Product Insights
This exclusive Simons Maison rug delivers a deep blue floral vintage look with a printed construction that withstands washing and resists fading, all at $119 CAD—undercutting similar designer options like Ruggable. Its machine-washable polyester pile is soft but low, suitable for moderate traffic but may crush in very high use. Care demands cold water, half detergent, no bleach or softener, and air drying; active homes should wash every 3–4 months. Initial shedding decreases with washes. The main tradeoff: the non-skid backing can damage hardwood floors, requiring a rug pad, adding to upkeep.

Deep Research
Machine washing and long-term rug care
- The non-skid backing on washable polyester rugs bonds to the fabric through a thermoplastic layer that softens and delaminates under hot water; a cold (30°C / 86°F) delicate cycle keeps that bond intact, preventing the edge curl and backing separation that render a rug unsafe on hard floors.
- At roughly 4 × 6 feet, the Ancient Blooms rug is sized to fit comfortably inside a standard 3.5–4.4 cubic-foot front-load washing machine, with enough room to tumble freely for even cleaning without straining the motor — a practical assurance for anyone without a commercial-sized unit.
- Using a fragrance-free, dye-free liquid detergent like Tide Free & Gentle at half the recommended amount avoids over-sudsing that leaves a sticky residue on polyester fibers; that residue attracts dirt faster and dulls the printed design, so less detergent actually keeps the rug looking cleaner between washes.
- A 4 × 6 foot rug of this construction traps roughly half a cup of loose dirt, hair, and grit in its pile; vacuuming thoroughly before washing removes that debris so it doesn't act like a scouring powder against the printed surface during the agitation cycle, which preserves the vibrancy of the Ancient Blooms design.
- In normal households, washing this rug every 6–9 months is adequate, but with pets or heavy foot traffic, a 3–4 month interval prevents ground-in soil from abrading the print and keeps the non-skid backing from absorbing moisture that promotes mildew.
- Fabric softener coats the non-skid backing with a slick residue that reduces grip, while chlorine bleach attacks the backing material directly, causing it to crumble over time — for a rug that sits on smooth floors, maintaining the slip-resistant function means never adding softener or bleach to the wash.
- A 120 × 180 cm polyester rug can become heavy when saturated, and a high-spin cycle creates enough imbalance to knock the drum off its suspension; setting the spin to low or medium shields both the washer's mechanics and the rug's sewn edges from the kind of stress that causes fraying.
Value compared to similar rugs
- Ruggable's washable rug pricing starts at roughly $150 USD for a doormat and climbs to over $900 for a 9x12, placing their entire catalog above the $119 CAD this Simons Maison rug commands for a full 4x6 accent rug — a size-for-price gap that makes the Simons piece one of the most accessible machine-washable rugs available.
- Unlike Ruggable's two-part rug system where the pad can account for roughly half the purchase price according to owner reports, the Ancient Blooms rug includes a non-skid backing directly on the polyester cover, eliminating the need for a separate pad and making the low sticker price the real all-in cost.
- The Ancient Blooms pattern is a Simons Maison exclusive designed in Canada, giving it a boutique design origin that at $119 CAD defies the typical markup of designer-collab rugs — a Ruggable Jonathan Adler tufted 5x7, for instance, runs $429 USD — while still offering a unique weathered floral motif you won't find in open-market imports.

Q&A
5 answered- What is the recommended washing cycle and drying method for this rug?
- The rug is described as easy machine-care. For polyester rugs like this, we recommend a cold water gentle cycle and air drying or low heat tumble dry to protect the non-skid backing.
- Is the polyester pile soft or scratchy, and does it shed?
- Polyester pile can vary, but generally it is soft to the touch. Some shedding may occur initially, especially with new rugs, though we don't have specific reviewer feedback on this rug.
- Is the non-skid backing made of latex, and will it damage hardwood or laminate floors?
- The listing indicates a non-skid backing but doesn't specify the material. Many non-skid backings contain latex, which can sometimes damage hardwood floors; we recommend using a rug pad to protect your floors.
- Is the 'weathered' appearance achieved through printing or a distressed finish, and does the blue background look darker or lighter in person?
- The weathered appearance is achieved through printing on the polyester fabric. As for color, the blue background is described as 'deep blue', so it may appear darker than the product images depending on lighting.
- Is this rug suitable for high-traffic areas, and how well does it resist crushing and fading?
- Polyester is durable and stain-resistant, making it suitable for moderate traffic. However, for very high-traffic areas, it may show crushing over time. It should resist fading well due to polyester's UV resistance.
