Top Standard Machine Washable Rugs in South Africa for Sale Online

Anyone who has a child, or a pet, will know that accidents are bound to happen even if you have rules in place to protect your furniture and your rugs. Fortunately, there is hope for those who want nice rugs with a busy family dynamic with pets and kids running around.

Machine washable rugs are the answer for busy households and office spaces with high traffic areas. All rugs have some inherent washable characteristic and rugs that are branded as "washable" can typically be washed in a washing machine while others can be cleaned easily using a carpet cleaner.

However, it is not always common for all rugs such as Persians, silk, or brand name rugs that may seem appealing, but are high maintenance in high traffic areas in the home with pets and kids.

 Rugs Original offers a range of machine washable rugs in South Africa at competitive prices online.

Considerations when buying a washable rug

Before shopping for machine washable rugs for sale, make sure that it fits the space and consider the current interior design as well. It is crucial to select a rug that can seamlessly blend in with existing furniture and decor, allowing it to tie the room together.

Other features that must be considered, including tips on keeping the washable rug in tip-top shape, include some of the following:

• Not only does the rug need to fit the room but it should also fit the washing machine. If the washable rug is too big, it will have to be taken to a commercial laundromat and this may not be cost-effective.
• Most washable rugs are made from synthetic materials such as polyester, and this means that the corners can easily stand up because of the abrasiveness of the washing machine. Some rugs are made from natural materials such as cotton and wool, but they tend to be more expensive.
• Washable rugs can be washed, but they should not be washed daily. To make them last longer and to avoid wear and tear, these washable rugs must only be washed when they are dirty or stained. Like other rugs, washable rugs can be vacuumed or spot cleaned using a carpet cleaner. Exhaust these options before machine washing the rug.
• There are washable rugs that are branded as "washable" but will require professional cleaning. When buying a washable rug, make sure that it can be washed in a washing machine.

Why are Washable Rugs trending like crazy?
