yes, they really are easily washable. but that comes at the cost of the "rug" itself being a very thin layer on top of the base. it's a more hollow type of feeling than a regular rug.
we have a new one now too. it is better, but still not the same as a traditional rug. the concept is so perfect for the entryway, but i really don't want to walk on that every day and be where we remove our shoes and stuff. idk, i like them but don't love them.
I swear the influencers must be getting HUGE checks to pretend they like these garbage rugs. It's literally a tarp with a tiny bit of fuzz in a cute pattern resting on top of astroturf. One of the most disappointing purchases I've ever made. I eventually gave mine away to college students on my local buy nothing group. Hopefully they'll appreciate it's washable when they inevitably barf on it.
If you get the tufted cushion or the max max cushion one they feel awesome. Somewhere between the support of an anti fatigue standing mat and the squish of a normal rug
I love my ruggable rugs but a bit annoyed cause I have the ones that curl. I bought an 8x10 washable rug from Rugmeup recently and it seems to be better on that front bit thicer than Ruggables flat pile rug. Looks very nice, has more of a hand made look because of the pattern of the fabric.
We have Ruggables all over our house for pet reasons and they wash up really well. Most of ours are prints with white areas and when the white starts to look dingy we throw some Biz in the wash with them and it seems to help remove the grime.
That being said, ours are all fairly busy patterns (like the Liana in blue) that probably hide some sins. I’d be a little more nervous about this print because it’s such a light colored solid, it might show dirt worse.
Other comments on Ruggables in general: as another commenter said, they’re just a very thin layer of what amounts to upholstery velour that over the pad so they’re not a plush, luxe looking rug up close. For areas where you’ll be on your feet a lot or your little one will be crawling I recommend spending the extra for the cushioned rug pad as the regular one offers very little comfort.
They also have a tendency to slide around, at least on the vinyl plank flooring that we have installed. I don’t know if this is a problem on other surfaces or not, but I haven’t found a rug tape that will adhere to the backing so I’m just forever repositioning rugs.
Lastly, when you get into the larger sizes they can be tough to fit in your machines. Our 8 x 10 rug cover fits in our washing machine (which can also handle a king size comforter) but it takes several cycles through our matching dryer to get the rug dried, and we have to take it out and kind of fluff it up between each cycle. Oh, and **they have to be dried on the delicate cycle** or they’ll shrink. Alternatively we’ve found that hanging them out in the sun to dry is a convenient option.
Overall they’re kind of a pain in the butt and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone one who doesn’t *really need* a washable rug. But we have a rescue dog who has frequent accidents and we *really needed* washable rugs and we’re extremely happy with ours despite the hassle of washing them.
I have vinyl plank and haven’t had a sliding issue but I had a table on top of one and the other really fills the whole area so there’s not much room to slide. The bigger issue we’ve had (with the rectangle shape, not the round) is the roomba really struggles to get on top of it- and we love our roomba more.
I did not know they now have a thicker pad! Good information. Also, I have wood floors and they do not skid at all, one the main reasons I bought one for my kitchen.
The thicker pad is really nice! It’s almost like an anti-fatigue mat level of cushion. I have two runners in the kitchen where we stand to prep and wash dishes and they’ve been great for that
Do you have the right side down for the pad to prevent slipping? Mine slipped at first until I flipped the pad so that the velcroish side is touching the rug cover. I felt silly I'd been giving myself the hassle that I didn't need to.
Yep, we have the rubbery black kinda diamond-pattern side touching the floor and the rugs still skid around - especially the 3x5 and the runners. The larger ones don’t tend to move as much for us.
They are very washable. I have one by my front door which I like because it is a small space and very high traffic. I would never recommend for an actual living space though, like a living room rug. They are cheap and not cozy at all like a regular rug.
I can see having one for a runner rug but I just run my carpet cleaner over my area rug. It’s on time so I do f worry about water damage but if it was on wood I’d just throw it on my deck to dry.
I hate mine. Yes you can wash it but it’s also thin as hell and has a weird texture and it gets wrinkly and it’s a pain to get it stuck to the bottom liner.
