Aebby Gray 9'2 x 11'9 Machine Washable Rug

Due to its generous "mansion size" dimensions, this specific rug is best cleaned in a high-capacity commercial front-load washer, typically found at a professional laundromat. While the rug is fully machine-washable, standard residential washers often lack the drum volume required for a rug of this scale to agitate and rinse effectively. Using a commercial-sized machine ensures the polyester and cotton fibers are thoroughly cleaned without straining your home appliance.

This rug is engineered for "modern practicality," meaning it offers a softer, more pliable feel than many stiff-backed traditional rugs. The cotton blend provides a natural, soft touch underfoot, while the polyester adds a slight sheen and significant durability. At a 0.25” height, it maintains a sleek, low profile that is comfortable for barefoot walking while remaining thin enough to clear most standard door swings.

Absolutely. This rug is specifically designed for high-traffic homes with pets and children. The tight weave of the polyester and cotton blend is resistant to snagging from pet claws, and the low pile prevents pet hair from becoming deeply embedded in the fibers. Furthermore, the artfully faded medallion pattern is an excellent design choice for pet owners, as the intricate vintage details naturally help disguise pet fur and minor daily wear between washes.

Yes, the 9’2” x 11’9” scale is ideal for anchoring large furniture groupings in open-concept spaces. In a dining room, this size is sufficient to ensure that even when chairs are pulled out from the table, all four legs remain on the rug, which protects your flooring and provides a cohesive look. The vintage medallion pattern serves as a sophisticated focal point that can tie together different zones in a larger room.

To preserve the integrity of the vintage design and the pliability of the backing, our care recommendations generally suggest air-drying or using a tumble-dry setting on low heat if the rug size allows. For a rug this large, laying it flat or hanging it over a sturdy rail to air dry is the most effective way to prevent shrinking and ensure the edges remain flat. Avoid high heat, as it can damage the synthetic fibers and affect the rug's long-term durability.

Because this rug is designed to be pliable for machine washing, it has a more flexible construction than a heavy, rug-backed item. For safety and a polished look, we strongly recommend pairing it with a non-slip rug pad. A quality pad will not only keep the rug securely in place on hardwood or tile floors but also provides an extra layer of cushioning and helps prevent the rug from bunching up when you run a vacuum over it.
