- Is this rug soft enough for a bedroom?
- Yes. The hand-tufted wool pile is dense and soft underfoot, which suits bedrooms and living rooms. It is not a flat-weave, so it adds cushioning.
- Does the wool shed?
- Wool rugs commonly shed loose fibers at first, and owners of this one report it. Vacuum gently without a beater bar and shedding should ease over time.
- What sizes and shapes does it come in?
- The Vermont MSR3505A line comes in several rectangular sizes, from small accent rugs to larger room sizes. Check the specific listing for the size you need.
- Can it go in a dining room or entryway?
- It works under a dining table, but the light ivory wool shows dirt and stains. For busy entryways a darker, more stain-resistant rug is a safer choice.
- How should I clean it?
- Vacuum regularly on low suction without a beater bar, blot spills right away and use a wool-safe cleaner. Professional cleaning is best for deep stains.
- Does it need a rug pad?
- A pad is recommended. It keeps the cotton backing from slipping, adds cushioning and helps the rug wear evenly.
