Washable Rugs: Why You Need Them and the Best Ones to Get

May 26, 2021

It always happens like this: You spend days, weeks, probably even months searching for the best rug for your living room, kitchen, or bedroom. You finally find the right size, color, and pattern you and your partner can agree on. You place the rug neatly on your floor and start buying furniture and decor pieces that match it. Everything is finally perfect, and then—splat!—your cute little two-year-old decides it looks way nicer with spaghetti sauce on it. Fun times, right?

Well, fret no more. Thanks to washable rugs, you can elevate the look and feel of your space—without the hassles of strenuous scrubbing, expensive professional cleaning, and adding more rugs in landfills. Usually made of durable and lightweight materials, washable area rugs and runners are basically rugs you can just wash in your home washing machine—no special tools or professional skills necessary.

Some people might call washable rugs nice-to-haves, but for most of us, they’re lifesavers! If you’re still debating whether you need them or not, here are just a few reasons washable rugs are good investments for your home. Plus, keep scrolling to see the best washable rugs on Ruggable according to our customers.

Why You Need a Washable Rug

1. Washable rugs are kid-friendly.

SHOP THIS RUG

We’ve heard people say they’ve long given up on buying rugs for their homes after they’ve had kids. Others just create no-kids-allowed zones in their houses. We at Ruggable believe you don’t need to sacrifice style for practicality. That’s why we made our rugs stain-resistant, water-resistant, and of course, machine-washable—ideal for kid-friendly areas of your homes where spills, stains, and accidents are inevitable.

2. Washable rugs are pet-friendly.

SHOP THIS RUG

If you have furry friends at home, then you’re familiar with that distinct pet odor that tends to linger in your rug. Pets are also notorious for leaving their marks everywhere—from muddy paws to pet accidents—which can stain your rug.

While this is normal, this shouldn’t stop you from having rugs in your home. That’s the beauty of having a pet-friendly rug that’s washable and resistant to stains. What’s more, our Rug Covers have a water-resistant barrier that prevents liquid from seeping through, protecting your floors. 

3. Washable rugs are better for people with allergies.

SHOP THIS RUG

Let’s face it: carpets and high-pile rugs are hotbeds for allergens. They collect dust, dust mites, pet dander, pollen, microscopic insect parts, and who knows what else. Some people are more tolerant to these environmental irritants, but if you’re allergic or sensitive to these substances, you’re probably better off with a lower-pile rug that you can also wash as often as needed.

4. Washable rugs are ideal for high-traffic areas that easily get dirty.

SHOP THIS RUG

Whether it’s the entryway, mudroom, kitchen, or living room that opens out to the patio or backyard, we all have those high-traffic spaces that tend to get dirty faster than others. For these spaces, you’d need washable rugs, which are more resilient to muddy shoes and paws. Of course, you can always ask people to take their shoes off before coming in, but just in case they don’t, at least you have a backup plan.

5. Washable rugs are ideal for home decor styles that require white or light-colored decor elements.

SHOP THIS RUG

Modern farmhouse, California coastal chic, modern desert, Scandi—some of today’s hottest home decor styles feature an all-white motif. But as bright and gorgeous as they look, lighter-colored rugs, like white, cream, ivory, or beige rugs, are harder to maintain and keep clean. A washable rug will at least let you enjoy these styles more conveniently.

6. Washable rugs are less expensive in the long run.

SHOP THIS RUG

Most experts recommend getting your rugs or carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year. According to Fixr.com, most professional rug cleaning companies charge $2 to $5 per square foot, which means a standard 8’x10′ rug would cost $160 to $400 to clean. That’s up to $4,000 in 10 years. And this is if you can stand not washing your rug for an entire year!

Renting the rug cleaner from stores would be cheaper, costing you about $30 to $60 a day. Still, wouldn’t it be nice if you could just stick your rug into your washer and dryer and call it a day?

7. Washable rugs are easier on the planet.

SHOP THIS RUG

Aside from the additional savings you get from not having to buy rugs frequently, having a washable rug that you can use and re-use for a long time is just better for the planet. Those stained rugs we once threw away are still taking up space in landfills because they don’t biodegrade easily.

So, I’ve purchased three and love them, and I may purchase a 4th. A friend asked about the padding for support in the kitchen where this a lot of standing. Wondering if one day you might consider the OPTION of a thicker pad for such places. Just a suggestion.

There is an important eighth reason: Safety. These rugs are secure; they do not slip; and they can go where other rugs cannot, like a bathroom. That was my introduction to Ruggable. I had seen them advertised on Facebook, and when I slipped on a miniscule amount of water in my bathroom and bashed my head on a corner, I ordered three as soon as I got out of the hospital. I now have them in the kitchen and by the front door. I love the selection, and can hardly wait to buy more to rotate some looks.

    I have two little pups that get so excited sometimes that they pee. Nothing has worked to clean the smell out of my previous rugs, no matter how many “guaranteed” products that I’ve tried, I’ve had to throw every rug away. Please explain how your rugs are different and if 100% of the stain and smell is eliminated. Thank you!

      Hey, Patrice! We would be happy to tell you a bit more about our product as well as ways to address pet accidents.

      Our woven covers are 100% polyester (the top of the cover is made of woven polyester chenille style yarn and the bottom is a polyester knit). The two layers of fabric are bonded together and made of 100% polyester. This makes it possible to recycle the cover because it is all made of the same synthetic material. Another interesting note about polyester is that the fiber does not absorb liquid. Yes, liquid will be absorbed in between the fibers but not within the fiber. This is why stains and odors wash out so easily!

