug.
submitted byArizona - 5 months agoA: It is between and 1/8” and 1/4” thick. It is a very thin, right woven rug. We used the larger size in our dining room for years and it held up well to two toddlers and a dog. The colors are beautiful and work well with traditional or modern decor.
submitted bySsteinbe - 7 years agoA: It is fairly thin overall but the two short ends are folded over and sewn. As long as you don’t put those in front of the door you should have no problem opening and closing the door.

Q: How do you wash these rugs?
A: Hello lala77 - This stylish rug will add the warmth and durability you're looking for. It's recommended that you spot clean only and blot spills promptly. Thanks for checking out our rug collection. Enjoy your shopping. -Yamell
submitted byYamell - 8 years agoTarget staff supportA: My kitty just threw up on my brand new rug! :( I spot cleaned it using vinegar and baking soda and it came pretty clean, but definitely not an easy rug to clean. Hoping it withstands the family
submitted byNancyT - 6 years agoA: It will fall apart in the washing machine. Experienced that last week and returned for a new one. Blot spills or spot clean.
submitted byMama5 - 8 years agoA: i have one in my living room which received some foot traffic wear and dirt. spot cleaning didn't work so well and my local rug cleaner wanted more than what i paid for it so i took a chance and washed it outside laying flat on my driveway with a power washer on a very hot day. A little diluted dawn soap, a good spray down and then dried it flat. it worked great! some of the glued backing came a little loose on the corners but nothing that a glue gun couldn't fix.

Q: Does the gray have some blue hue to it? I am looking for a gray/blue combo, and the indigo was a little too beige (though I did love the color!)
A: I have purchased several different sizes of the "gray". I would definently say the gray color is a gray/blue. Hope this helps.
submitted byavid Target shopper - 3 years agoA: Hi cm - This rug will be great for any space! It has various colors of gray. Happy shopping! - Patricia
submitted byPatricia - 4 years agoTarget staff supportA: I’ve bought this three times and in my room, it’s more flax, green, and gray looking. Fabulous! I have lots of natural light. Love the rug but wish it came in 9x12. Also, be advised: It sheds like crazy! Be prepared to run a vacuum over it daily or get a Roomba. The Roomba will ball up the shedded materials into little flat oval tumbleweeds and dump them on the floor for you to discover. Contrary to what the Target rep keeps saying, the backing is not sticky. You will need double-sided carpet tape if you have wood or tile floors. The tape comes off easily and is much more effective than a pad. Warning: Lab puppies love to chew the corners! Spot clean only with Dawn, warm water, and a microfiber cloth. Make sure to blot dry or use a hairdryer to dry it if you have hardwood floors.

Q: How does this rug vacuum - specifically with a Roomba? I'm thinking of putting it under my kitchen table (where kids eat and spill!). Don't want to Roomba to ruin it/pull the threads.
A: John clearly hasn’t used this rug. It sheds like crazy. See my comment under the “color” question for more info, as I specifically addressed Roomba.
submitted byKasey - 10 months agoA: Hi, my Roomba has not ruined or pulled any of the threads on the two carpets, which I have. One is under the kitchen table, where my grandkids eats. I have had these rugs for over two years, they wear extremely well.
submitted bycatway - 4 years agoA: Hello MK15 - That's a great question about the care and cleaning for this rug. It is recommended to spot clean or wipe clean the rug if dirty. This is a flat woven rug, so there are no loose yarns, as they are tightly woven. Refer to your Roomba operating instructions for recommendations. Thanks for asking! - John

Q: Do you need to use a rug pad with this rug?
A: Hi Susan - Good question! This rug does have a latex backing on it already but for extra cushion and safety, feel free to add a rug pad. Happy shopping! -Terra
submitted byTerra - 7 years agoTarget staff supportA: I just bought this rug today at the store. There is absolutely not a latex backing on it. It's binded, but definitely does not have any latex on it. It will slide around. Not sure why the Target rep would say that.
submitted byTJRuns - 7 years agoA: The rug does not have rubber backing to prevent slippage. You will needs a rug pad placed under it.
submitted byTreehugger - 6 years ago
Q: Do these rugs have a heavy backing, or are they more like a rag rug.
A: Hmmm, the design must have changed. I have 3 of these rugs ( 3x5, 5x7, 9x12) and all have a fabric backing which is not rubberized. They are very flat with no plush or nap. I have a felt pad under each one. They look great and I am anxious to see how they wear.
submitted bysueo - 7 years agoA: Sus, this rug does not have any backing; it's reversible. The material is more like jute than rag, so it is fairly stiff. It is nice looking.
submitted byelsie - 8 years agoA: Hi Sus - Thanks for asking. This rug does have a backing made of latex and cotton to keep it in place. Have a great day! - Nathalie

Q: can you vacuum this rug
A: I vacuum mine weekly. No issues.
submitted byArizona - 5 months agoA: Hello - It is recommended these rugs be spot cleaned only, which will aid in them keeping their fresh off the loom appearance. - Brionna

Q: Does this rug shed? I am looking to get rid of a rug that I believe is Sisal, because it sheds badly not only on our clothing if we sit on it, but just daily sheds onto the surrounding floor. I do not want another one that does the same.
A: Yes, yes, yes. It sheds like crazy, but I’ve still bought the 7x10 one three times because the colors are gorgeous. I bought a Roomba who helps me with the jute bunnies.

Q: I was just wondering if it is soft or something similar to straw
A: Hello - This is Jute/cotton/viscose rugs so that it is soft but not similar to straw. Thanks
submitted byDEL #1 - 6 years agoBrand expertA: It's definitely something in between the two options. It's not a plush, soft carpet at all. But at the same time, it's not terribly uncomfortable like straw...

Q: What colors are in the INDIGO rug? Any teal?
A: Hi Egdunn - Thanks for asking about this durable beautiful handwoven rug. There's hints of shades all across the blue-green spectrum in the Indigo rug. Have a great day! - Philip
submitted byPhilip - 6 years agoTarget staff supportA: The indigo multi does have quite a bit of teal, but it's light, aquamarine might be a better description. From more than a few feet away it doesn't stand out distinctly, but shows as washes of aqua amongst the other colors. The magnified view of the closeup photo on the website shows it accurately.