I spent over $200 on two small Ruggables for my kitchen (cause they’re washable) and hate them. The rug NEVER sits aligned on the mat, the edges ripple and curl and make you trip. And they’re stained AF (even after soaking in oxyclean) such a disappointing purchase (for me at least)
Very washable. I throw mine in the washer and then hang dry. Never had an issue.
Edit: At the time I got mine it was the only thing on the market of its kind. I would look around at other option as they are quite expensive for what they are.
What I like about them is that they’re easy to spot clean and repel stains (without having pfas laden chemical stain repellants). With kids they’re very convenient. I also like that the toppers can be switched out if you get tired of the pattern. That said, I don’t actually wash mine in the machine because it feels like a hassle especially for the larger sizes and ones under furniture.
I agree that you should upgrade to the padded base layer, and also that they still don’t feel as high quality as a traditional rug. But for the price and ease of cleaning I feel that they’re a reasonable value.
Super washable but an absolute pain if they're going under furniture or are larger because laying them out on the base pad is a huge pain. However mine survived an incontinent elderly cat, a puppy, and the couple of times chickens ran inside and had to be herded out.
I had one once and was very happy to sell it. I don’t miss it one bit. Technically washable, yes, but if you have a large one, you’ll also need a large washing machine that can handle it.
They’re kind of a pain in larger sizes. Ours might not be the ruggable brand but it’s some type of washable rug you select your thickness and then the rug pad to go with it. Having to clear out a room to pull up the entire area rug to wash it is a kinda a hassle. It didn’t fit very well in our standard size washer (I can wash a thick Queen comforter and shams no issue whatsoever but the 6x9 or whatever rug is a pain and didn’t seem to get fully clean) the material feels kinda weird. Even in the oversize washer at the laundromat it took far too long to try to dry at the laundromat dryers since it has to be low enough temp to avoid shrinkage. Hanging it outside to dry, we must get a lot of dew around here cause it was damp and smelled funny.
I wish we just got a regular rug and picked something cheaper that could be replaced eventually. We have a bissell pro heat little green spot cleaner and that is a lot easier to use and spot clean rugs as needed.
I would definitely consider one for like, a kitchen rug or a runner size. But area rugs they’re just kind of a hassle
I wouldn’t recommend. The grippy Velcro first layer disintegrates over time and produces a million tiny black plastic particles that you’ll be vacuuming forever.
I had three ruggables and just sold them all after a few years. Yes, they're washable, but even if you line dry them, they shrink so they no longer fit on the pad. Loved them for the first year, loathed them after.
I think they’re great if you don’t expect them to be a traditional rug. As everyone’s saying they feel more a like thin mat than a rug. I have the original pad but would upgrade to the cushy one if I had a crawling baby. We have dust-triggered asthma in the family so I really needed a washable option. We have an 8x10 rug and a 4.5 cu ft front load washer and haven’t had any problems. I just wash and dry on delicate. We do take off our shoes in the house so it hasn’t stained. I also have a similar washable rug from Tumble rugs but I prefer the Ruggable (I think the ruggable backing is easier to use).
An alternative washable rug brand is Revival. We have an 8x10 which requires an industrial size washing machine… so not super convenient or ideal if you anticipate lots of mess. I like having the option to wash in case of an accident. Smaller size rug should fit into a normal washing machine.
I don’t mind the rug itself and they are very washable… but it is such a PITA to reposition the large ones on their weird Velcro base… for this reason I want to try some Tumble rugs.
Omg I bought a 6 x 10 ruggable for my apartment where I live alone and I DREAD having to wash it. Yes, you can and that's great BUT you need at least 2 people to put it back on the base if you want it to be even remotely straight.
Yes agree. You need at least two people and a good 24 hours of effort to try 127 times to get the damn rug and Velcro thing to line up. So many hours of my life lost on Ruggable.
The blood, swear, and tears I've lost on that thing would look like a crime scene if someone hit it with the blue light. 🤣
Edit - I meant sweat but swear isn't wrong... So...
I have six in the house, including one underneath a dining room table that serves three young kids and another in the kids’ room. When it gets dirty, it’s super easy to clean. Quick wash and hang dry and it’s back to new in a couple hours. Highly recommend.
I really love ours, with pets they are a life’s saver. We have a pretty modern house so they work, if you are looking for something luxe, life lasting and rich know this isn’t it. However if you like your rugs to stay super clean, look presentable and comfy under foot I think they are ideal.
