Cleona Dark Brown 4' x 6' Rug

To preserve the lush, 2-inch pile and soft texture, our experts recommend vacuuming regularly using a canister vacuum or a handheld attachment without a beater bar. Rotating brushes can snag or pull high-pile fibers, so using suction-only settings is the best way to remove deeply embedded dust without damaging the rug's construction. For spills, we recommend immediate blotting with a clean cloth and a mild detergent.

Because this rug is power-loomed with durable synthetic yarns rather than hand-tufted natural wool, it is inherently low-shedding. The machine-woven construction ensures the fibers are tightly secured to the backing, maintaining the rug's "flowing dimension" and "lush pile" year after year. To prevent the fibers from flattening, we recommend occasionally shaking the rug out or using a rug rake to lift and restore the pile's original loft.

A solid dark brown rug is an excellent tool for grounding a room with a "relaxed west coast aesthetic." The rich, dark tone provides a sophisticated contrast to lighter wood floors or neutral-colored sofas, while the shag texture adds a layer of organic warmth. In modern spaces with minimalist furniture, the thick pile serves as a focal point that introduces visual depth and a sense of coziness without the distraction of a busy pattern.

This rug is power-loomed using 100% polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic fiber known for its exceptional durability and stain resistance. Unlike natural fibers, polypropylene is non-absorbent, making it a highly practical choice for busy households where spills may occur. Because the yarns are solution-dyed, this rug is also fade-resistant, ensuring the dark brown palette stays vibrant even in rooms with significant sunlight.

While the power-loomed synthetic yarns are incredibly durable, a high-pile shag rug is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas such as bedrooms, nurseries, or home offices. In these spaces, the plush texture provides a luxurious underfoot feel and acts as a "softening balance" to clean-lined furniture. For high-traffic transitional zones like narrow hallways, we generally recommend a low-pile runner to prevent the fibers from matting over time.

Polypropylene is a pet-friendly material because it is resistant to mold, mildew, and common household stains. However, the high-pile nature of a shag rug can trap pet hair more easily than a flat-weave option. We recommend regular vacuuming with a high-suction attachment to keep the fibers clean. For households with pets, the durability of the synthetic yarns ensures the rug can withstand frequent spot cleaning while maintaining its soft, posh feel.
