Construction varies: many geometric accent rugs are machine-made (woven, knitted, or loomed), while some are handmade or handwoven.
Care depends on the rug: follow the product label first. Many geometric accent rugs can be vacuumed regularly, some are machine-washable on a gentle cycle, and others require spot or wipe cleaning. For high-pile rugs use gentler vacuum settings and follow any manufacturer instructions to avoid damage.
Geometric accent rugs are shown for many indoor spaces—commonly living rooms, bedrooms, entryways and hallways—and are also listed for dining rooms, kitchens, nurseries, offices and playrooms.
Machine-washable rugs are typically made from washable fabrics, are tightly woven or foldable, and often have reinforced edges; listings will specify machine wash on a gentle cycle if permitted.
Geometric accent rugs commonly use synthetic fibers such as polyester and polypropylene, and some styles or blends include natural fibers like cotton, wool and jute.
Common pile heights include flat pile, low pile (under about 0.5") and high pile (over about 1"); many accent rugs are flat or low pile, while some area rugs use higher piles.
