5 stylish washable rugs because kids (and adults!) are messy
Stylish rugs that can go in the washing machine? Yes, please.
There’s no denying it, kids are messy.
From spaghetti splatters to spilt drinks and toilet-training accidents, your flooring can really cop it.
Enter the washable rug. If you have kids, rugs that can be cleaned by popping them in the washing machine are a genius idea. Genius, we tell you!
Because stains and spills are inenvitable in a family home, washable rugs allow you and your kids (and your pet!) to eat, play, drink and have fun without stressing about mess.
You feel calmer already, right?
Washable rugs are typically constructed from polyester or other synthetic fibres, and have a lightweight, flexible design that allows them to be lifted and loaded into a washing machine.
The clever floor coverings come in a variety styles and sizes to match your home’s decor. So whether you’re looking for a rug for your living room, nursery or play room, you’ll be able to find the one that ticks all your boxes.
Parents everywhere: Washable rugs for the win!
Thicker and plusher than other washable rugs on the market, Miss Amara’s TUMBLELUX range of rugs are easy to move, fold and store away and are designed with a built-in underlay to prevent any slipping or tripping.
With fibres that are designed to be stainvincible, any stains, liquids and piddles won’t absorb; just get to the area, soak it up, throw it in the washing machine or give the area a thorough hand wash and it will be like it never happened.
Alex Tanya Weller, Co-founder and Creative Director of Miss Amara, designed the TUMBLELUX range of rugs with her kids in mind.
“Pre-pregnancy we were set on doing washables for fairly obvious reasons of practicality – but it was only after I got pregnant and became a mum I realised that actually the experience, feel and texture of the rug was something the market was missing,” explains Alex.
“I wanted my kids to have a soft beautiful landing for their little feet to play on. So we put the development on pause until I could deliver on exactly that and I couldn’t be prouder of the final product – known for its luscious thick pile.”
Spills are no problem with a washable rug.
