Welcome to the Fabulive Q&A series, where we dive into your most frequently asked questions about rugs, interior design, and how to create a home that feels both beautiful and livable. Whether you're decorating a brand-new space or giving your favorite room a refresh, there's one element that can instantly elevate your design: a rug. And not just any rug—we’re talking about the ultimate multitaskers in home décor—washable rugs.
This week, we’re placing the spotlight on one of the most talked-about trends in home design: washable rugs. These aren't just trending for no reason—they’ve completely revolutionized the way we think about decorating high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, nurseries, kitchens, and even entryways.
Why Washable Rugs Are the Best Choice for Modern Homes
If you've ever hesitated to lay down a beautiful rug because of messy kids, muddy paws, accidental spills, or everyday wear and tear—you're not alone. That's exactly why washable rugs have become an essential solution for busy households. They offer the perfect blend of form and function: you get all the visual appeal of a traditional rug without any of the stress when life gets messy.
From busy parents managing toddler chaos, to pet lovers dealing with fur and accidents, to homeowners who simply want easy-to-clean pieces that look great—washable rugs for high-traffic areas have become the go-to choice. They’re lightweight, durable, and easy to toss in the washing machine when needed, making rug maintenance simpler than ever.
The Best Washable Rugs for Homes of Every Style
Today’s washable rugs come in a wide variety of styles, textures, and sizes. Whether you're into chic neutral palettes, bold vintage-inspired patterns, or playful designs perfect for kids’ rooms, there’s a stylish machine washable rug out there to match your vibe.
And the best part? You don’t have to spend a fortune. There are countless options for affordable washable rugs online that don’t skimp on style or quality. You’ll find everything from classic medallion motifs to minimalist flatweaves and textured neutrals that make your home feel cozy, polished, and pulled together.
How to Clean Washable Rugs (and Keep Them Looking Fresh)
One of the most common questions we get is: How do you clean washable rugs? The answer: it's easy! Most washable rugs are designed to fit into a standard washing machine. Simply follow the care label instructions—usually, it’s as simple as cold water, gentle cycle, and air drying.
For quick in-between refreshes, you can vacuum, shake them out, or spot-clean as needed. Many people even layer them over jute or sisal base rugs for a designer look, which also helps reduce wear and makes it easier to swap out styles with the seasons.
If you're worried about slipping, don’t forget to add a non-slip rug pad underneath for extra comfort and safety—especially on hardwood or tile floors.
Why More Homeowners Are Making the Switch
We’ve seen an explosion in demand for washable rugs over the past year—and it’s easy to see why. They bring a stress-free approach to decorating that’s perfect for modern life. They're ideal for renters who want a no-fuss, removable decor solution. They're a lifesaver in homes with small children. And they’re a game-changer for anyone who’s ever had a rug ruined by a red wine spill or muddy dog prints.
In fact, many of our customers tell us that once they try a washable rug, they never go back. It’s one of those “why didn’t I do this sooner?” moments in home design.
Q: Can All Washable Rug Sizes Fit in a Washing Machine?
Yes—surprisingly, they really can! One of the best things about our Fabulive washable rugs is that every size we offer—from small 2' x 3' rugs to large 8' x 10' area rugs—is designed to fit into a regular, non-commercial washing machine. That means no trips to the laundromat, no renting special equipment, and no expensive dry cleaning bills. You can clean your rug at home, whenever it works best for you. Easy, right?
We hear this question all the time: "Can big rugs really fit in the washer?" And the answer is a big YES. Thanks to our smart design and lightweight materials, even the largest sizes fold up easily and fit right into your washer and dryer. You don’t have to deal with bulky, heavy rugs or complicated multi-piece sets. It’s a simple, one-piece solution that works for real life.
Pro Tip for Washing Large Rugs
When washing bigger rugs—like a 6' x 9' or 8' x 10'—we suggest folding the rug in an accordion style before placing it in the washing machine. This little trick helps balance the weight and gives you a better, more even clean. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.
