Cleona Lilac 4' x 6' Rug

This rug is power-loomed using high-quality synthetic yarns, which are designed to be extremely low-shedding. While natural fiber shag rugs, like wool or flokati, often shed significantly for the first few months, a power-loomed polypropylene rug offers a clean, posh look from day one, making it an excellent option for those concerned about allergies or frequent vacuuming.

A 4' x 6' rug is a versatile "accent" size. In a bedroom, it is perfectly scaled to be placed at the foot or side of a queen or full-size bed, providing a soft, warm landing for your feet. For urban apartments or smaller living spaces, it fits beautifully under a standard coffee table to ground a seating area without overwhelming the room’s footprint.

Polypropylene is an ideal material for humid or coastal environments because it is naturally moisture-resistant and less susceptible to mold and mildew than organic fibers like cotton or wool. Its synthetic makeup also helps it retain its vibrant lilac color even in sunny rooms, ensuring the rug stays "bright and beautiful" regardless of the local climate conditions.

For active households, a synthetic rug made of polypropylene is often the superior choice. Unlike wool, which can be prone to shedding and absorbing odors, these durable synthetic yarns are inherently stain-resistant and non-absorbent. This makes them significantly easier to clean when spills or pet accidents occur. Our experts recommend synthetic fibers for high-traffic "zones" where durability and low maintenance are the primary concerns.

To maintain the "flowing dimension" of the pile, we suggest rotating your rug every six months to ensure even wear. In high-traffic areas, the fibers can eventually compress; however, synthetic polypropylene is highly resilient. Simply vacuuming without the beater bar or gently "fluffing" the fibers by hand can help the rug regain its original soft texture and volume.

To maintain the lush, thick pile of a shag rug, we recommend using a vacuum with the beater bar turned off or set to the highest "shag" height setting. A beater bar can snag or pull the long fibers, leading to premature wear. For a deep refresh, you can also take the rug outside and shake it or use a rug rake to loosen deeply embedded debris and restore the "west coast" airy aesthetic.
