Are Nylon Rugs Soft?

Yes! 

Not only are nylon rugs highly durable—which makes them great for areas with heavy foot-traffic—they’re also incredibly soft! (So soft that we can almost guarantee your pet will love your new nylon rug.) Nylon’s fibers are extremely resilient, which helps them bounce back from wear and tear, maintain their shape, and stay soft underfoot well into the future.

Are Nylon Rugs Easy to Clean?

Yes! 

Nylon rugs are as easy to clean as they are soft, which is to say … they’re pretty easy to clean! Although nylon is not machine-washable, nylon rugs are simple to spot-clean when the need arises. Otherwise, using quality fabric protectors and vacuuming your carpet regularly should prevent any major stains or damage from settling in.

Nylon’s synthetic fibers make these rugs resistant to stains, so you can rest assured that wine night, a kid’s birthday party, or the new office puppy running around won’t turn your dream design into a dreadful disaster. Check out our how to clean nylon rugs page.

Are Nylon Rugs Durable?

Yes! 

Nylon is the most common carpet available on the market today, largely because of its durability. With hundreds of visitors piling in and out of their spaces each day, restaurant, hotel, and other commercial property owners love nylon because it can stand up to heavy foot traffic.

In addition to resisting stains, abrasion, and hundreds of footsteps, because nylon carpet is solution-dyed, color from spills and stains soaks into all of your carpet’s fibers, rather than sitting on top. This helps preserve the shape, color, texture, and vibrance of your nylon rug.
