Cleona Green 2' x 7' Runner Rug

This rug is power-loomed using high-performance synthetic polypropylene yarns, making it exceptionally resilient against the foot traffic typical of hallways. While the "shag" style offers a lush, softening balance to your decor, synthetic fibers are specifically engineered to maintain their color and structure over time. For maximum longevity in high-traffic zones, we recommend occasionally rotating the rug to ensure even wear across the thick pile.

This rug is well-suited for various environments, including humid or coastal areas. Because it is crafted from 100% polypropylene, it is inherently resistant to moisture and mildew, which can often affect natural fiber rugs in damp conditions. This makes it an excellent choice for a "west coast aesthetic" in a beach house or a humid entryway, as it will stay bright and beautiful year after year.

For safety and to extend the life of your rug, we strongly recommend using a high-quality rug pad underneath. A pad provides the necessary grip to prevent a runner of this size from sliding or "creeping" on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile. It also adds an extra layer of cushioning, which complements the thick, lush pile for an even softer feel underfoot.

To preserve the lush texture of this shag rug, it is best to use a vacuum without a beater bar or to set your vacuum to the highest carpet height setting. This prevents the long fibers from being pulled or tangled in the brush roll. For a deeper clean, our care experts suggest using a handheld upholstery attachment or taking the rug outside to gently shake out any trapped dust or debris.

Yes, polypropylene is a preferred material for active households. Unlike natural fibers that can absorb moisture and odors, these durable synthetic yarns are naturally stain-resistant and non-absorbent. This makes cleaning up spills or pet accidents much more manageable. Additionally, the power-loomed construction ensures the fibers are securely placed, reducing the likelihood of shedding or snagging during play.

It is common for new rugs to have slight creases or curled edges after shipping. To flatten your runner quickly, try back-rolling the rug (rolling it tightly in the opposite direction) and letting it sit for a few hours. If the corners remain curled, placing a heavy object like a piece of furniture or a stack of books on them overnight will help the backing settle into its natural, flat position.
