I like the fact that vacuuming is not recommended. A good shake does the trick!

It's so cool to learn that Ruggable listened to their customers' feedback about the corners curling up and spent the extra time and money on a fix.

Stop it! Best informed video ever. You thought of every question possible❤

Amazing review. Worth watching entire video. I cannot imagine having a non-ruggable rug in the kitchen. With kids my kitchen is basically a circus. I refuse to put a rug in there that cannot be washed and washed well.

Thank you for your clear review, especially the bit about Ruggablechanging the corners of the rug to stop the curling. That was my biggest concern, but I was also aware that the comments I was reading were from 3-4 years ago, and didn’t know whether this had been fixed or not! I think I’m now ready to order a 6x9 for under the dining table, and a 4x6 for in front of the couch. Thanks for putting my mind at rest! ❤️.

I've been considering buying a couple of these rugs. Between the dog, my farm boy hubby, and life in general I need a practical solution. You've convinced me to take the plunge and buy them. Thanks

It's really nice to get an honest review. You answered all the questions I've heard on these rugs. I did hear another review about the corners curling up, but think it was before the new corners were introduced. Very good, thank you!

I have 3 of them, (all different sizes) and I am really enjoying them ...I’ve had them about 2 1/2 years... (I also have two 6 month old puppies, and ceramic tiles underneath with no problems🥰)

Great info. I bought a Ruggable several years ago. I bought rug corners and they work well.❤

Thank you! I'm frequently replacing my area rugs due to pets and kids and this just justified the Ruggable price instead of an Amazon bargain or Costco.

I've been on the fence about getting one. Thanks again for a very useful video!

I truly appreciate this feedback as I am currently looking for runners and rugs!

Oh, a really useful and helpful video! It's been harder in recent years to find replacement rugs that are non slip, and I've wondered about Ruggables more than once. When we redid our floors a few years ago we put narrow light wood planks in the high traffic areas except for tiles at the entries and carpet elsewhere, and find even rugs with rubberised backing will slip and slide. I've replaced several because of safety issues due to age and health and ended up taking rugs away altogether except at the entries and kitchen sink. Thanks for the detailed info, I'll have to check out Ruggables and see if I like the styles, I hope so! Bare wood is nice in hot weather but not so much in the cold. 😊❤

I appreciate the review. Very helpful.

I think your rug in your hall is beautiful! I’d love to have one.

I love it too!

This was very informative. Thanks.😊

I bought several this summer- major investment! Not sure if they are worth the hype. Mine are very thin and flat, but the edges want to curl. Be careful when vacuuming not to catch the edge or, as with any rug, the binding will easily unravel. I bought one large, heavier outdoor one which has never dried quickly after rain. I am hopeful I can dry it over a railing before winter but have concerns it will be difficult to clean and maintain.

Thanks for sharing, Christina ❤

Thanks for this review. I’ve been thinking about purchasing a Ruggable rug and you answered a lot of my questions and concerns. I think I will go for it. I don’t mind spending more money if I can easily wash the rug myself. Many times I see carpets or rugs in homes that appear to need a good cleaning but you know it’s a pain to take it somewhere and steam cleaning can be costly. I saw a nice tip if you wanted a larger rug but didn’t want to spend more money or afraid you couldn’t fit it in the washing machine: buy a larger neutral, jute or woven rug and place a smaller ruggable rug on top of it. Layering always looks nice and gives a designer look. Thanks diy mommy!

Thank you for this video review! Most helpful. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great review!

For the biggest ones I take them to the laundry Mat. I tried washing in my washing machine but it didn’t clean it well.

Not being able to vacuum these is a deal breaker. Who wants to drag an 8x10 rug outside every week and beat it with a bat basically like we are on little house on the prairie ? No-go....

I vacuum them without any issues, it's just not recommended by Ruggable.

@@thediymommy I have the same issue. I have several Ruggable and washable rugs and I can't vacuum any of them. I have tried 5 different types of vacuums/manual sweepers. None work. The only thing that has worked great but a pain to clean is my Tineco wet/dry vacuum. What do you use???!

Thanks for sharing. I was wondering what they were like.

I was suggesting this for my friend who has a dog and has large rugs on her hard wood. I’ll take a look at their pricing. Thanks!

We recently bought a Ruggable rug for our living room but it wasn't the right colour and sadly I needed to exchange it. Unfortunately they don't offer exchanges to customers in Canada, so I had to ship the rug cover back as a return which cost me a little over $170.00 and then purchase a new one. I hope that as the company grows they can offer other return and exchange options for those outside of the USA.

