The RELEANY washable area rug is a 5 by 7 foot low-pile rug in a brick, brown and green pattern, built so the whole rug goes in a home washing machine rather than out to a cleaner. The pile is short and dense, which is what lets it fold down small enough to fit a standard drum, and the backing is a non-slip rubberized layer that grips hardwood and tile without a separate rug pad. It is water repellent rather than waterproof, so spills bead long enough to blot before they soak through to the floor. Best fit: entryways, under a dining table, kids' rooms, and any house with a dog that comes in wet. The tradeoff is that low pile means it reads flat underfoot, so it is not the rug to buy if you want something plush to sit on.
Pros
- Folds small enough to fit a standard home washing machine, no cleaner trip
- Rubberized backing grips hardwood without needing a separate rug pad
- Water repellent surface gives you time to blot a spill before it reaches the floor
- Muted brick and green palette hides pet traffic better than a light solid
Cons
- Low pile means it lies flat and firm underfoot, not a plush rug to sit on
Frequently asked questions
Will a 5x7 rug actually fit in a regular washing machine?
Yes, the low pile lets it roll down small enough for a standard top or front loader. Use cold water on a gentle cycle and skip the fabric softener, which coats the fibers.
Does it need a rug pad underneath?
No. The backing is a rubberized non-slip layer that grips hardwood, tile and laminate directly. On very low-pile carpet you may still want a pad to stop creeping.
Can it go in the dryer?
Tumble dry on low or air dry. High heat can shrink the backing and cause the edges to curl, which is the most common complaint on washable rugs generally.
Is it safe for pets that have accidents?
The water-repellent surface buys you time to blot, and the full rug washes, so it handles accidents better than a traditional rug. It is repellent, not waterproof, so clean it up rather than leaving it.