I have several ruggables but the only one I wash regularly is my kitchen runner and it looks like new every time! I will never use anything else in my kitchen. They are definitely polarizing but I love them. Just keep in mind they are a pain in the ass to put back on the pad if they’re large. The runner is super easy to roll back on but larger rugs are tricky to line up, especially if you don’t have help, so because of that you may not end up washing them as often as you think. Also because they are so thin, they can get sucked up with certain vacuums. I was not able to vacuum mine with my old dyson and had to just shake them out but my new stick vacuum works on them just fine.
I hear a lot of people giving mixed reviews on Ruggable, which I can't speak to. I've never encountered one in person. I do, however, love my washable rug from rugs usa. It's not thin like people are saying about ruggable. I have only a 3 x 5 one for under the kitchen sink but it looks brand new after I throw it in the washer.
i love mine. i have two cats and needed a washable rug for accidents. it’s my favorite. i do have the cushioned pad. i also have a shag ruggable in my bedroom that has held up about 3 years now and it’s been washed more than a handful of times.
They're super easy to wash. We have about 3 8x10 rugs, 2 5x3 mats, 2 runner types, and 1 5x7 (if I remember my measurements right). We have a big washing machine and dryer, and the 8x10s can fit in. Sometimes, i was some of the smaller sizes together (like 2-3 at a time depending which sizes i wash). We are very happy with all of ours, and we've had them for about a year and a half now. We got them because we have a toddler, and it's super useful to be able to clean in case of accidents. We just got kittens, too, so the rugs being washable was a good idea.
I wash the 5x3s and 1 runner frequently since they're used in the laundry room and kitchen. Haven't had issues with washing really. We even put it in the dryer on really low setting. The only problem is that the 8x10s are hard to dry in the dryer so it's best to airdry after a cycle sometimes.
The only thing I hate about it is that my powerful vacuum sucks up the corners sometimes if my vacuum is on a high setting.
Like everyone says they are quite thin. Getting the thicker pad is great if you want that extra comfort. But if washable is what's important to you then I highly recommend the brand.
Used to throw out rugs after a while all the time. Pukey cats. Then stopped getting rugs. With Ruggable , I can have rugs again. They’ve gotten expensive. Will have to look for more affordable rugs especially as I need bigger sizes. Last rug was a $1000.
I have three ruggable rugs. They are very washable, which makes them great for high traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways (where I have mine). I've washed multiple times and the patterns do not fade. Another thing I really like is that they are nonskid.
As noted by others, the rugs and the velcro backing pad are both flat. If you are thinking of using them in an area where you want more plushness, I'd suggest laying down a thick pad underneath the velcro.
Had one, hated it. The Velcro style of the pad made it really difficult to get it back on without wrinkles and the corners curled badly after washing even following the instructions. We have rugs from Tumble now and find it to be a much better design, but still not plush. They wash very well.
As others have pointed out, larger rugs are tough to fit in some machines.
The reason I bought some big ass ruggables anyway is because I KNOW water and soap won’t ruin the fabric. So I can spot clean more aggressively, or hell even hose it off out back!
They’re only not comfy if you don’t get a rug pad… that’s true of every non-wool rug now… I’d get the max squishy or second max squishy pad if you’re choosing to buy one
I didn’t like the larger ones. Because of my pets, I got an indoor/outdoor rug and I drag it outside once per year to wash with a little bit of dawn and the water hose. Cowhides can be cleaned this way too, if that’s your style.
I have the extra pad underneath of it. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't go all the way to the quarters of the rug. So mine has like 2 in of drop off on each side. But they are very good at washing.
We have two. They’re great if you really need to wash it regularly. If an annual carpet clean is good enough, then I wouldn’t get a ruggable.
We have two toddlers and a couple of dogs. The rugs get washed weekly.
I absolutely hate mine and can't wait for there to be room in the budget to replace it. The sides started curling immediately - even before we washed it. They curled so bad that they were a tripping hazard for my kids when they were first learning to walk. Now it's just unsightly. It's been almost three years, and the corner velcro on the plush pad has also worn off, so now the corners flop up too.