Someone suggested that due to the cost of returning the rug, they just advertised it on social media, and it sold immediately, and the person buying it didn’t have to wait weeks for delivery. Just a thought…

Great video! I've always been curious about these but have not taken the plunge. Good to know that the largest ones might not fit in regular washing machine.

Thankyou a very helpful video

A trick for rug corners flipping up that I have used is: take a glass of water, set it on the corner. Then, put an ice cube or two on the area, and once it melts, the glass of water weighs down the corner, and it dries flat!!

@katiebestevaar7948

Sounds great - does the ice just go straight onto the rug, is that what you mean?

The light gray one I purchased, the big 9x12 one I think...it gets walking path and washing it at the laundrymat did not work. But it does clean with a Bissel steam cleaner. I'm one person in my house.

Good to know, thanks. I'm not crazy about the idea of shaking out vs vacuuming, but great that option comes with base pad! Runners would be my choice also, in hearing your review. Thanks again, enjoy your weekend ❤ Which one is your black and white runner bold print?

You can put baking soda in your wash machine for odors

We purchased our first Ruggable runner this spring for our kitchen and I love it! We got the extra cushion-y underpad for extra comfort when washing dishes or prepping meals. We love it. It has a light beige background with a light grey and peach pattern. We have washed it once and spot clean it as needed. We did throw it in the dryer. It came out beautifully. Our iRobot vacuum cleaner sometimes flips up the corners of the rug but usually this is not an issue and they are easily flipped back and lay flat. Ours does have the corner reinforcement. Would I get another runner? Absolutely! I’m thinking about one for my front entrance and a smaller mat for my back door. (Just waiting for a sale 😊) I think if I were to buy a larger rug I would look at the newer plush styles. I think that format would look more luxurious in a larger format size. But thanks for the size tip on fitting in the washing machine. And I do love your runner. It’s beautiful!

Your kitchen runner sounds beautiful! I'm also curious about the plush rugs.

Informative video, but I have to disagree about using vinegar in your washer. I have been doing it for 30+ years and it has never damaged my washer.

i absolutely adore that black 6x9 one you have in your vacation rental. gorgeous pattern with the line art and the flowers i love it

I ordered 2 of the one you showed in a cabin you were redoing. (W teal kitchen appliances). I have them in my kitchen. ❤️ the runners too! I simply use water for spot clean. Works great.

Where do I buy this rug? Thankyou!

The curling at the corners is obnoxious but if you put a few ice cubes on the corners and weight it down with a shoe or something it will flatten right out

Thank you for sharing this. I've always wanted one but wasn't sure if they were worth the hype. Do you know if they're nontoxic? Thank you 🙂

@@thediymommy thank you so much! Vital information for me 🙂

I have 3 of them but the one with the thicker underpad in the kitchen moves/creeps all the time. It is on laminate floor so I can’t figure out how to fix it. Have contacted support and they are now suggesting Velcro. Have you heard of anyone doing that. Thanks.

❤❤

Any suggestions cause mine always look wrinkled no matter what. I three dogs. I also bought mine probably three years ago.

Does it feel nice to walk on? They look so thin. I like a bit of pile under foot and I worry this wouldn’t have a soft feeling. Maybe that comes from the underpad?

@aoefeable

They have two different depths for the under-pad that you can order depending on your preference.

I love mine in my bath and it washes beautifully!

I have 7 of them of variable sizes. They ALL move. I had them on a ln awful hardwood floor that we replaced and now on a new one. They slide. It’s so aggravating.

Weve had our Ruggable rug for almost three years. I love it!! Its not as white as it was but that's not its fault - it's our water. It washes well but I probably should take it to a laundry mat and have it professionally cleaned and away from our rusty water.

What is the material?

@thediymommy

10 ай бұрын

The topper is polyester.

I have a large round Ruggable and the entire edge is a trip hazard. I have had it for a year and would not recommend. I have two rectangular Ruggable rugs and would not recommend any of them since there are many washable rugs on the market now which are better options.

I'm not impressed with the Ruggable runner I had. Brand new out of the box, the binding around the edges was ragged and had loose threads that I had to melt with a lighter to keep them from coming undone and fraying further.

Not pleased with mine. Stains/spills have not come up with hand washing. Too big to fit in washer
