![]() When it was done, I moved it into the dryer and was pleasantly surprised to find it completely dry after just one try.įresh and clean, the rug easily unrolled back onto the pad in its usual place in my living room. (Most rug sizes fit in standard washers, but take a look at the site to make sure your machine is large enough.) I added detergent and ran it on a normal cycle in cold water. It was easy to remove the rug cover from the pad when I pulled it off, and to my delight, it fit into my washing machine. The rug cover is thin and features one side of woven chenille and another made of soft fabric designed to cling to the rug pad.Īfter about two months of use that's included enduring foot traffic, pet hair, and food crumbs, it was time to see how the rug actually held up in the washing machine and dryer. Inside, I found my new rug and non-slip rug pad neatly rolled up. The rug arrived in a tall, narrow box that was lightweight enough for me to carry up my apartment building's stairs on my own. After the brand sent me the Persian-inspired distressed rug I picked out, I understood what all the fuss was about. I write about home products for a living, so I'd been familiar with the brand for some time and was eager to see how the material that can safely go in the washer and dryer looked and felt in real life. I've been testing one of Ruggable's popular machine-washable rugs for the last two months, and it is every bit as stylish and convenient as advertised. For example, I recently had an impromptu gathering with a group of friends, and when one asked if his dog could come inside, I said, "Of course," knowing I could toss my living room rug in the washing machine just as soon as everyone cleared out. Doing so requires low-maintenance decor that I can easily clean. I enjoy keeping a tidy home, but I also like hosting guests, which means I have to balance my desire to have a spotless space with my urge to make people feel comfortable and relaxed in my apartment.