Why It Matters: Washable Rugs vs Traditional Rugs
If you’ve owned a traditional rug before, you already know the struggle. Spills, stains, and pet messes can turn a beautiful rug into a cleaning nightmare. And unless you want to haul it to a cleaner or pay a lot for professional help, you’re stuck. That’s why washable rugs are such a game-changer.
When you compare washable rugs vs traditional rugs, the difference is clear. Washable rugs are designed for real homes—with pets, kids, guests, and everyday life. They’re easier to clean, quicker to refresh, and far more convenient than traditional rugs. And when the rug looks clean, your whole space feels better.
Pet-Friendly Washable Rugs That Keep Life Simple
If you’re a pet parent, you know the messes come with the territory—muddy paws, shedding fur, the occasional accident. That’s why we love pet-friendly washable rugs. You don’t need to worry about stains or smells. Just toss the rug in the wash and enjoy a fresh, clean surface again and again.
Our rugs are made with durable, lightweight materials that can handle regular washing without fading or falling apart. They’re colorfast, so they stay looking great even after many laundry cycles.
Ideal for Every Room in Your Home
One of the biggest benefits of Fabulive’s washable rugs? You can use them in any room—big or small. That’s right. Thanks to their machine-washable design, you don’t have to limit rugs to “safe” spaces like an entryway or office anymore. Go ahead and put one in your:
Living room – Where all the action happens
Dining room – Because spills are just part of the fun
Nursery or kids’ room – Where washable = peace of mind
Bedroom – For comfort and easy cleaning
Hallways or stairs – High-traffic zones made stylish and low-maintenance
Being able to toss even your largest rug in the washer means you can confidently use rugs throughout your home. And yes, even those 8' x 10' beauties are designed to fit!
Built to Last—and Wash Again and Again
We’ve engineered our rugs with quality in mind. They’re made to be eco-friendly washable rugs, which means they’re not only reusable but also made from sustainable materials where possible. You can feel good about choosing a rug that’s easy on your floors and the planet.
No matter how many times you wash them, these rugs stay soft, stylish, and intact. Whether you’re dealing with a pet mess or a toddler’s juice spill, your rug will bounce back—looking as good as new.

Q: What Are the Best Cleaning Instructions for Washable Rugs?
Fabulive's washable rugs have truly transformed the way we care for our homes. No more dragging heavy rugs outdoors for scrubbing or spending a fortune on professional cleaners. Whether it's snack spills, pet paw prints, or daily dust, cleaning your rug is now as easy as tossing it into the washing machine. Yes, really!
If you’ve ever wondered, “Can washable rugs go in the dryer?”—you’re in the right place. Here's a simple, step-by-step guide from Fabulive on how to clean and care for your washable rug the right way.
Step 1: Shake or Vacuum Before Washing
Before you wash, give your rug a good shake outside to remove loose debris, crumbs, or pet hair. For bigger rugs, a vacuum does the trick just as well. This step helps prevent clogging your washer and ensures a more thorough, effective clean.
This is especially important for Fabulive’s plush bedroom rugs, which can trap dust more easily in their soft fibers.
Step 2: Wash in Cold Water with Gentle Detergent
Next, roll or fold your rug and place it in the washing machine. Set your machine to a cold water, gentle cycle to protect the rug’s fibers and the non-slip backing.
Use a mild, bleach-free detergent—preferably fragrance-free. Harsh chemicals can weaken your rug’s construction, especially the grip backing that keeps it securely in place.
This method is perfect for allergy-prone households, busy families, or anyone who wants stylish rugs without the high-maintenance cleaning routines.
Step 3: Air-Dry or Use No-Heat Dryer Setting
You can put your Fabulive rug in the dryer—but only with the no heat or air-only setting. Heat can damage the rug’s backing or cause shrinking.
The safest and most recommended option is air-drying. Lay your rug flat in a well-ventilated area or hang it gently to dry. This keeps its shape intact and avoids any damage to the non-slip material.
