Why Choose a Washable Rug?

Washable rugs are a simple way to make everyday living feel easier. Designed to handle the realities of busy homes, they offer a practical solution without sacrificing style. Spills, muddy footprints, and everyday dirt are far less stressful when your rug can be refreshed in the washing machine, saving time and effort on cleaning. 

From kitchens and hallways to living rooms and playrooms, washable rugs work perfectly in high-traffic areas. With a wide choice of colours, patterns, and sizes available, it’s easy to find a design that suits your space and style.

Washable Kitchen Rugs 

Washable runner rugs are ideal for kitchens, where spills, splashes and crumbs are part of everyday life, making cleaning quick and stress-free. Kitchen spaces are often the busiest rooms in the home and can feel cold or purely practical, but a washable kitchen rug changes that. It adds warmth and style while standing up to everyday mess, so you can enjoy a more inviting kitchen without worrying about the clean-up.

Washable Door Mats

Washable door mats are a practical first layer of protection for busy homes, helping trap dirt and moisture before it spreads indoors. Easy to refresh in the washing machine, they keep your entrance clean and welcoming while saving time on regular upkeep.

How to Clean a Washable Rug – Step by Step

1. Check the care label for the recommended temperature and wash cycle.

2. Shake the rug outside, or give it a quick vacuum to remove loose dirt, crumbs and dust.

3. Place the rug in the washing machine, making sure it has enough space to move freely (especially larger rugs).

4. Wash on a gentle/delicate cycle using cool or low-temperature water.

5. Use a mild detergent, and avoid bleach or fabric softener.

6. Dry by air drying flat, or tumble dry on a low setting only if the care label allows it.

7. Once fully dry, lay it flat and smooth out any creases before putting it back in place.

Washable Rugs FAQs

How often should I wash a washable rug?

This depends on use, but for busy family areas, washing every few weeks helps to keep everything fresh.

Can you tumble dry a machine-washable rug?

Some machine-washable rugs can be tumble-dried, but it’s important to check the care label first. If tumble drying is recommended, use a low heat setting to help protect the fibres and keep the rug looking its best. If not, air drying flat is the safest option.

What setting should I wash my washable rug on?

Most washable rugs should be washed on a gentle or delicate cycle using cool or low-temperature water. This helps maintain the rug’s shape, colour and finish, even with regular washing in busy family areas.

Do washable rugs shrink in the wash?

When washed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, quality washable rugs are designed to keep their shape.

Do washable rugs need a mat underneath?

A rug underlay isn’t essential, but it’s a great addition. It helps keep the rug in place, adds extra comfort, and can reduce wear in high-traffic family spaces.

Can I use a washable rug in the kitchen?

Absolutely. Washable kitchen rugs and runners are ideal for spills, splashes, and everyday mess.
