Product Insights
This designer-exclusive outdoor rug blends plush cream squares for comfort with textured black squares for durability, offering a softer feel than typical flatweaves at its sale price of $59.95—comparable to a generic big-box rug. Made of 70% polypropylene and 30% polyester, it resists moisture, mold, and fading, and can be hosed clean or spot-cleaned with mild soap, though full drying is required to prevent mildew. Its indoor-outdoor rating allows it to transition from patio to living room seasonally, but care must be taken to blot rather than scrub to preserve the two textures.

Deep Research
What the two-texture design means for feel and durability
- While many outdoor rugs feature a low pile of 0.5 inches or less for quick drying, this rug's description as 'plush, generously soft pile' suggests a taller cut-pile component that prioritizes comfort — ideal for a poolside or balcony area where bare feet are the norm, and a deliberate departure from hard-wearing flatweaves.
- The polypropylene and polyester fibers are inherently non-absorptive and resist mold, so the two-texture rug dries quickly and retains its dimensional checkerboard without musty odors — a key advantage over natural-fiber outdoor rugs that can rot or fade in damp conditions.
How it stacks up against other checkerboard rugs on price
- Priced at $59.95 CAD on sale against a $140 CAD regular tag, the rug sheds 57% of its original cost — a discount deep enough to bring a designer-exclusive Simons Maison piece into the same price tier as generic big-box outdoor rugs, making it a low-risk entry point into a curated home aesthetic for a 4x6 ft space.
- Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, this rug transitions from patio to living room across seasons — a versatility the brand's indoor-only wool checkerboard rug cannot match, effectively delivering two rugs' worth of utility for a single $60 purchase.

Q&A
1 answered- What are the recommended cleaning methods for this rug, especially for outdoor use?
- We recommend cleaning this polypropylene and polyester rug with a gentle approach: shake or vacuum loose dirt, then spot-clean with mild soap and water, blotting rather than scrubbing [1]. Avoid bleach, oxygen bleach, or harsh solvents, as they can damage the fibers [1]. For outdoor use, a garden hose with gentle water pressure works for rinsing, but be sure to dry the rug completely in a well-ventilated area to prevent mildew [2].
