Cleona Cardinal 8' x 10' Rug

This rug is power-loomed from high-quality polypropylene yarns, which offers several distinct advantages over natural fibers like wool. Polypropylene is inherently moisture and stain-resistant, making it an excellent choice for busy households where spills might occur. Furthermore, synthetic yarns are known for being fade-resistant, so the vibrant color palette will remain bright and beautiful even in sun-drenched rooms or coastal homes with significant natural light.

Because this rug is constructed from durable synthetic yarns rather than natural wool, it is considered a low-shedding option. While some minor fiber loss is normal for new high-pile rugs, the power-loomed construction ensures that the fibers are securely anchored. This provides a lush, posh texture that maintains its density over time without the constant maintenance and vacuuming often required by natural fiber alternatives.

To preserve the soft texture and flowing dimension of the lush pile, our experts recommend vacuuming without a beater bar or using a hand-held upholstery attachment. This prevents the vacuum from pulling or damaging the long fibers. For spills, our care guide recommends blotting the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Because of the synthetic material, you can effectively spot-clean with a mild detergent and cool water as needed to keep the rug looking new year after year.

While the deep pile of a shag rug is exceptionally soft underfoot, it can trap pet hair and dander more easily than low-pile options. However, the polypropylene fibers in this rug are a smart choice for pet owners because they do not absorb moisture or odors like natural materials. For a pet-friendly home, we recommend regular vacuuming with an appropriate attachment to prevent debris from settling into the base of the pile, ensuring a clean and hygienic environment for your family.

An 8' x 10' rug is a versatile size that works perfectly to ground a primary seating area or a large bedroom. In a living room, this scale typically allows the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs to rest on the rug, which "anchors" the furniture and prevents a "floating" look. For a bedroom, this size fits beautifully under a queen or king-sized bed, extending 24 to 36 inches on either side to provide a warm, comfortable landing for your feet every morning.

This rug features a thick, lush pile designed for a relaxed aesthetic and superior comfort. While all high-pile rugs may show some matting over time in high-traffic zones, the durable synthetic yarns used in this construction are specifically engineered for resilience. To maintain a uniform appearance and extend the life of the rug, we recommend rotating it every six months to ensure even wear and occasionally "fluffing" the fibers in areas where heavy furniture has been placed.
