FAQs on How Ruggable Rugs Work
How do Ruggable rugs work?
Ruggable rugs are made to handle real life—easy to maintain, washable, and designed to stay in place. Routine care includes vacuuming and spot cleaning, and when a deeper clean is needed, every Ruggable rug can go in the wash.
Ruggable offers two innovative rug systems:
All-in-One Rug System: A single washable rug with a built-in nonslip backing. No separate pad required. This system includes Tufted, Plush, and Performance Weave and is washed as one complete piece.
Two-Piece Rug System: A removable Rug Cover that attaches to a nonslip Rug Pad using a reusable cling-like layer. This system includes our Flatwoven, Rejute, and Outdoor rugs. Simply remove the Cover to wash, then reattach it to the Pad. Covers are interchangeable, making it easy to refresh your space.
What makes Ruggable rugs stay in place?
Both rug systems use nonslip technology to help keep rugs in place during everyday use:
All-in-One Rug System: Features a built-in nonslip backing.
Two-Piece Rug System: Uses a grippy nonslip Rug Pad that anchors the rug to the floor.
The backing keeps the rug from shifting on hard floors during everyday use, including busy households, kids, and pets.
Do Ruggable rugs require a pad or come with one?
It depends on the system:
All-in-One Rug System: No pad is required. The nonslip layer is already built into the rug.
Two-Piece Rug System: Yes. The nonslip Rug Pad is required and is included with your first Rug Cover purchase as a set. After that, you can purchase additional Covers separately and reuse the same Rug Pad.
What rug pads does Ruggable offer?
Standard Rug Pad (Required for Two-Piece Rug Systems) Designed specifically for the Two-Piece Rug System, the Standard Rug Pad uses Ruggable’s Cling Effect™ technology, allowing the Rug Cover to be detached and reattached without losing grip.
Required for all Two-Piece Rug Systems
Compatible with Flatwoven, Re-Jute, and select styles (excluding Outdoor)
Best for high-traffic areas
Not compatible with All-in-One Rugs
How do you wash a Ruggable rug?
Washability depends on the system, but the steps are straightforward:
All-in-One Rug System: Place the full rug in a compatible washer (smaller sizes fit standard washers; larger sizes need a large-capacity machine). Wash cold, dry on low or air-dry, then lay it flat again. For a full step-by-step guide, see our Ruggable washing instructions.
Two-Piece Rug System: Peel off the Rug Cover, scrunch it gently, place it in the washer, wash cold with mild detergent, then tumble dry on low or air-dry. Put it back on the pad once completely dry. For outdoor rugs and doormats, air-drying is often preferred and helps preserve performance in high-moisture areas.
Do Ruggable rugs actually fit in the washer?
Yes, as long as the rug size matches the capacity of your washer:
Small washers (2.4–3.4 cu. ft.): Suitable for small rugs and runners only.
Standard washers (3.5–4.4 cu. ft.): Suitable for small and medium Ruggable rugs (2'x3' through many 5'x7's).
Large-capacity washers (4.5+ cu. ft.): Suitable for larger rugs up to 8'x10'.
Very large rugs ( 9'x12' , 10'x14' ): Require a commercial or laundromat washer.
