We Are Answering Important Questions About Washable Rugs

Ever wondered how washable rugs can seamlessly blend style with practicality in your New Zealand home? 

Keeping a rug clean doesn’t have to be a source of worry. Let’s ease those concerns about spills and stains! At Miss Amara, we’re excited to showcase our vibrant range of washable rugs that perfectly marry form and function. In this guide, we’ll tackle some key questions to help you understand, choose, and style your washable rugs.

Getting to know washable rugs

What materials are used in washable rugs?

Washable rugs are usually crafted from robust fibers like cotton, polyester, and wool, as well as polypropylene and nylon. These materials are chosen for their resilience and ease of care, and they can handle anything from a spilt flat white to muddy paws.

At Miss Amara, we make sure that our machine-washable rugs are made of top-quality materials.

Our TUMBLRUGS collection, in particular, offers options in polyester, cotton, and wool. This means you can choose the perfect texture and style to match your home’s vibe and your lifestyle’s demands. Regardless of whether you’re decking out a cosy nook or sprucing up a high-traffic hallway, our rugs provide both the functionality and aesthetic you need.

How durable are washable rugs?

Washable rugs are crafted to endure regular cleaning and busy household activities, thanks to the materials you typically find in them.

Polyester rugs, for instance, resist stains, fading, and wear, making them a fantastic choice for high-traffic areas. Wool rugs are true titans of durability, as they can maintain their shape and vibrant colour for years. Cotton rugs blend comfort with resilience and can handle frequent washes with ease.

Aside from style, durability is key here at Miss Amara. Our TUMBLRUGS collection takes this to the next level with its ‘stainvincible’ feature. No matter the mishap – be it spills or splashes – these rugs are equipped to handle it. Just a quick wash, and they’re as good as new. 

So, no matter if you’re in a bustling family home in Auckland or a chic apartment in Wellington, our wool rugs and cotton rugs offer both style and long-lasting durability that’s perfect for every Kiwi household.

How and where to use the best washable rugs

You can start in the kitchen and allow kitchen washable rugs to catch spills and splatters with ease. Placed by the sink or stove, they make clean-up effortless and keep your cooking space pristine. On the other hand, washable bathroom rugs are essential for keeping the floor dry and safe since they provide a non-slip surface that’s perfect for wet areas.

In larger living areas, washable area rugs are invaluable. They define spaces and anchor furniture arrangements without the worry of permanent stains. Similarly, washable round rugs break up the linear monotony of your space by adding a soft, dynamic touch to any room.

Extend this comfort outside with washable outdoor rugs. They help create inviting seating or dining areas that mirror the cosiness of your indoor environments.

For a touch of versatility, washable throw rugs add colour and texture wherever you need them – be it draped over a chair for a cosy nook or spread out in a play area for the kids. Lastly, if you want to welcome guests with both style and durability, washable runner rugs are perfect for protecting floors in high-traffic hallways and entryways.

Can I throw my washable rugs in any washing machine?

Not so fast! While cleaning washable rugs is a breeze, it’s essential to consider your machine’s capacity. Not every machine can handle the size and weight of a rug.

At Miss Amara, we’ve got you covered. We provide clear guidance on how to check which washing machines can handle the job. So, you can toss your vibrant, cosy rug into the wash while knowing it’ll come out looking as fabulous as the day you first unrolled it in your space.

How do I keep my washable rugs from moving?

Ever had a washable rug that just wouldn’t stay put? We know how frustrating that can be, especially in a bustling Kiwi home. To keep your rugs firmly in place, consider choosing options with non-slip backing or adding a rug underlay to your setup.

Here at Miss Amara, we’ve thought of everything to ensure your rugs not only beautify your space but also contribute to its safety and functionality. Our range includes premium rug underlays designed specifically to prevent sliding, no matter the surface beneath.
