Ruggable Rugs

[isabel]

Does anyone have a Ruggable rug? If you do, how's the quality? Does it still look good after washing?

They have a static cling backing and you can remove the cloth part and throw it in the washing machine. They are shockingly affordable. $400 for an 8x10, including the backing and the cloth part. I'm tempted. I want to move our nice West Elm rug up to our bedroom. I am constantly stressed out that the kids or dog are going to ruin it.

Following this post because I really want one but haven’t pulled the trigger.

I don't, but FWIW, I have a light colored west elm rug in our family room and have only had to spot clean it a couple times and it's been fine.

I have one but have not washed it yet. The colors shown on the website are shockingly inaccurate. Like my rug was supposed to be navy and dark red, and it is actually bright blue and coral. Luckily it still matched my house but it was crazy how off it was. It is very thin and almost looks like a flat piece of fabric with a painted on design - it definitely doesn’t look like a real Persian rug. I use it as my front door mat so I didn’t care too much. I’m not sure that I would want a huge version of it (but I also have real Persian rugs so it would look super fake if they were side by side). However, I like it for the specific purpose of being a door mat - it is much more attractive than a typical door mat. The reviews say that it photographs beautifully, which is true. I couldn’t take a photo that showed how it really looked in real life. It definitely looks better in photos than in real life.

I ordered one about three weeks ago for my entryway and it just shipped so I'm anxious to get it.

How do you think it will do in terms of people/animals wiping their feet on it at the door? I've considered it for our back door. 

Is it thin even with both layers? We don't have a ton of clearance when the door swings open so only thinner rugs will work for us.

I think it would work well for that purpose. We’ve had wet boots/ shoes on it and you can’t even tell. It is pretty thin overall - definitely thinner than a typical door mat.

This one is woven, so the threads get pulled up all the time. It’s not a cleanliness thing so much as me worrying about damage. But it’s also really difficult to clean.

Hmmm. This makes me kind of wary. I wouldn't get a Persian style one, just because that's not my thing. Do you think a more plain geometric design or solid would look better?

Maybe I'll just get an inexpensive one from Target. We need something in our living room since we're selling the house soon, but the dog is stressing me out with that rug down there.

I really want a runner for my kitchen. I so far have resisted any type of rug or mat for my kitchen because I want it to be washable.

Some of the reviews on Amazon said that the solid colors were better.  It was the fact that the pattern looked printed on.  I would try looking up the exact rug on amazon and reading the reviews there - many people commented that the rug photographs beautifully but looks cheap in real life, but again, this might just be the particular pattern.  I noticed that Ruggable doesn't even sell the one I purchased any longer (it was the Noor pattern), and I wonder if the reviews and complaints had something to do with it.

My BFF has a few and I think they look pretty good. One weird thing about the coloring - she got the same pattern in 2 different sizes/shapes...but the color is different from the two by several shades. It still looks fine, because they are not right next to each other, but, it is weird...so if you are super particular about exact shades, I'd be cautious.

The rugs wash well, and I don't think look cheap or bad at all.

I got my kitchen runner at TJMaxx! Super cheap and I throw it into the wash weekly. 

I keep it right in front of the sink so it gets a lot of crap on it. Has held up for 4 years.
