Aundra Gray 5' x 8' Rug

To preserve the integrity of the fibers, this rug is designated as "spot clean only." Based on our expertise with synthetic materials, we recommend blotting spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth and a mild detergent if necessary. Regular vacuuming will also prevent dirt from settling into the pile. Because polypropylene is non-absorbent, it resists deep staining, which simplifies the maintenance of its contemporary abstract design.

Yes, this rug is particularly well-suited for busy households. The combination of durable polypropylene construction and a distressed, abstract pattern is excellent for hiding the minor wear and tear associated with pets and children. Additionally, synthetic fibers are less prone to shedding than wool, providing a cleaner environment for families.

This rug is crafted from 100% polypropylene, a synthetic fiber highly regarded for its exceptional resilience and durability. Polypropylene is inherently stain-resistant and moisture-repellent, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic zones like entryways or family rooms. Unlike natural fibers, these synthetic strands are designed to withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining their shape and color over time.

We strongly recommend using a rug pad to enhance both safety and the longevity of the piece. A high-quality pad provides essential "grip" to prevent the rug from sliding on hard flooring surfaces. Furthermore, it adds a layer of cushion that protects the rug's backing from friction against the floor, which helps extend the life of the fibers and maintains the rug's contemporary look for years to come.

Polypropylene is an excellent material choice for humid environments. Unlike natural fibers like jute or wool, synthetic polypropylene is naturally resistant to mold and mildew because it does not trap moisture. This makes it a reliable and long-lasting option for homes in coastal regions where humidity levels may be higher.

A 5' x 8' rug (with actual dimensions of 90"L x 63"W) is a versatile choice for smaller living areas or defining specific zones within an apartment. For a balanced look, we suggest following the "18-inch rule," leaving a border of bare floor between the rug's edges and the walls. In a living room, this size works perfectly when placed under the front legs of a sofa or centered beneath a coffee table to anchor the seating arrangement.
