Find out how washable carpets actually resist stains, dirt and pet accidents. Plus, find out where you can purchase one for your home.
When it comes to bulk purchases, carpet is one of the biggest options. We beastly test washable carpets. Read on to find out what we thought after trying out a washable carpet in our home.
Does it really washable?
Yes! Perhaps more surprisingly, it does fit in a standard washing machine. I tested two sizes: 5'x7' and 3'x5', and they both fit (individually) easily into my top-loading washer. However, just like any other stainable material, it is important to treat stains as soon as they appear. Carpets are washable, yes, but they are not immune to permanent stains.
I was hesitant about how easily the 6'x 9' rug would fit in my standard washing machine, but it folds up smaller than you might think.
Another thing we noticed was that over time, after multiple washes, the rug would flip up along the border instead of laying completely flat on the mat. There is no real solution to this other than to adjust and reattach the print layer until it is flat again.
