For Classic and Outdoor Rugs:
No. We do not recommend using fabric softener when washing the Classic Rug Cover as it may flatten the rug's texture. The texture and malleability of the Premium Rug Cover improves organically after washing on a normal cycle without fabric softener.
For Premium, Plush, Shag, and Faux Hide Rugs:
No. The Plush and Shag Rug Covers do not require the use of fabric softener to maintain their texture.
Tip: If your vacuum has a rotating bristle attachment that is gentle enough for use on our Rug Covers, vacuuming can often help re-fluff the Plush texture after wash.
