Washable Rug Care – Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty

Washable rugs are a dream for busy households and pet-friendly spaces—but they still need the right care to keep them looking and feeling their best. At House of Barrie, our washable rugs are designed for durability and ease. Here’s how to make them last.

Vacuum Lightly, but Often
Frequent vacuuming is essential. A quick once-over with a low-suction vacuum keeps dust, crumbs, and pet hair from building up. Avoid beater bars that may break down the pile or backing.

Handle Spills with Care
Accidents happen. Blot spills immediately with a clean towel and use a mild detergent if needed. For deeper stains, spot clean with warm water and a soft cloth. Harsh chemicals can strip the texture or color of your rug.

Washing Machine Dos & Don’ts
Our rugs are machine washable—just use cold water, a gentle cycle, and mild soap. Never use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble drying may damage the backing, so air-drying flat is best for preserving shape and softness.

Rotate to Prevent Wear
Especially in high-traffic areas like kitchens and entryways, rotating your rug every few months ensures even wear. This simple step can dramatically extend your rug’s lifespan.

Maintain the Anti-Slip Backing
After several washes, check the grip. If needed, use a non-slip pad underneath to maintain stability. Our attached backings are designed for long-term performance, but a little maintenance keeps them at peak function.

Washable Rug Care = Effortless Living
With the right approach, your rug stays vibrant, clean, and cozy—adding warmth to your home without the worry. Thoughtfully designed and easy to maintain, washable rugs are the perfect blend of form and function.
