Do any of you have a Ruggable rug?  I'm considering one for my living room.  I currently have a beautiful hand loomed, wool rug that our two German Shepard are destroying.  The little guy likes to chew and pull up the loops if you aren't watching him.  

 

 

I purchased a small one to try out near my sliders but I haven't put it down yet. At this point in my life, I just want something that's stain resistant, flat weave, and performance for this crazy household.  I can't have nice things.

My dad brought back Persian rugs when he worked in the Middle East (for my mother) many decades ago. They were handed down to me.  My border collie did the same thing and when they get older, feces and vomit do not come out of an old rug without destroying it.  I have Ruggable and don't look back.  I enjoyed all the years I had those beautiful rugs from Iran but that time is up, just as my time is winding down.  Ruggables are wonderful.  Don't hesitate.  You will miss the woolen rugs for a time but you will find the Ruggables too easy to care for and beautiful and you will get rave reviews from visitors.  Buy them and enjoy them. I have them in my public area, even in front of my stove area, under my DR table and my breakfast room table.  Easy peasy. 


@Nonametoday Thank you so much!  You've put my mind at ease.  Even though the Ruggables aren't as expensive as a quality wool rug, they're still an investment and I don't want to make another mistake.  May I ask, what you did with your Persians?  I bet they were gorgeous.

I gave them to a relative who is going to cut them down and make little scatter rugs and pillows from them.  Another lady told me I should have made handbags from them.  I don't want all that mess in my life at this point.  I just gave them away to someone who said they could use them. Mine had some stains that were not redeemable where my dog had seizures and ....well, you know what I mean.

@Nonametoday I do know what you mean!  I'm glad you were able to give them to someone who wanted them.  I'm like you.  I just don't want any of that mess in my life anymore.  Easy is what i am looking for!

I like mine. I have a runner in front of my kitchen sink. Just changed out to fall. Then in October I have a Halloween one with skeletons on it. I have a Christmas one with ornaments then after Christmas, I have one with snow flakes. I just got the longest runner for my hallway. I know they're on sale right now.

No experience with them but I have seen them and love the concept. 

 

As others have posted I too have a lot of indoor/outdoor rugs that can be taken out and washed/hosed off. I love them because they look nice and I always like having the option to really clean them at least once a year, just more hygienic and clean.

Also, some posters have noted how dull the ruggables look in person but I would personally find that a plus because I've bought too many rugs online just to find that in person they look too bright and "new"....I prefer the dull, aged, worn-in, patina-ed look of a duller rug. So that may be a plus for you as well....depending on the look you're going for.

@GingerHead I will keep that in mind.  I was scrolling through Amazon this afternoon and I saw a couple that were really lovely.  I think I want to try locally first.  I want to go to Home Depot, Lowes and Target to see if they have anything. There's also a huge store called Floor Decor but I don't recall seeing rugs in there but maybe I wasn't looking at the time.

I needed room sized rugs for my office, 2 bedrooms and our formal living room.  Since they do not get heavy traffic I bought them all from Wayfair. Pricing is good, quality is good for us, but these are not heavily used rooms. But the cats have a tendancy to pass furballs . . . and the rugs do not have stains, we've had them all for over 5 years.

We recently got LVP flooring and I thought the washable concept would be perfect, but then learned I can't use latex on my LVP; the huge base under the rug has latex so it's a no-go for me. Looking for some nice area rugs now.
