about synthetic rugs (also know as polypropylene)
Highly durable and affordable rugs made with synthetic materials, such as polypropylene, are commonly used for outdoor areas, such as pool areas, patios, boats, marinas and basements.
They can also be used in indoor rugs, often mixed with other materials to improve their benefits.
Synthetic rugs are composed of man-made materials, such as viscose, nylon, polyester, and olefin. These materials serve to imitate natural fibers, and this type of rug is often used in outdoor spaces, basements, and on boats.
Synthetic materials are great for outdoor rugs because they don’t fade when placed in direct sunlight. These rugs are easy to maintain because you can clean them by simply tossing them into the washing machine or hosing them down.
Synthetic rugs are an inexpensive alternative to more costly options, such as wool and silk.
It’s important to note that these rugs are harder to dye than cotton and silk rugs, so you may have limited color or pattern choices.
