Machine washable rugs
Washable rugs go straight into the washing machine, which makes them a practical pick for homes with pets, kids or a busy kitchen. Most washable rugs up to about 5′ × 8′ fit a standard household machine; 8′ × 10′ and larger need a front-loading or commercial washer. Wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, skip the fabric softener, and air-dry completely before putting the rug back down. Always follow the care label on your rug.

Start with size: in a living room, leave 12–18 inches of bare floor around the rug and tuck at least the front legs of your sofa onto it. Then narrow by color and style, and add a rug pad to keep it in place.
