Real Simple Editors Swear by These Machine-Washable Rugs—Here’s How to Get 15% Off
Yes, we said machine-washable!
I love how a well-placed area rug creates a soft landing near the front door, or provides a cozy spot to stand while washing dishes at the kitchen sink. But in high-traffic areas like the entryway or prone-to-spills spots like the kitchen, area rugs tend to get gross. Trust me, I got so fed up with trying to keep a kitchen rug clean that I decided to go without one (in truth, it now only makes an appearance when people come over). In the battle between a clean home and a cozy home, the latter was losing. That is, until Stephanie Sisco, Real Simple's home director, introduced me to Ruggable a couple years ago, a company that specializes in machine-washable, stain-resistant area rugs. Clean and cozy was actually possible.

Each Ruggable rug is actually two pieces, a lightweight rug cover and a nonslip rug pad. The rug cover is stain-resistant and can be thrown in the washing machine whenever it needs a spruce-up. The rug pad locks the rug in place, and is similar to a nonslip latex-free yoga mat. With a huge range of styles, from modern farmhouse, to contemporary, to bohemian, there's a design to match your home decor.

When I was designing the entryway in this year's Real Simple Home (above), I knew I wanted a rug to greet visitors the second they stepped inside. The one problem: it was bound to get dirty. And especially during a pandemic, I didn't want a rug that would collect germs. Ruggable was the solution. Opting for a 3-by-5-foot Hendesi Heriz Abalone area rug ($109), I was able to get the look of a luxurious rug—and no one would guess it can be tossed in the washing machine whenever dirty shoes or muddy paws traipse across it.
