PBK Rugs

[moonstone523]

The sellers left two PBK rugs in the garage (they told me they were). They need to be cleaned, but I'm either going to try to sell them on CL or see if the girl's rug will go in Sammy's room.

How do I go about deep cleaning these rugs?

Moon, I didn't know if I was the only one seeing it, but sometimes the pic of Sammy is HUGE and other times it is normal. I have not figured out what happens when it's big (#Thatswhatshesaid).

I would do as they recommend.... chenille can be a b*tch when washed....."Professional rug cleaning is recommended as needed."

Probably not worth me getting someone out here to clean them.

That's why I made sure the rug in Amelia's room can go in the washer. Rugs around here need to be washed frequently until my white dog rests in peace.

Lila's rug is washable too. I bought it at Target.

I might just list them on CL and see if I can get anything. They are the big size so cost $599 each. These people are nuts. They left the rugs, but took every day thing off the walls (i.e. even all the towels racks). We could have made a stink, but it was such a hassle anyways it wasn't worth it.

Towel racks are expensive, yo! As I'm sure you've figured out. (Boo hiss).

I haven't even looked into that shit yet. We are too busy dealing with plumbing issues, etc. Can't sweat the small stuff, ya know?

Can someone please tell me more about machine washable rugs.

I just threw away a rug that cannot be salvaged.

I have been through a million cheap bathroom throw rugs because that's my dogs fav place to pee, so I've become really aware when buying them. The water absorbent rugs that are the thing right now are awesome because they can be washed daily if you need and they don't fall apart. But they're obviously too small for the bedroom so in addition to checking the label you just have to make sure the bottom doesn't have that meltable rubber backing so it can dry, and that the weave is the type to not disintegrate in the machine. I picked up the one for Amelia's room at TJMaxx and its the bomb dot com. There was only one or I would have bought more. I've emailed the address on the tag to try and get more but they ignore me (its a company in Canada).
