While our Rug Covers are relatively low maintenance, care is necessary to maximize their longevity. Here are the best ways to wash your Ruggable rug Covers:
For Chenille Rugs:
1. Remove the soiled Rug Cover from the Rug Pad and put it in the washer with the design side facing out.
2. Machine-wash the Rug Cover in cold water on a delicate cycle using a mild, non-bleach detergent.
3. Dry on low heat or hang and air-dry.
Tip: You may choose to add ½ cup of white vinegar to your detergent to help neutralize pet odors.
For Plush Rugs:
1. Remove the soiled Rug Cover from the Rug Pad and put it in the washer with the pile side facing out.
2. Machine-wash the Rug Cover in cold water on a delicate cycle using a mild, non-bleach detergent.
3. Hang-dry your Rug Cover for best results. You may tumble-dry using the delicate or air fluff setting of your dryer, if available. Do not apply anything more than very low heat during the washing and drying process to prevent damage to the fibers of your rug.
For Re-Jute Rugs:
1. If the rug is used outdoors, first sweep or blow away any debris, such as leaves or dust, that may have accumulated on the rug. Do not use sharp instruments (like a metal rake) that may damage the woven fibers. If it is used indoors, proceed to step 2.
2. Remove the soiled Rug Cover from the Rug Pad and put it in the washer with the design side facing out.
