Polypropylene is a synthetic material ideally suited for high traffic areas where kids play, or common walkways in the home.
Made from plastic polymers, polypropylene rugs do not contain dyes that will fade, and spills and stains can be wiped up with mild detergent.
However, just because they are made from synthetic materials, does not mean they cannot be beautiful. While a natural fiber Persian rug may cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, the same designs in a polypropylene rug can be bought for a fraction of that. When buying your rug, be sure to buy a rug pad to go with it. A rug pad will keep your rug from slipping and the transfer of any color or material. To choose a rug pad, find a size that is a little smaller than the rug itself. If you have to buy larger, take a pair of scissors and cut it to size.
Polypropylene rugs come in all shapes and sizes, from very large square or rectangular rugs to cover a living area floor or kids play room, to narrow runners that can extend down the longest halls. So many beautiful patterns are available that you can easily find a classic Oriental pattern or a contemporary polypropylene rug that will complement your home.
Polypropylene is such a practical material that you may never want to purchase anything else. The durable synthetic stand up to a professional cleaning using the best carpet steam cleaners, washes down with mild soap, and does not absorb water. For a major spill, wash it down and hang it outside. Your polypropylene rug will be dry in a short time. Even better, the colors of your rug will not run when your rug gets wet.
For the same reasons polypropylene rugs make great rugs for high traffic areas in your home, they are an excellent choice for outdoors as well. Use a large polypropylene area rug to enhance outdoor decor and create a supple surface to walk on. Keep your rug in a shaded area, a patio or gazebo for instance, where it will not have direct exposure to sun or rain.
Of course, there are many bargain online stores to shop for your polypropylene rug, but for the best experience, go shopping where you can walk on it first.
