What makes our rugs machine washable?

A lot of rug materials require special care to stay fresh, clean and in good condition. Some need to be spot-cleaned only, others can’t get wet, and others need to be taken to an experienced dry cleaner to survive the cleaning process unscathed.

Rugs in homes with pets and kids need to be cleaned more often than the average household. Likewise, homeowners on a tight schedule can find it difficult to be careful in cleaning their rugs or finding time to take them to the dry cleaner.

Our machine washable rugs are the perfect solution for all families and households! Made from 80% recycled cotton, our washable rugs are all-natural, durable and easy to care for, making them perfect for high-traffic areas, kids’ playrooms, kitchen and dining room areas, and homes with pets.

Use a gentle cycle in the washing machine and a mild soap or detergent to clean out all the dust, dirt and debris. Avoid drying your rug in the dryer — this can cause your rug to shrink. Instead, lay it out in the sunshine and let nature do its thing!

What are the benefits of a machine-washable cotton rug?

Aside from being machine washable, our cotton rugs come with many other attractive benefits — read on to find out why you need a machine-washable cotton rug in your home!

• They’re environmentally friendly. Cotton is a sustainable and environmentally friendly material sourced from the cotton plant. Its strong, soft texture is effective at holding dyes and can often be blended with other natural materials like wool. Our machine-washable rugs are also made from 80% recycled cotton, so you can tread the halls without feeling a pinch of guilt.
• They’re easier to clean than other types of rugs. Cotton is long-lasting and comes with very few challenges in terms of cleaning. All you need to do is spot-clean spills and stains as they happen or throw your washable rug into the washing machine on a gentle cycle with some mild detergent.
   
• They’re available in a variety of different designs. Because cotton is absorbent, it’s excellent at retaining dyes… which means there will always be an incredible range of colours and patterns to choose from! From vibrant pinks, oranges and reds to cool blues, greens and purples, cotton rugs are available in plenty of stunning patterns, so you can find the perfect style to suit the interior design of your home. 
   
• They’re generally more affordable than other rugs. Cotton isn’t too expensive to produce, and many processes involved in treating, dying and preparing cotton are cheap to perform. With this in mind, cotton rugs are some of the most affordable on the market and don’t come with the “mass-produced” feeling other rugs sometimes have.

Where is the best place to put a machine washable rug?

Our machine washable rugs are so durable that you can place them almost anywhere in your home! Of course, it would be a shame not to take advantage of a washable rug and decorate a room that’s often too busy, messy or dirty for a traditional rug. Here are a few ideas for placing a washable rug in your home.

• Entry hallway — Your entry hallway is one of the highest traffic areas in your home. You, your family and your guests tread mud, dirt, dust and debris through this area daily, but one of our washable cotton rugs can handle the punishment! With a low cotton pile and durable qualities, a washable cotton rug can be thrown in the wash on a gentle cycle for a thorough clean.
   
• Mudroom — Like the entry hallway, the mudroom is often where dust, dirt and debris tend to enter the home, so this is another great spot to place a washable cotton rug. This area is usually located near the front or rear entrance of your home or potentially between the garage and the main house. It can also sometimes be combined with the laundry room.
   
• Dining room — The dining room floor is always at risk of spills and dropped food, so why not protect the main floor with a durable, washable rug? Just remember to spot clean spills and stains as they happen, and give the rug a gentle wash every now and then to clean out the debris that didn’t get caught during spot cleaning.
  
  We have a huge range of versatile shapes and sizes available for any space in your home, so you can find the perfect size for your dining room furniture. 
   
• Kids’ playroom or nursery — The playroom is where all the action happens from painting and drawing to snacking and playing with playdough… it’s no wonder the floors are always a mess in this room! A washable rug will do a world of good in a child’s playroom, bedroom or nursery.

   Wherever you place your new rug, we recommend adding a rug pad to your order to ensure your rug doesn’t slip, slide or get misaligned. Rug pads are a must-have for high traffic rooms in your home and are great for kids, as they reduce the risk of your little ones tripping or slipping when running across the rug. To add a rug pad to your order, simply click ‘Select Pad’ and choose the right size for your rug before adding to cart.

FAQs about our washable rugs

• How do I care for a washable rug?
  
  Caring for a washable rug is easy. Machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, and then air dry it in the sunshine. That’s it!
   
• How often should I wash my rug?
  
  We recommend washing your rug at least once a month or as needed. Simply place it in your home machine and dry it in the sunshine — it’s that easy! 
   
• Can I put my machine washable rug in the dryer?
  
  Yes, you can put your machine washable rug in the dryer. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the care label. Most machine washable rugs are safe to tumble dry on a low setting. However, we generally recommend letting your rug air dry in the sunshine to avoid the risk of shrinkage.
   
• What should I do if my rug gets stained?
  
  If your rug gets stained, it is important to act quickly. The sooner you treat the stain, the better the chances of removing it successfully. First, blot the stain with a clean, dry cloth to remove as much of the spill as possible. Then, use a mild detergent and warm water to gently scrub the stain. Finally, rinse the area with clean water and allow the rug to air dry.
  
  Our machine washable rugs are highly durable and more stain resistant than natural fibres like jute, so your rug won’t be warped or damaged by liquid stains. This makes them a great choice for high-traffic areas like living rooms and hallways!

  There are a few things to remember when washing your machine washable rug:
  
  - Use a mild detergent and cold water setting on your washing machine.
