Choosing recycled polyester rugs

Recycled polyester rugs are made from yarn spun from recycled plastic, typically PET bottles, giving waste plastic a second use. They behave much like standard polyester: soft, colourfast and resistant to water-based spills. Some designs carry certification, which is listed on the product page where it applies.

Is 120 x 170 cm the right size?

A 120 x 170 cm rug measures roughly 3 ft 11 in by 5 ft 7 in and covers about 2.0 square metres. In a living room, a common guideline is to leave 30 to 60 cm of floor between the rug and the walls, which suggests a room of roughly 1.8 x 2.3 m to 2.4 x 2.9 m. Its 170 cm length sits comfortably in front of a sofa up to about 140 cm wide (allowing about 15 cm of rug beyond each end). It is generally too small to sit under a dining table with the chairs, which needs about 60 cm of rug beyond the table on every side.

Care and cleaning

The care instructions given by the makers of these rugs include: "specialist dry clean recommended, avoid rubbing spills" (5 designs); "best suited to low to medium traffic areas, use a rug grip on smooth flooring" (1 design). Vacuum regularly, ideally with a suction-only head or with the beater bar raised for deeper piles, and blot spills straight away from the outside in rather than rubbing. Always follow the care label on the product page, and test any cleaner on a hidden corner first. Some designs carry certification, which is listed on the product page where it applies.
