Rugs for the Holidays & Beyond

I love these vintage looking boho rugs not only for how amazing they look, but for the fact that they are machine washable. With big dogs, husbands, and grandchildren, having a rug that is easy to toss in the washer and dryer is a godsend.

The Rug Shop

I only buy these non-slip, machine washable rugs now as they have made my life so much easier. With the big dogs and their messes, grandkids with spills and accidents, these rugs can just be tossed into the front load washer. They are thin though, so if you want padding, you need a separate under pad. These are safe for those of us with mobility issues, too, as they are non slip.

They come in various colours, these are just a sampling of my favourites, and sizes, including hallway runners.

Machine Washable Area Rug

This 5×8 rug fits into just about any machine, wash it as often as you need! Great for folks with pets and kids.

Machine Washable Rug

I love this one, I have it in the grandies bedroom. Super easy to wash up, is non skid.

Machine Washable Area Rug

This 6×9 area rug has great autumnal colours, comes in other colour combinations, too. Non slip.


Sharing only what I really like (I daresay, what I love) & what actually does what it says it is going to do… in both the home and garden.
