How to Keep Your Home Stylish with Washable Rugs

Looking for washable rugs that aren’t lacking in style? We’ve all been there – imagining the perfect rug, then panicking at the thought of the first spill. Well, not anymore! At Miss Amara, we’re here to turn those nightmares into dreams with our vibrant selection of washable rugs. 

Read on as we give you all the secrets to choosing and using the right rugs, so you can maintain a home that’s not only stylish but effortlessly spotless, day after day.

The basics of washable rugs

What materials are used in washable rugs?

There’s a smorgasbord of materials that can handle a spin in the washing machine. We’re talking about sturdy favourites like cotton and polyester, along with olefin or polypropylene, nylon, and even viscose. 

Here at Miss Amara, we know the pain of spilling your morning brew or your pet’s muddy paws ruining your perfect rug moment. That’s why we offer our TUMBLRUGS. They’re machine washable rugs carefully made of either polyester, cotton, or wool, so you have the choice to pick what best suits your home’s style and your lifestyle’s demands.

How durable are washable rugs?

They’re built to last, thanks to the materials we mentioned above! For example, polyester can resist stains, fading, and wear and tear. Wool washable rugs, the heavyweight champion of durability, can even last decades while keeping their shape and colour. And let’s not forget cotton washable rugs – durable, soft, and always washable.

Still, remember that no matter what materials were used, the quality of how they were made plays a massive role in just how resilient these rugs are. 

At Miss Amara, our washable rugs, like our other products, are of high quality. Even better, our TUMBLRUGS are designed to be ‘stainvincible’. Spills, splashes, and the occasional ‘oops’ moments are no match. A quick soak, a spin in the wash, or a dedicated hand wash, and it’s like nothing ever happened.

How and where to use the best washable rugs

Here’s how you can seamlessly integrate various types of washable rugs into your home, ensuring each piece not only elevates your space but also adds value in ways you might not have imagined.

Starting with the heart of the home, kitchen washable rugs can be a chef’s best friend. Lay one down where you stand the most (perhaps by the sink or the stove) to catch drips and spills, making the inevitable cleanup as easy as a swift launder.

In the restroom, washable bathroom rugs are a must-have for keeping the space safe and dry. Placed by the shower or in front of the sink, they offer a soft landing for wet feet, reducing the risk of slips while keeping the area looking chic and tidy.

For larger living spaces, washable area rugs are indispensable. They anchor furniture arrangements and define spaces without the worry of permanent stains from accidental spills.

What’s more, washable outdoor rugs are perfect for defining seating or dining areas outside, making your outdoor living spaces as comfortable and inviting as your interiors.

Don’t overlook the power of washable throw rugs to transform a room. These versatile pieces can add a splash of colour or texture anywhere you need it — draped over a chair, laid out for a play area, or even as a statement piece in a small room!

The utility of washable runner rugs extends beyond their function. Perfect for hallways and entryways, they protect your floors from traffic and wear while welcoming guests with your unique style. 

On the other hand, a washable round rug can soften any space, adding a hint of curvature to the straight lines of furniture and architecture. They’re particularly effective in breaking up the monotony of rectangular rooms or spaces, offering a focal point that’s as practical as it is pleasing to the eye.

Can I throw my washable rugs in any washing machine?

While washable rugs are indeed a breeze to clean, it’s not a one-size-fits-all scenario when it comes to throwing them in the washing machine. The key here is to check the capacity of your washing machine to ensure it can handle the size and weight of the rug. 

At Miss Amara, we’ve taken the guesswork out of the equation for you. We provide clear guidance on the capacity of the washing machine that’s up to the task. This way, you can rest assured that your vibrant, cosy rug will come out looking as fabulous as the day you rolled it out in your space.

How do I keep my washable rugs from moving?

You can either opt for those with non-slip backing or consider adding a rug underlay to your setup. 

At Miss Amara, we’ve got you covered with a selection of rug underlays designed to prevent any unwanted sliding. It’s a simple yet effective solution to ensure your rugs stay put, maintaining the beauty and safety of your space.
