Arbelle Red 7'10 x 9'9 Machine Washable Rug

This rug is specifically designed for durability in active households. The polyester and cotton blend is resilient against the daily wear of pet claws and heavy foot traffic. Furthermore, the artfully faded vintage floral medallion pattern is strategically designed to help mask minor stains or shedding between washes, making it an excellent choice for busy families who prioritize both style and practicality.

Despite its practical, low-profile 0.25-inch height, this rug is crafted for "incredible softness and pliability," as noted in its design profile. The blend of polyester and cotton provides a comfortable feel underfoot that is much softer than typical outdoor or utility rugs, ensuring it feels right at home in a cozy bedroom or a main seating area.

While this rug is fully machine-washable, its large dimensions (approximately 8x10) mean it may exceed the capacity of a standard residential agitator-style washer. For the best results and to protect your machine, we recommend using a large-capacity front-loading washer or a commercial-sized machine at a laundromat. This ensures the rug has enough space to be thoroughly cleaned and rinsed without being cramped.

To preserve the integrity of the fibers and the backing, it is generally recommended to air dry your washable rug. You can drape it over a sturdy railing or lay it flat in a well-ventilated area. If you must use a dryer, always use the lowest heat setting (air fluff or delicate) to prevent any heat damage or shrinkage to the cotton and polyester materials.

Absolutely. This rug is an ideal choice for a dining room because its low pile height allows chairs to slide easily without catching on thick fibers. Since it is machine-washable, accidental food or drink spills can be handled with much less stress than with a traditional woven rug. For smaller messes, our experts suggest spot-cleaning with a mild detergent and a soft cloth before resorting to a full machine wash.

Because of its sleek 0.25-inch low pile—which makes it "machine-washable" and easy to maintain—this rug is lighter than traditional high-pile options. To keep it securely in place and prevent it from shifting during vacuuming, we highly recommend using a high-quality rug pad. When vacuuming, we suggest using a setting for hard floors or low piles and turning off the beater bar to avoid snagging the edges.
