Is the Scalby rug soft enough for a living room?

It is a medium-pile polypropylene rug, so it feels firm and durable rather than plush. It works well under furniture and in seating areas, but it is not a cushiony rug for sitting on the floor.

How does polypropylene compare with wool?

Polypropylene resists stains, moisture and fading better than wool and is easier to clean. Wool feels softer and more premium, but it costs more and needs gentler care.

Will it work under a dining table?

Yes. The 0.24-inch pile and 0.31-inch thickness let chairs slide and keep the rug low enough for most table settings. Its stain resistance helps with spills.

Does it need a rug pad?

A pad is not required, but it adds cushioning, reduces slipping on hard floors and helps the rug last longer. Use a pad sized to the rug.

How should I clean it?

Vacuum regularly with a suction-only setting, blot spills promptly with a damp cloth, and spot clean with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and machine washing.
