I would read the manufacturer's instructions, if you tore off the tag if you remember the manufacturer google it to find them.  

I put mine in the washer cold water and let them air dry.......

I rotate my kitchn rugs depending on the decor and the season that I decorate my kitchen with,  I have a cotton Yankee Sturbridge rug and the care is to take a garden hose and wash it down and lay flat to dry.   For their wool rugs they say use their spot remover or dry clean small rugs and professionally clean large wool rugs...........So it just depends on the material the rug is made of and manufacturer care instructions............................

I have no more tags on them.  I know I got them at Penneys.  That's about all I remember.  My next day off I am going to use the little machine on them and see how that works and go from there!  Thanks for posting!!!!

For grease spots, I would get out my Fels Naptha bar and go to town. West the spot well, wet the bar, and rub. I'd do this shortly before taking the rug(s) to the laundromat.

If I were washing them at home, I might treat them with a soak in OxiClean, but since I've found that sometimes leaches out color, might just stick to the Fels Naptha.

If the rugs have kitchen soil, as in grease, I'd also use the warm water setting when washing. Hanging to dry preserves stiching and yarn adherence in the rugs, and doesn't degrade the latex backing, if any, which a dryer will do eventually. Even time will render the latex crispy, unfortunately.
