Cleona Dark Gray 5'3 x 7'6 Rug

This rug is power-loomed using 100% polypropylene, a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional durability and resistance to stains. While the deep pile provides a soft, safe landing for kids and pets, we recommend regular maintenance to prevent hair or small crumbs from becoming embedded in the dense fibers. Based on our expertise with this material, polypropylene is also naturally moisture-resistant, making it easier to spot-clean compared to natural fibers.

While the synthetic yarns are incredibly durable, we generally recommend placing shag rugs in zones meant for relaxation rather than high-traffic thoroughfares. For hallways or entryways, a lower-pile runner is typically more practical for frequent foot traffic. This rug’s thick pile is best utilized in spaces where comfort is the priority, allowing the soft texture and plush feel to act as a focal point of the room's decor.

At 5'3" x 7'6", this rectangle rug is an ideal size for grounding furniture in a compact apartment or a dedicated seating area. While lighter colors typically expand a room, the posh dark gray tone of this piece is designed to provide a "softening balance" to clean-lined, modern furniture. It adds a sense of warmth and dimension without overwhelming the floor plan, making it a sophisticated choice for creating a cozy, curated environment.

To maintain the lush texture of this rug, we recommend vacuuming without the use of a beater bar. The high, thick pile can easily become tangled in a standard rotating brush, which may damage the fibers. Instead, use a vacuum with a high-pile setting or an upholstery attachment to gently lift away dust and debris while preserving the rug's soft, West Coast aesthetic.

This rug offers a budget-friendly alternative to wool without sacrificing the luxurious feel of a high pile. Polypropylene is a highly resilient synthetic material that is specifically engineered to stay "bright and beautiful" by resisting fading from sun exposure. Unlike wool, which can shed or require professional cleaning for deep stains, these durable synthetic yarns are designed for easier household maintenance and long-term color retention.

Because this rug features a luxurious, thick pile, it is best suited for low-to-moderate traffic areas like bedrooms or formal living rooms. To keep the fibers from matting, our care guide suggests occasionally rotating the rug to ensure even wear. For areas that see more frequent use, a rug rake can be used to gently "re-fluff" the synthetic yarns and maintain their original dimension and softness.