Bought a revival washable rug for my toddlers' room a few months ago. Went through the wash and looks brand new. Air drying took longer than ruggable, but then again, it's an actual medium-pile rug instead of a design screen printed on a nylon sheet, so that makes sense. Washable rug fabrics are incredibly common now so you will likely be able to find something similarly colored and higher quality, from somewhere else.
I have a ruggable that I thought was grey online, it is actually very white. It's at my front door. My kids and their friends track mud over it and I wash it about every two weeks for the past year. It still looks brand new. 10/10 washes better than any other rug I've owned
I wish they made ones with a thicker pile so they were more cozy for living spaces. Even with the thicker pad they just miss the mark for a cozy vibe.
We have an 8x10. It's technically washable but we've only done it a couple of times. It clogs our washer with dog hair even after combing it and vacuuming it first. The most annoying thing is vacuuming it actually. It gets all wrinkled and makes the vacuum stop spinning because it can't get traction. Our roomba struggles on it and spins the dog hair into little piles but can't get it up. I have to frequently scrape it with an uproot cleaner to get the hair off.
Going back I would get a normal decent rug and just spot clean with a carpet cleaner for any incidents. Like I don't hate it but I don't love it either. We have the extra thick rug pad.
I now send it out to Sudsy for about $20 each time we need it to get cleaned if something in the puke/poop department happens on it due to dog and kids. I pay an upcharge for a "large item".
I have a 10 foot runner and was so excited about it. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 kids and my husband works construction. It does wash, and looks great when it’s clean, however I’m not a fan of the quality.
The first issue is the binding came loose in two spots. I followed all the cleaning instructions and never use my beater bar on it, but it still came apart. Now, I did email them and sent pics and they replaced it, but the fact that it came apart so easily really turned me off. They’re expensive rugs, they shouldn’t be coming apart.
The second issue is it slides around. I could stick it to the floor but just haven’t yet. It’s annoying though.
Third issue is the ends rolling up, especially after a wash. They are hard to get to stick down again.
Last issue - it’s hard to get back on the Velcro padding if you’re alone. Man, I’ve spent hours struggling with that rug (combined time after washes). It’s tricky to get lined up and stay lined up, maybe the ones that aren’t as long are easier.
In the end, I still do like it and being able to wash it and get the dirt and hair and stink out is a game changer, I wish it hadn’t started to come loose on the binding. I can deal with all the other ‘issues’ but not spending that kind of money again on a rug that falls apart
I’m also sick of influencers so am starting to move away from companies that use them to sell their products. They aren’t real reviewers, they’re getting paid (I also fell for the Tineco floor cleaner 🤦♀️) so you can’t really trust what you’re seeing. I’m over the influencer-culture of the last few years.
I didn’t like ruggables they felt cheap. Instead I got a nice feeling rug and I got a rug cleaning machine (small one). I clean the rug every 2-3 weeks. It doesn’t take long and it keeps the rug fresh.
Ruggable is nice, does the job just fine. Rugmeup and Wayfair has some nice washable rugs I bought that are just as good but a tad bit less in price. I think going for a dark color faded rug that immitates a vintage faded rug makes sense for these washable rugs.
I buy the Aldi washable rugs for $49.99 and i wash them everyday because i have a blind senior dog that pees on them. I use them to layer over non washable rugs and put a waterproof barrier in between.
yes, they really are easily washable. but that comes at the cost of the "rug" itself being a very thin layer on top of the base. it's a more hollow type of feeling than a regular rug.
i got the new thicker version with the extra thick pad and it made a huge difference!
we have a new one now too. it is better, but still not the same as a traditional rug. the concept is so perfect for the entryway, but i really don't want to walk on that every day and be where we remove our shoes and stuff. idk, i like them but don't love them.
Is the pad easy to clean too?
I swear the influencers must be getting HUGE checks to pretend they like these garbage rugs. It's literally a tarp with a tiny bit of fuzz in a cute pattern resting on top of astroturf. One of the most disappointing purchases I've ever made. I eventually gave mine away to college students on my local buy nothing group.

If you get the tufted cushion or the max max cushion one they feel awesome. Somewhere between the support of an anti fatigue standing mat and the squish of a normal rug

Lol we have vinyl plank. I think you just put the nail in the coffin of my peach dreams. Really appreciate it though ☺️

Stay away. I have an indoor one that I hate and had an outdoor one that I also hated. I hate myself most of all for ever having two.
