For one of the rugs, I chose their cushioned pad instead of the regular pad–big difference! The one with the regular pad is in a bathroom and truly is just a mat. I would not buy it again. The other is quite comfy to stand on (I have it in front of my kitchen sink) and I would buy it again. The rugs themselves are lovely though–I love the patterns which look nicer than some of the wool rugs I own.

I will give Boutique a try now, too! Thanks for the reviews.

I just purchased a NuLoom rug in an 8×10 size for under my dining room table. In theory, I wouldn’t think it will move around much because the weight of the table should hold it in place. I wanted something washable, kid & cat friendly, in addition to something somewhat thin so our chairs can slide easily. The rug is very pretty and soft, if it doesn’t hold up well I will toss it and buy new for the $200 I spent. I really wanted a Ruggable but can’t justify spending the extra money on it.

Karen,

I have a washable Boutique rug that I vacuum and it has held up beautifully. The one I have is thicker than the Ruggable rugs. Whether or not you need a pad depends on how much cushion you want underfoot AND whether you need to prevent the rug from slipping. I have pads underneath mine to prevent slipping. I hope this helps.

There’s a beautiful washable boutique rug but I’m having a hard time deciding. Out of all the rug patterns that the one I love and it just happens to be washable. I guess I just need some to say yes I would get it or I should keep looking. How well does a vacuum work on them? Do I need to get the pad for underneath? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for the input. To me it just didn’t feel like a rug. I think you will like the boutique rugs. I have a few of those.

They stay in place, neverr move, they vacuum well, and yes I’ve washed one and it was like folding a fitted sheet -not easy, but doable. We got one for my MIL who uses a walker. She loves that it is low pile so her walker runs right over it and the pad is cushioned enough to make it nice to walk on. Our star wars theme rug is a centerpiece to our basement family room. Couldn’t love it more. About to purchase another, but am thinking of trying boutique rugs instead.

Mandy,

I have many pets and I really love wool or indoor outdoor rugs for high traffic areas. Wool actually repels dirt. Make sure the rug has a pattern, which hides hair and dirt. AND I own a handheld water cleaner like the Bissell Pet Stain Eraser, it works great. For the slipping issue I use a felted rug pad. Makes the rugs feel more comfortable too.

I hope this helps.

That being said, what rug do you suggest for a high traffic entry way approximately 5′ by 7′. I do have 2 dogs! I have thrown out so many rugs in the past because they get so dingy. This rug would go over hard wood so I don’t want it to slip, Thank you!

Thanks for your feedback about how to prevent the curl. I guess I just don’t like the thinness of the ruggable. I’ve had better luck using wool rugs and a small handheld steam cleaner to clean up accidents. I don’t have to move furniture and I found the rugs don’t get that clean in the washer, but could be just me.

I purchased a Ruggable 8 x 10 rug for my living room. I have had it about 1.5 years now. Yes, it is more mat-like than a plush rug, but I also have 2 dogs, a Lab and Yorkie. The Lab is a high shedder and a low pile rug makes pet hair removal way easier. Because I had read about the rug edge curling, when I wash my rug, I do not dry it in the dryer. I lay it out flat (outside, in my bonus room, or over a railing). It dries really quickly and I have not had any curling. Yes, they are on the pricy side, but that is better than hiring a carpet cleaner to come clean 1 rug!