      Our Rug Cover is also made with an interior water-resistant barrier, which keeps liquid from seeping through and dripping onto the Rug Pad and your floor.

      In regards to pet accidents, for best results we recommend washing the rug immediately after an accident. We received feedback that if not treated right away, the odor from pet urine can still linger even after a wash. Customers have found success removing the smell with a vinegar wash. You may also go to your local pet store for cleaners that might help remove the odor but please make sure they do not contain bleach or chlorine!

      If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us at support@ruggable.com.😊

    Great question! Our Ruggable two-piece Rug System works best on hard surfaces. While many customers successfully use Ruggable Rug Systems on carpeted floors, carpeting reduces the effectiveness of its grip.

    Customers who have placed their Rug System on carpeted floors have seen the best results when the rug is anchored with a sofa or heavy table.

    Additionally, we do not recommend using the Rug Cover without a Rug Pad as they were intended to used together and not doing so can lead to issues with the grip and/or bunching!

    Great question, Maria! And thank you for your interest in Ruggable. 😊

    Ruggable rugs can be great in an entryway/mud room. However, the rugs are not designed to withstand large amounts of water, mud, salt and snow. In moderate conditions, our low-pile design makes it easy to clean the rug cover in a washing machine!

    If you plan to use a Ruggable rug in the entryway, we recommend sticking to some of our darker designs.

    Hi, Debbie! We typically do not recommend using a Ruggable Rug System over the carpet. Our Rugs are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with our non-slip Rug Pad that grips on hard surfaces. Placing Ruggable Rug Systems directly over the carpet may cause a tripping hazard and also carpeting reduces the effectiveness of its grip.

    However, customers who have placed their Rug System on carpeted floors have seen the best results when the rug is anchored with a sofa or heavy table and away from heavy traffic areas. Please also note that we do not recommend using only the Rug Cover on top of carpeted floors!

    Of course, Kerry! We would be more than happy to offer assistance. (:

    To thoroughly clean the Rug Pad, remove all solids from the surface and saturate the Rug Pad in warm soapy water. Then, rinse with clean water, and hang to dry. You can use any household disinfectant that does not contain bleach. Please avoid washing in a washing machine as that could tear the rug pad.

    For best results, we recommend washing the rug immediately after an accident. We received feedback that if not treated right away, the odor from pet urine can still linger even after a wash. Customers have found success removing the smell with a vinegar wash. You may also go to your local pet store for cleaners that might help remove the odor but please make sure they do not contain bleach or chlorine.

    Great question, Thomas! The Rug Cover, once removed from the underlying Rug Pad, can fit comfortably in a standard or large capacity top or front load washer (with or without an agitator). For the 9’x12′ size in particular, a 4.2+cubic ft. size washer is required (this includes and agitator, without an agitator a 3.8+ cu. ft. size will accommodate as well!).

    To make sure your washer is compatible with various sizes/styles, please feel free to visit the following link: https://myruggable.com/washing-machine-guide

    As for pet accidents, our Rug Cover is made with an interior water-resistant barrier, which keeps liquid from seeping through and dripping onto the Rug Pad and your floor. Additionally, vinegar washes/spot cleaning are great ways to help remove lingering smells! You can also use store bought products that can help address these issues and while we do not suggest any specific type or brand, please be sure they do not contain bleach or chlorine prior to use.

    Hi, Dorothy! For best results, machine-wash your Rug Covers cold using a mild, non-bleach detergent and with the design side facing outwards. Dry it on low heat, or hang and air-dry if needed. Please feel free to reach out if there is anything else we can do to help.

Hi, Thomas! All of our rugs are designed with home washing machines in mind.

As for the Rug Pad, while the Rug Pad (bottom layer) is not machine-washable itself, it can still be cleaned. For wet messes, spot-clean the area with soap and water using a washcloth or towel, then allow the Pad to dry laying flat. Customers have found success removing the smell with a vinegar wash/rinse. You may also go to your local pet store for cleaners that might help remove the odor but please make sure they do not contain bleach or chlorine. 😊

Are there other designs/colors that are not shown in this ad? Those listed just aren’t my style.

Does sunlight fade your rugs?

    Hi, Roseann! If your rug is going to be exposed to a lot sunlight, especially direct sunlight, our Outdoor Rugs would work best. Our Outdoor Rug Cover is built with UV-resistance in mind, but prolonged exposure to the sun will cause fading over time.

    To minimize fading, keep it in a screened or covered area, clean it on a regular basis, and bring it indoors for the winter season. Non-Outdoor Rugs may not hold up as well as they are not made with UV-resistance in mind and can fade faster if put in the same conditions as Outdoor Rugs.

    We hope this helps!

I have a truly disreputable wall to wall carpet in my den. I can’t pull it up but was wondering if I could put an 8×10 on top of the worse worn area or will it “walk” all the time? What do you suggest?

    Hi there, Suzanne. We typically do not recommend using a Ruggable Rug System over the carpet. Our rugs are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with our non-slip rug pad that grips on hard surfaces. Placing Ruggable Rug Systems directly over the carpet may cause a tripping hazard and also carpeting reduces the effectiveness of its grip.

    However, customers who have placed their Rug System on carpeted floors have seen the best results when the rug is anchored with a sofa or heavy table and away from heavy traffic areas.

    With that said, we do not recommend using only the Rug Cover on top of carpeted floors. Be sure you are always using a Rug Cover and Rug Pad in conjunction with one another!

    We hope this information is helpful in deciding if Ruggable would be a good fit for your home.😊