Smaller or lightweight rugs? Feel free to use the air-only cycle in your dryer for quicker results—no heat necessary.
Step 4: Flatten and Smooth Out Any Wrinkles
After washing and drying, it’s normal for your rug to have a few wrinkles or folds. Just lay it flat and let gravity do its magic. If needed, you can use a low-heat steamer or iron, placing a towel between the rug and the heat source for safety.
This is especially helpful with Fabulive’s no-curl washable rugs, designed to stay smooth and in place for everyday use.
Extra Care Tips from Fabulive Experts
Want to keep your Fabulive rug looking like new for the long haul? Here are a few extra maintenance tips:
Wash regularly—especially rugs placed in kitchens, hallways, or other high-traffic zones.
Spot clean between washes with a soft cloth, water, and a gentle soap.
Rotate your rug every few weeks to prevent fading or uneven wear from sunlight.
These small habits will keep your rug fresh, soft, and stylish for years.

Q: Do Fabulive washable rugs come with a base layer or detachable pieces?
At Fabulive, we keep things simple. Our washable rugs feature a one-piece design, so there’s no need to fuss with zippers, clips, or velcro. You won’t have to line up a rug top with a separate base or struggle to reattach anything after a wash. We’ve removed the hassle so you can focus on what really matters—enjoying a clean, stylish space with zero stress.
Each rug includes a built-in non-slip backing, which means it stays put—no sliding around on hardwood or tile floors. It’s perfect for high-traffic spaces, kids’ rooms, or homes with pets, and you don’t need to buy a separate rug pad. Of course, if you want a bit more cushion, feel free to layer a pad underneath for added comfort.
This one-piece setup is also great for small-space living. If you live in a rental or tight quarters, you’ll love how easily our washable rugs for apartments roll up for storage. Just roll, tuck, and unroll again when you're ready for a quick style refresh.
And the best part? These rugs come in a range of styles—from sleek thin washable rugs for under furniture to long washable runner rugs for hallways, and even colorful washable rugs that add a fun, lively pop to any room. Plus, they’re all stain-resistant washable rugs, so spills and messes are never a big deal.
Q: Are washable rugs comfortable and padded?
A: Absolutely—and they’re more versatile than you might think!
Washable rugs strike the perfect balance between style and practicality. While they’re generally slimmer than plush or high-pile rugs, they still add a soft, cozy layer underfoot—perfect for baby tummy time, casual lounging, or even stretching out for an at-home yoga session.
Think of them like a lightweight flat weave with a modern twist. Their thinner design is what makes them easy to clean and quick to dry. You’ll still enjoy comfort, but without the bulk that can make traditional rugs hard to maintain.
If you’re someone who loves extra cushion, it’s super easy to enhance comfort by adding a rug pad underneath. Not only does this boost softness, but it also adds insulation and sound absorption. Want to elevate your room’s aesthetic? Try layering your washable rug over a chunky jute or sisal base for added depth and style.
Bonus Care Tips:
Always use a gentle detergent for rugs to protect the fibers and colors during cleaning.
For best results, stick to air-drying washable rugs flat or hanging in a well-ventilated area.
If you're short on space, most rugs are dryer safe—just use the no heat setting to keep them looking their best.
To prevent rug shrinkage in the wash, wash with cold water on a delicate cycle.
Got creases after washing? No worries! You can remove wrinkles from washable rugs by laying them flat or using a steamer or low-heat iron with a towel barrier.
Q: What Styles of Washable Rugs Do You Offer? Are There Persian Designs Too?
A: Yes, definitely! We offer a wide variety of stylish, easy-to-clean washable rugs—and yes, we have Persian-inspired ones that look just like traditional heirloom pieces, but with modern washable convenience.
Whether you love bold patterns, calming colors, or classic elegance, our collection has something for everyone. You’ll find everything from vintage medallions to minimalist neutrals, from boho-inspired geometrics to kid-friendly patterns full of fun.
