You get that sick feeling knowing that it’s about to ruin that new rug you just paid a fortune for. Even if you don’t have klutzy friends, you might have a pet and know that all kinds of accidents can and do happen. When my little rescue pup dealt with some stomach issues, and then got a new puppy, my old living room rug bore the brunt of it. Out it went and we kept bare floors for a while. Until I heard about a rug called Ruggable. • What is Ruggable? • For those who haven’t seen it come up in their Instagram feeds, Ruggable, is a special type of two-layer, washable rug. When I read about it I was beyond curious… could there really be a run that would fit in the washer and not get ruined? I broke down and bought one to find out. • My 6’ x9’ rug (the pattern is called Diamond Dahlia) in my living room cost about $405CAD; it comes in two layers; a rubberized no-skid underpad and the soft top rug layer which is the washable part. • While there’s no real carpet pile to these rugs, they’re similar enough to the texture of fabric or rag rugs. The top layer is thin but not cheaply so. Coupled with the underlayer, it feels like a sturdy carpet underfoot. • Installing Ruggable • Ruggable takes great pride in what it calls its Cling Effect technology, which lets you detach and reattach the rug cover to the rug pad. It’s kind of like a looser Velcro; but it holds it in place really well. Because you can adjust it, you can get a nice smooth top layer of the rug with no bumps or wrinkles. • I got my rug installed easily enough; you’ll roll out the underlayer which is made of the same latex-free material that you find in yoga mats, and then roll the carpet over top. It does require a bit of finessing to line it up and get it flat and even, but when it was down I was really pleased with it. More so when a coffee got splashed on it. I pulled up the top layer, bundled it into the washing machine and let ‘er rip. • Washing Instructions for Ruggable Rugs • Ruggable recommends washing your Rug Cover in cold water using mild and non-bleach detergent. You can then dry the Rug Cover in the dryer on low heat. Avoid high heat. The Rug Cover can also be hung and air-dried if necessary. • For non-major spills you can spot clean the rug. Your Ruggable Rug Cover is stain-resistant and contains an internal waterproof barrier. You can spot-clean or machine-wash it depending on the accident type. For major stains or accidents, we recommend washing your Rug Cover immediately. • • Stain testing • I mentioned earlier that I splashed some coffee on the rug; that I spot cleaned with soap and water and it easily camer out. My sick little dog also had her way with the rug, so it was time to wash it. The rug top easily pulls off the underpad and the 6x9 rug also went easily into the washer, and ruggable says even the 8x10 rug will fit in most standard size washers. • I followed Ruggable’s washing instructions – cold water and low dry—and was amazed that the rug was clean, dry, hadn’t shrunk and went back together easily. • But you probably want to see for yourself how it cleans up, so at the risk of ruining my Ruggabel for my YouTube audience – here goes! • Coffee and red wine; for experiment’s sake, I left the coffee to soak in but spot mopped the wine. Then it was into the washer… • I was pretty thrilled to see that both stains had completely vanished without a trace. Even a rusty mark left by my table sitting in the coffee for a bit was gone. I rolled the rug back out and it was like those spills had never happened. • Overall I have to say I’ve been wowed by my Ruggable rug; it’s durable and soft underfoot. The pattern I chose looks great in my house, and the washability of Ruggables is as good as they say it is. I was so pleased with my living room rug that I bought two more a month later; one for the front door and one for the back. And I’m now looking at getting one of Ruggable’s new shag rugs for my home office. • In short, I have nothing but good things to report about Ruggable so I can recommend them to you for your busy but chic home too.
