Product Insights
The Grey Checkers Ivory Rug by Simons Maison delivers a calm, contemporary checker pattern that is modern rather than retro, with the 160×230 cm size keeping the grid legible and the 200×270 cm size reading as subtle texture. Its short, firm polyester-polypropylene pile resists fading and stains while feeling more like a flatweave than a plush carpet, but the same material carries caveats: polyester holds moisture and can mildew if heavily saturated, and the polypropylene half tends to build static and attract pet hair. The rug has no non-slip backing, so it requires a separate rug pad on hard floors to prevent movement and edge curling, and spot cleaning with mild detergent is the safest maintenance route.
Verified claims
- Pattern effect
- Low-contrast ivory-and-light-grey checkerboard reads calm and modern, not loud retro.
- Size options
- 160×230 cm keeps the grid visible at ~53.80 CAD/m²; 200×270 cm reads as texture at ~51.48 CAD/m²
- Stain resistance
- 50/50 polyester-polypropylene pile makes spills bead, but heavy saturation can lead to mildew
- Fade resistance
- The 50/50 polyester-polypropylene blend resists fading in sunlit rooms, preserving the ivory-grey contrast.
- Moisture handling
- Once liquid penetrates the pile, the polyester in the blend holds moisture and can mildew.
- Cleaning
- The rug is not described as machine washable; spot cleaning with a mild detergent is the recommended care method.
- Pet hair
- The polypropylene half of the pile can build static and pick up pet hair or lint more readily than other synthetic rug fibers.
- Variant list price
- 198 CAD is the price for the 160×230 cm rug; the 200×270 cm size costs 278 CAD.
- Coverage per m²
- 200×270 cm: 5.40 m² at 51.48 CAD/m²; 160×230 cm: 3.68 m² at 53.80 CAD/m².
- Underfoot feel
- Short, textured pile with a soft finish feels low and fairly firm underfoot — closer to a flatweave than plush.
- Edge finish
- The edges are finished with a narrow cut fringe rather than a serged or bound border; available customer reviews do not report fraying or curling.
- Safety
- The rug has no non-slip backing, so a rug pad is recommended on hard floors.
- Large-format look
- The 200×270 cm size reads as texture; the 160×230 cm size keeps the checker graphic.
- Stain resistance
- Spills bead on the 50/50 polyester-polypropylene surface so they can be blotted away; the rug does not rely on a separate stain-resistant finish.
- High-traffic durability
- The polyester-polypropylene blend is generally durable enough for moderate to high traffic and tends to shed less than wool rugs.
- Ivory undertone
- The ivory in this checkerboard is described as a warm ivory tone rather than a cool one, though monitor settings can shift perception.
- Vacuum care
- Vacuum with the suction feature only and avoid the rotating brush; the beater bar on most upright vacuums can fuzz and pill the textured synthetic pile.
- Oil-based stains
- Oil-based soils like cooking grease, salad dressing, cosmetics, and hand cream bond to the polypropylene fibers and need a drop of dish soap or a degreaser worked in gently before the mild-soap wipe.
- Initial odor
- This polyester/polypropylene blend can give off a mild 'new rug' odor from manufacturing and packaging; it typically fades within a few days once unrolled in a well-ventilated area.
- Pet claws
- A textured synthetic pile is more snag-prone than a tight flatweave, so pet claws can occasionally catch and pull fibers; trim pulls flush and keep claws trimmed, and use a rug pad to reduce risk.
