What makes a rug dog friendly?

The two things a dog does to a rug are accidents and traffic, and this fiber handles both. Heat-set polypropylene and polyester are stain and fade resistant, so a pee accident sits on the surface long enough to blot, then washes out with soap and water without leaving a ring or a smell in the pile. The pile is dense and low, so paws, mud and the daily run to the door vacuum out instead of grinding in, and there is no loop for a puppy to chew loose. No rug is indestructible, and we will not tell you one is. These forgive the ordinary life of a house with a dog in it, and they are the ones we put in our own.

Will it hold the smell after a pet accident?

Not the way wool does. Polypropylene and polyester do not absorb liquid, so an accident sits on the surface rather than soaking into the fiber, and once it is blotted and the spot washed with mild soap and water there is nothing left in the pile to smell. Act while it is fresh: what does reach the backing is harder to clear than what stays on top.

Are these rugs machine washable?

No. These are room-size woven rugs, not washable mats, and they are not made to go through a machine. They are made to be cleaned where they lie: vacuum with the beater bar off, blot spills as they happen, and wash the spot with mild soap and warm water.

Do these rugs ship free?

Yes. Every order ships free within the contiguous United States with no minimum, and tracking is emailed at dispatch. Rugs of 9' x 12' and larger go by freight carrier, which involves a call to book the delivery.