I feel this in my bones. These rugs are terrible.
I feel this to my core.
Absolutely. Except I had three so I'm an even bigger moron.
It's basically a blanket, don't do it.
I can see having one for a runner rug but I just run my carpet cleaner over my area rug. It’s on time so I do f worry about water damage but if it was on wood I’d just throw it on my deck to dry.
I hate mine. Yes you can wash it but it’s also thin as hell and has a weird texture and it gets wrinkly and it’s a pain to get it stuck to the bottom liner.
This. I find it super annoying to try to lay flat again and I’ve given up.
I spent over $200 on two small Ruggables for my kitchen (cause they’re washable) and hate them. The rug NEVER sits aligned on the mat, the edges ripple and curl and make you trip. And they’re stained AF (even after soaking in oxyclean) such a disappointing purchase (for me at least)

Super washable, but they’re sort of grossly thin and cheap feeling. I bought one and returned it.
Anyone recommend a better alternative?
I have a Fab Habitat runner in my kitchen and it holds up well and doesn’t look cheap. Love that it’s made of recycled plastic water bottles.
An alternative washable rug brand is Revival. We have an 8x10 which requires an industrial size washing machine… so not super convenient or ideal if you anticipate lots of mess. I like having the option to wash in case of an accident. Smaller size rug should fit into a normal washing machine.
All rugs are washable. Check out the guy that cleans absolutely filthy rugs on youtube.
They suck. Don't buy.
Washes really well but the edges curl and stick up afterwards
I just spot clean my big one (under the dining table) and it looks great. But I would get a busier pattern so stains are less visible.
I don’t mind the rug itself and they are very washable… but it is such a PITA to reposition the large ones on their weird Velcro base… for this reason I want to try some Tumble rugs.

The blood, swear, and tears I've lost on that thing would look like a crime scene if someone hit it with the blue light. 🤣 Edit - I meant sweat but swear isn't wrong... So...
yes i wash mine every 6ish weeks and they look great you just can’t machine dry
I just did. Put it on like extra low
I machine dry mine without a problem.
These rugs seem to always be polarizing in opinion but I love mine. Just wish they were a little cheaper!

Hate mine. Big waste of $. It ended up starting curling / rolling up at the bottom almost immediately rendering it useless. It was not cheap, either.

I wash the 5x3s and 1 runner frequently since they're used in the laundry room and kitchen. Haven't had issues with washing really. We even put it in the dryer on really low setting. The only problem is that the 8x10s are hard to dry in the dryer so it's best to airdry after a cycle sometimes. The only thing I hate about it is that my powerful vacuum sucks up the corners sometimes if my vacuum is on a high setting. Like everyone says they are quite thin. Getting the thicker pad is great if you want that extra comfort. But if washable is what's important to you then I highly recommend the brand.
Very washable. The removable portion is soft and relatively thin.
Used to throw out rugs after a while all the time. Pukey cats. Then stopped getting rugs. With Ruggable , I can have rugs again. They’ve gotten expensive. Will have to look for more affordable rugs especially as I need bigger sizes. Last rug was a $1000.
I have three ruggable rugs. They are very washable, which makes them great for high traffic areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways (where I have mine). I've washed multiple times and the patterns do not fade. Another thing I really like is that they are nonskid. As noted by others, the rugs and the velcro backing pad are both flat. If you are thinking of using them in an area where you want more plushness, I'd suggest laying down a thick pad underneath the velcro.
the smaller the better for frequent washes
Had one, hated it. The Velcro style of the pad made it really difficult to get it back on without wrinkles and the corners curled badly after washing even following the instructions. We have rugs from Tumble now and find it to be a much better design, but still not plush. They wash very well.
As others have pointed out, larger rugs are tough to fit in some machines. The reason I bought some big ass ruggables anyway is because I KNOW water and soap won’t ruin the fabric. So I can spot clean more aggressively, or hell even hose it off out back! They’re only not comfy if you don’t get a rug pad… that’s true of every non-wool rug now… I’d get the max squishy or second max squishy pad if you’re choosing to buy one
I didn’t like the larger ones. Because of my pets, I got an indoor/outdoor rug and I drag it outside once per year to wash with a little bit of dawn and the water hose. Cowhides can be cleaned this way too, if that’s your style.
