Alternative Machine Washable Rug Brands
After our Ruggable review blew up, I started getting a ton of questions about machine washable rug brands. The most common question I get is whether there are machine washable rug brands other than Ruggable. Now, I’m not about to spend all our dough ordering every different brand on the market. (If you want to send us some to try out, be my guest!) But what I can do is list some machine washable rug brands below that other viewers & followers have recommended to me. I have not personally tested out all of these washable area rug companies, but if you have, please let us know how they worked for you!
List Of Machine Washable Rug Brands
Here are the most common machine washable rug brands recognized and purchased by our viewers.
Let’s break them down a little more!
Ruggable
Ruggable is, undoubtedly, the most well known of the machine washable rug brands. If you haven’t heard of it, Ruggable is a two-part rug system with interchangeable covers. There are both pros and cons to the Ruggable rug system. Ever since we figured out how to fix the Ruggable edge curling, we are very happy with our Ruggables. We plan to buy even more in the future. Some of our viewers recommended purchasing Ruggable rugs from Amazon, as the return policy seems to be more flexible than when purchasing from the Ruggable website directly.
ReaLife
ReaLife appears to be one of the most popular machine washable rugs on Amazon. They have a TON of different beautiful options. I’m really digging the styles they offer, and they appear to have many good reviews. For for most rug designs, there are various color options available, too. Yay for customization!
Yome
While I was looking into these machine washable rug brands, Yome caught my eye because of its shag rug options. I’ve shied away for shag rugs for a long time because I feel like they get super gross and nasty without the ability to vacuum well. However, I might actually go for a machine washable shag rug like Yome’s since the cleaning issue seems to be fixed!
Well Woven
Oh my, I am truly in love with Well Woven‘s area rug designs. And the fact that they are labeled as machine washable is a huge plus! I’m such a sucker for a good southwestern style rug, and Well Woven has multiple designs that remind me of our Arizona desert wedding. Too. Dreamy.
HEBE
If you’re looking for cotton machine washable rug brands, you’ve come to the right place. HEBE makes rugs out of recycled cotton, so they’re soft and environmentally friendly. As an added bonus, some of their styles are reversible, which makes re-decorating a little easier and a lot cheaper.
Mylife
Mylife doesn’t appear to offer quite as many machine washable rug styles (on Amazon, at least), however their style is a bit unique so I wanted to include them anyway. See, Mylife features designs with bright blues, greens, and magentas, which might be just what one needs for more of an eclectic space.
Shacos
Be still, my heart. I LOVE a pretty round rug. Thankfully, Shacos advertises the most beautiful, zen-inspiring round rugs. Many of these are labeled as machine washable as well. Someday I might actually go for a cream-based rug, as long as it’s machine-washable. I would love to wake up and stretch on this pretty piece!
LEEVAN
Leevan advertises this piece as not only a machine washable rug, but as an indoor/outdoor rug as well. I’m not totally clear on the texture of the rug itself, but based on the description, it appears to be pretty hardy. Leevan appears to offer more options for smaller accent rugs, than large area rugs. They offer some very cute round rug options, too!
GelPro
I’m really not entirely sure how people manage having non-washable rugs in the kitchen. Maybe normal people are a lot more tidy & less clumsy than me? (Entirely possible.) However, when searching for machine washable rug brands, GelPro caught my eye. It seems to be geared towards kitchens, but can also be used in hallways, living rooms, etc.. I also dig the corner reinforcement go prevent curling.
Alternatives to Machine Washable Rug Brands
Many of our viewers suggested that a rug marketed as “machine washable” isn’t always necessary. For example, quite a few commenters mentioned that they choose to use indoor/outdoor rugs inside. This way, if a mess occurs, one can simply bring the indoor/outdoor rug outside and hose it down.
Alternatively, a few viewers mentioned the unique rug/flooring company called Flor. Flor creates custom-sized rugs through the use of a rug-like tile system. This is advantageous to cleaning up messes because the specific tiles can be removed and cleaned accordingly. However, Flor does not appear to advertise their rug tiles as machine washable.
Machine Washable Rug Brands In Summary
Not everyone finds it necessary to have a washable rug. However, since we purchased our Ruggable rugs, I will never go back to regular area rugs again. Especially with pets. Sure, the washing process is difficult enough that I wouldn’t do it every week. But having the option to wash a rug when it gets grimy, rather than having to go out and buy a new one (or pay through the nose for a pro cleaning), is nearly priceless. We wash our rugs roughly every 1.5-2 months, and we have the routine down perfectly.
Which machine washable rug brands have you used?
Sharon Shackelford says
Good afternoon. I have commented on your blog before. You had problems with curly edges and Ruggable replaced yours. I am having the same issue and I am a little disappointed in the colors, they seem to be fading. I have sent them a message but have not received a reply. I have washed it once but I dried it 5 times on low temperature for 60 minutes each time. Wow, I had no idea it would take that long!!
You said that you know how to fix the curling of the edges, do you mind sharing or giving me advice on how to deal with this?
Thanks Sharon

Hi Sharon! Absolutely — we use a floor steamer to relax the edges on our rugs, which has worked fabulously. Here is a video we posted on YouTube showing exactly how we do it. https://youtu.be/qVt2xl0upn8 They do take a long time to dry, don’t they!? We only wash them roughly once a month for that same reason.
