The Best Washable Rugs We've Tested in Nurseries, Living Rooms, and Beyond

"I bought this and my bedroom rugs together and they arrived within days, which is an added bonus when you buy anything from Ruggable," Cherner explains. "I wanted something neutral but not boring, so I spent what felt like seven years looking through all of Ruggable neutral-toned rugs and found this one. I love it. You can't really tell from the photo, but it is a bit higher pile than the one in my bedroom because it's a tufted cover (versus the flatwoven cover), which is nice for a living room, I think." It also comes in a natural and rose gold color, both of which are pretty, but the former read a bit yellow and the rose gold is a bit pink for our space. If you want a true neutral, the stone color is great.

If you're wondering whether Ruggable or Revival has better rugs, it'll all boil down to personal preference for designs. "Revival offers machine washable rugs in three textures: recycled OEKO-TEX polyester, wool (50 New Zealand wool, 50 Indian wool), and 100 percent organic cotton (including recycled denim). The company is unique in offering large natural fiber rugs that are designed to be machine washable," Senior Features Editor Elyse Moody says. Moody owns a striped rug from Revival and uses it for her daughter's nursery. "Two other HB editors have and love Revival’s recycled polyester rugs. Deputy Managing Editor Olivia Hosken has the exact same color stripe rug as I do," Moody adds. While Hosken says, "I feel like it really punches above its weight in terms of the cost versus quality."

Senior Commerce Editor Marina Liao was against the idea of washable rugs until she tried Tumble. "I know washing machines are there to clean anything and everything, but something about tossing a rug, and items like canvas shoes, into a place where my undergarments will also go in the next wash cycle, grossed me out," she explains. However, after testing Tumble's rug for a week, she was sold on the brand's design. The rugs are spill-proof, don't distort in the washer and dryer, and feel silky soft underfoot.

"If you're thinking about trying washable rugs for the first time, I highly recommend the Tumble brand. Compared to similar rugs in material and size from brands like Ruggable and Revival, Tumble is more affordable. For instance, a rug similar to my Petra at those brands starts around $200+ if not on sale," she says. "Tumble rugs are also easy to wash, unlike some of the larger rug options from other brands, and are perfect for busy households with kids. I rate the rugs' convenience and construction a 10/10."

We love an incredible deal. Case in point: This Kueth rug that retails for $110 and is on sale for $46. We don't know how much longer this deal will last, so if this non-slip find is speaking to you, don't wait to add it to cart. It comes in three colors, but we're partial to the green one because the other two are very traditional takes on a classic patterned area rug. "I bought this rug with no expectations to match and hopefully make our rental house with ugly outdated floors and furniture look better, and it exceeded my expectations," one reviewer said. "It looks great, came in a small box, and our dogs love it. I love that I can just shake the dirt off or wash it." The best part of this rug, though, is the bottom, which is complete with a rubbery finish so that you don't need to invest in a rug pad.

These types of rugs are often done in bright, jewel-toned colors, so when we see one in subdued pastels, we are quick to add to cart. This one, in fact, comes in four colors and four sizes (from 3' x 5' to 8' x 10'). It may arrive a bit creased from being rolled in the box, but leave it flat for a few days and you'll notice those creases quickly disappear. If, on the other hand, you need it looking its best ASAP, toss it in the wash when you get it, and it will come out perfectly smooth.

We've said it before and we'll definitely say it again: We love a deal. This one is almost too good to be true, but here we are. This gorgeous washable rug with a symmetrical floral pattern is a whopping $545 off! It also comes in dusty pink and silvery tones, but there's something so mystical about the romantic shade of blue. One reviewer said, "I love this little rug! It's soft to walk or sit on, and was a perfect addition to my home office. It's a small accent to warm up the space and I love it. Great for the price point."

Many washable rugs have a flat look to them, so if you want something a bit more plush, here's a popular option from Rugs USA. It's a medium pile (0.55 inches) rug and features a subdued geometric pattern that'll work seamlessly into your home's decor. "The texture is amazing as well as the color. The pictures do not do it justice," one reviewer wrote. Meanwhile, another person said: "The color, texture and look of this rug is perfect! I wanted something easier to clean than my last shag rug, and this is it! it is also SO soft to walk on. I'm obsessed with the color and it was delivered so quickly!"
