Ruggable

[Anonymous]

Anyone have a larger one (6x9 or 8x10)?
Are you able to wash it in a standard size washing machine? How has it held up?

I have an 8x10. I've never tried putting it in the machine because that seems impossible. Also, it's a pain to vacuum because the rug top layer is quite thin and just gets sucked up, and then it's difficult to smooth it back out. I regret my purchase.

However, I can see it being a good rug for someone with allergies, in that it has no pile.

I have one on order at the advice of a friend and specifically asked her about the vacuum issue. It wasn’t a problem for her so I’m hopeful but will update

I have a 6x9 and it fits in the washer fine.
But I also regret mine. Like PP it’s impossible to vacuum with my dyson. I had to buy another vacuum with weaker suction just for this stupid rug. One of the edges is almost permanently curled up.

We have an 8 x10 and have washed it a handful of times. ( Thanks to our dog who loves to vomit on it) we washed it just fine- and in an apartment size front load W/D. We lay it out over our table to dry.

It's fine. It serves a purpose. I can't imagine having a regular rug with our dog but yeah its not the best. Vacuuming has also been fine for us as long as we are careful at the edges.

It looks worn just after a few months and I regret the color/pattern but I guess that's my fault.

What pattern did you get?

I have the 5x7 and find it impossible to vacuum. Even with my Dyson stick on “low pile”, it gets sucked up. And one of the corners is curled. It does wash up fine and I like that aspect of it. I initially bought this smaller size to test it out and see if I would like enough to buy larger ones. I will not be repurchasing.

FWIW, we have a very vomity dog and we got a "spot bot" style shampooer. It works well on carpet and rugs. (We also started giving the dog antacid twice a day.)

thanks for posting these reviews. I was about to order an 8x10 until I saw these! I'll hold off on a larger rug from them, but it sounds like they might be okay for a smaller entryway rug that needs to be washed.

I’m interested, but I think it would really only be suitable for a small rug that you want to be at able to wash in the machine. If you get one that is too big for a machine, what’s the point? The whole value proposition is its being washable.…

Sounds good for like a galley kitchen size. We wash our kitchen rug often, so this might be best. Thoughts.

Yeah, imo vomit is nbd. Soak it in nature's miracle and then spot-bot it.
The real problem has been my poor little guy with bladder cancer. Even that though, we could treat immediately with NM and once we figured out what was happening we could keep him off the rugs and just sent them out to be washed. Wool is pretty indestructible, it's just that sending it out for washing is expensive.

We got an 8x10 when our elderly dog became in continent. She also had arthritis. The ruggable is so thin that it’s still just like walking on hard wood. I knew it would be minimal cushion buts it’s literally none at all. We ended up getting rid of it. For us it was a big waste of money.

Ugh, so sad to read all this, was excited to get one, but it sounds like our dyson will eat it.

Thanks for the info!

Glad I found this thread. Was hopping this would be a good solution for our bedroom plus cats, but I’ll keep looking.
