Cleona Red 8' x 10' Rug

Yes, this rug is power-loomed using 100% polypropylene, a synthetic yarn specifically engineered for high durability and stain resistance. Unlike natural fibers that may absorb spills, polypropylene is non-porous and colorfast, meaning it resists fading and is much easier to maintain in busy households. This construction ensures the vibrant red shade stays "bright and beautiful" even in the sun-drenched rooms often found in coastal or southern climates.

To maintain the lush, thick pile of a shag rug, we recommend using a vacuum with a high-pile setting and turning off the beater bar (the rotating brush). This prevents the long fibers from getting tangled or pulled. For a deeper refresh, our experts recommend occasionally using a rug rake or an upholstery attachment to lift the pile and prevent matting in areas where you walk most frequently.

A polypropylene shag rug can be an excellent choice for families. The material is naturally resistant to spills and common household stains, and the dense, multi-dimensional texture of the "Cleona" shag is effective at hiding small amounts of pet hair or debris between deeper cleanings. For any accidents, our care guide recommends immediate spot cleaning with a mild detergent and cool water to keep the fibers fresh and hygienic.

Because this rug is power-loomed with synthetic yarns rather than hand-tufted with wool, it experiences significantly less shedding than traditional shag options. While you may see a few loose fibers immediately after unrolling, this is normal and will subside quickly with regular, gentle vacuuming. This makes it an ideal choice for urban apartments or modern homes where you want to minimize dust and maintenance.

Based on our expertise with synthetic materials, the best approach is to blot—never rub—the spill immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn spots, you can use a mixture of mild detergent and water. Because polypropylene is moisture-resistant, it can also be steam-cleaned periodically to remove deeply embedded dirt, ensuring the rug remains a soft, plush centerpiece in your home for years to come.

An 8' x 10' rug is the ideal size for grounding a standard-sized living room or a queen-sized bedroom set. In a living area, follow the "front legs rule": place the rug so the front legs of your sofa and accent chairs rest on the rug, with the back legs off. This creates a cohesive, "anchored" look that prevents furniture from appearing as if it is floating, while leaving enough of your hardwood or tile floor visible to maintain a balanced, airy feel.
