Cleona Black 3' x 5' Rug

This rug is power-loomed from 100% polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic material known for its exceptional resistance to moisture, mildew, and fading. Unlike wool, which can be difficult to clean and prone to shedding, polypropylene is non-porous and resists staining, making it a highly durable and budget-friendly choice for busy households that still want a posh, West Coast aesthetic.

To maintain the lush, 2-inch pile of this rug without damaging the fibers, we recommend using a vacuum with the beater bar turned off or adjusted to the highest pile setting. For the most effective deep clean, use a suction-only attachment or a specialized rug rake to lift deep-seated debris. This prevents the long synthetic yarns from tangling in the vacuum brush while keeping the texture soft and voluminous.

The 3' x 5' Cleona rug is an ideal scale for "zoning" in smaller living spaces. It works perfectly as a soft landing area beside a bed, as an anchor for a cozy reading nook, or to define a compact home office. For larger open-concept rooms, you can layer this size over a larger neutral jute or low-pile rug to introduce a pop of plush texture and sophisticated black color without overwhelming the floor plan.

Based on our material expertise, we recommend immediate action for spills by blotting with a clean, dry cloth—never rub, as this can push the liquid deeper into the high pile. Because polypropylene is water-resistant, you can effectively spot-clean with a mixture of mild detergent and cool water. For a total refresh, this material is also compatible with professional steam cleaning, ensuring your rug remains bright and hygienic.

While the durable synthetic yarns are designed for resilience, the deep, plush pile of a shag rug is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas. To prevent the fibers from matting or flattening over time, we recommend placing this rug in bedrooms, nurseries, or home offices. If used in a main living area, regular "re-fluffing" with a rug rake will help maintain its flowing dimension and soft texture year after year.

Yes, this rug is a practical choice for families and pet owners. The synthetic polypropylene fibers are inherently resistant to spills and accidents, allowing for easier spot-cleaning with mild detergent compared to natural fibers. Because it is power-loomed, it is also a low-shedding option, which helps minimize dander and fiber buildup in your home.
