Cleona Taupe 4' x 6' Rug

One of the primary advantages of this rug’s polypropylene construction is that it is virtually non-shedding. While wool shag rugs are known for losing fibers throughout their lifespan, these durable synthetic yarns are power-loomed to stay intact. This makes it a great choice for those who want the cozy aesthetic of a high pile without the constant maintenance of shedding.

To maintain the lush texture of a shag rug, we recommend using a vacuum with the beater bar or rotating brush turned off. A high-powered brush can pull at the long fibers, causing premature wear or tangling. For the best results and to prevent matting, use a suction-only setting or a handheld upholstery attachment to gently remove dust and debris from deep within the pile.

Based on our expertise with synthetic fibers, we recommend immediate action for spills. Blot the area with a clean, dry cloth to remove as much liquid as possible—never rub, as this can push the stain deeper into the thick pile. For remaining marks, spot-clean using a mixture of mild detergent and cool water. Because polypropylene is quick-drying and moisture-resistant, it handles this type of localized cleaning very well.

Yes, this rug is an excellent option for active households. It is power-loomed from 100% polypropylene, a high-performance synthetic fiber known for its inherent stain resistance and durability. Unlike natural fibers that can absorb moisture, these synthetic yarns are less likely to hold onto odors and can withstand the frequent spot-cleaning often necessary in homes with kids or pets.

While all high-pile rugs are best suited for medium to low-traffic areas (like bedrooms or formal sitting rooms), the resilient nature of these synthetic yarns helps the rug bounce back better than many natural alternatives. To prevent uneven wear and "traffic lanes," we suggest rotating your rug every six months. If areas do begin to look flat, a gentle raking with a rug rake or even your fingers can help re-fluff and restore its "relaxed west coast" dimension.

A 4' x 6' rug is highly versatile and particularly well-suited for smaller footprints like urban apartments or targeted "zoning" in larger rooms. In a small living area, it works beautifully grounded under a coffee table. It is also an ideal size for a bedside accent, providing a soft, warm surface to step onto in the morning, or as a softening element in a home office or nursery.