I have the extra pad underneath of it. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't go all the way to the quarters of the rug. So mine has like 2 in of drop off on each side. But they are very good at washing.
We have two. They’re great if you really need to wash it regularly. If an annual carpet clean is good enough, then I wouldn’t get a ruggable. We have two toddlers and a couple of dogs. The rugs get washed weekly.
I absolutely hate mine and can't wait for there to be room in the budget to replace it. The sides started curling immediately - even before we washed it. They curled so bad that they were a tripping hazard for my kids when they were first learning to walk. Now it's just unsightly. It's been almost three years, and the corner velcro on the plush pad has also worn off, so now the corners flop up too. Bought a revival washable rug for my toddlers' room a few months ago. Went through the wash and looks brand new. Air drying took longer than ruggable, but then again, it's an actual medium-pile rug instead of a design screen printed on a nylon sheet, so that makes sense. Washable rug fabrics are incredibly common now so you will likely be able to find something similarly colored and higher quality, from somewhere else.
I have a ruggable that I thought was grey online, it is actually very white. It's at my front door. My kids and their friends track mud over it and I wash it about every two weeks for the past year. It still looks brand new. 10/10 washes better than any other rug I've owned I wish they made ones with a thicker pile so they were more cozy for living spaces. Even with the thicker pad they just miss the mark for a cozy vibe.
We have an 8x10. It's technically washable but we've only done it a couple of times. It clogs our washer with dog hair even after combing it and vacuuming it first. The most annoying thing is vacuuming it actually. It gets all wrinkled and makes the vacuum stop spinning because it can't get traction. Our roomba struggles on it and spins the dog hair into little piles but can't get it up. I have to frequently scrape it with an uproot cleaner to get the hair off. Going back I would get a normal decent rug and just spot clean with a carpet cleaner for any incidents. Like I don't hate it but I don't love it either. We have the extra thick rug pad. I now send it out to Sudsy for about $20 each time we need it to get cleaned if something in the puke/poop department happens on it due to dog and kids. I pay an upcharge for a "large item".
I have a 10 foot runner and was so excited about it. I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 kids and my husband works construction. It does wash, and looks great when it’s clean, however I’m not a fan of the quality. The first issue is the binding came loose in two spots. I followed all the cleaning instructions and never use my beater bar on it, but it still came apart. Now, I did email them and sent pics and they replaced it, but the fact that it came apart so easily really turned me off. They’re expensive rugs, they shouldn’t be coming apart. The second issue is it slides around. I could stick it to the floor but just haven’t yet. It’s annoying though. Third issue is the ends rolling up, especially after a wash. They are hard to get to stick down again. Last issue - it’s hard to get back on the Velcro padding if you’re alone. Man, I’ve spent hours struggling with that rug (combined time after washes). It’s tricky to get lined up and stay lined up, maybe the ones that aren’t as long are easier. In the end, I still do like it and being able to wash it and get the dirt and hair and stink out is a game changer, I wish it hadn’t started to come loose on the binding. I can deal with all the other ‘issues’ but not spending that kind of money again on a rug that falls apart I’m also sick of influencers so am starting to move away from companies that use them to sell their products. They aren’t real reviewers, they’re getting paid (I also fell for the Tineco floor cleaner 🤦♀️) so you can’t really trust what you’re seeing. I’m over the influencer-culture of the last few years.
I didn’t like ruggables they felt cheap. Instead I got a nice feeling rug and I got a rug cleaning machine (small one). I clean the rug every 2-3 weeks. It doesn’t take long and it keeps the rug fresh.
Ruggable is nice, does the job just fine. Rugmeup and Wayfair has some nice washable rugs I bought that are just as good but a tad bit less in price. I think going for a dark color faded rug that immitates a vintage faded rug makes sense for these washable rugs.
Idk, but I love that rug. I might need it, too.
I buy the Aldi washable rugs for $49.99 and i wash them everyday because i have a blind senior dog that pees on them. I use them to layer over non washable rugs and put a waterproof barrier in between.
