How to care for a RUGGABLE to make it LAST!!!!!

[@scottbrown7071]

That pattern rug looks beautiful, and your animals are adorable! Thanks for the helpful tips!

[@fworrilow]

Thanks for the tip about air dying. I hadn't thought of it before and this my first washing of my Ruggable.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

How did it wash up for you?

[@fworrilow]

@@theinteriorlyfe2043 it doesn't lay as perfectly as it did before, but it's clean. I actually had to run it about 6 times before it wasn't dripping wet.

Sweetest fur baby ever ❤❤❤ so helpful. I ordered my first Ruggable so this helps with setting it up too - thank you 😊

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

You’re welcome! And yes, she always has to be in the middle of everything! I think she is in almost every video I’ve done since we got her two years ago. 😂

[@nancyfinnerty8250]

Just bought my first Ruggable and this video gave me some great tips thank you👍

[@nitrapalmer]

Thank you for sharing! I just bought my first ruggable today. Your puppy is adorable.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I have 3 ruggables now and just ordered a 4th. The first 3 came in about a week. The one I just ordered is looking like it won’t arrive till after the new year. I’m sure it’s supply chain issues like everything else! 🥴

Love your helper!

[@lizbarbour510]

God bless your so patient. I think your fury baby was just supervising lol.

[@MariaKarras]

Thank you for this clear and easy to follow video.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sandrastephens1508]

Thank you very much. I’m going to be buying a couple of these. Nicely done. Sandra 🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇨🇦

I love your video demo. Great ideas presented clearly, quickly, and thoroughly! Thank you!

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I’m glad you liked it, and thank you for your kind words!

[@randomreviews569]

That dog loves you.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Oh she’s a daddy’s girl actually!

[@adriennewilliams2368]

Thanks going to wash my rug tomorrow great tips

[@nancychestnut8928]

Sorry but I couldn't stop laughing! Dogs always want to help! Cats too!

[@peggyboedecker6715]

Hi there, I only watched the regular video and saw this after I put my rug in for its first wash. I put it in cold water and a gentle cycle. We’ll see how that comes out. Glad to hear about the air dry and will do that. Thank you for the video. A new subscriber

[@peggyboedecker6715]

I meant to say the Ruggable video, not regular video

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thank you and I’m glad you found it helpful!

[@jessicad2446]

The dog velcros too, lol. My ACD is the same way. She's stuck to my hip.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

She’s only stuck to me till her daddy gets home! Then I’m forgotten. 😜

[@amyk8335]

I just ordered a ruggable yesterday. I hope we love it. It’s the same pattern as yours, well, sort of. It’s the Star Wars version but I agreed to it since the pattern is subtle. I’m hoping it isn’t tacky 🤣 but my husband and daughter are excited.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I’ve seen the Star Wars ones! Yes they are very subtle, I wouldn’t have known!

[@Seemstobereal]

Great video

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thanks!

[@melissas9543]

Omgn thank you for the tip for the dyson! Idk why I never thought of that and hated I couldn’t use my dyson on it cause the suction lol

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Actually I now just sweep it with a broom! It works great to get all the dirt and pet hair off and saves my from crawling around on the floor!

[@barbmcnemar2811]

very helpful - ours is 6 x 9...hoping it will fit in the washer.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I have a 9x12 now and it fit. If your washer is small, you may have to do a couple of washes and flip move it around inside to make sure it’s getting clean.

[@dianakelley1339]

So helpful

[@bellatronm5875]

Hey Beth, It was a lovely video. I'm just wondering, has your dog ever had a pee accident on the rug? If yes, does the rug pad underneath get wet too? Please let me know, thank you!

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Thank you! Our dogs have not. The cats have thrown up on it though. The top layer has a sort of rubber backing to keep anything from leaking through. That’s why it’s so important to air dry. It’s keeps the top layer from shrinking and making the edges curl.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I just want to let you know that our puppy did pee on the rug last week! She was just fixed and a little out of sorts. My husband cleaned it up Resolve carpet cleaner and it came completely out and did not soak through to the pad. I washed the rug the next day and it came out looking brand new!

[@bellatronm5875]

@@theinteriorlyfe2043 wow! You are so thoughtful, THANK YOU for remembering about me. I think my next step is to order one of these

[@kiwicat1960]

Your dog is hilarious!

[@marybethparr7805]

Thanks for the great tips. How many times have you washed it? I am installing mine today! I like the tip about folding into rectangle verses rolling.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

Oh goodness…maybe a dozen?

[@Every5Years]

Glad you filmed this! I don't own one but I've been curious about ruggable for awhile now. If I don't have an air dry setting on my dryer would you suggest you actually air dry it?

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I would put it on the lowest heat setting you have and remove it when it is barely damp. I’m always cautious with the backing or heating too much and curling edges. If you have nice weather and the space, you could totally dry it outside.

[@pattigirl8227]

My first ruggable is being delivered this week. I am concerned about the curling edges you addressed while you were in the drying cycle, may I ask which pile and which pad style is being used? Thanks! Wicked cute pup! We have a soon to be 16 year old yorkie. They are fun!

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I have just the standard rug and rug pad. Not the premium. I never dry my rugs with heat, only air. I now have a 9x12 (we got a sectional and needed a larger size) and I don’t dry that one at all because it is so big. I spin it 2x in the washer to get as much water out as possible and hang it over the banister of the upstairs loft. I point oscillating fans at it and turn on the ceiling fan in the loft. It’s dry within a few hours. I say dry, but more like slightly damp, when I put it back on the pad. I have 4 rugs for about 3 years, and none of my edges have curled.

[@SanDFinTX]

Is your rug within a high traffic area? I ask because we purchased a "knock-off" washable rug and boy, does it get dirty quickly - also, the pattern is rubbing off. Your rug was my first choice, but I didn't pull the trigger - I went cheap. Love your pup too!

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I’m so sorry, I just saw this! Yes, the area is very high traffic. I actually have a different one there now because we got a large sectional and needed a 9x12. It’s also a ruggable. The one in the video is in a different room now.

[@itsroads206]

Is the cover waterproof? We have an 11 year old boxer and her bladder isn’t what it used to be. As to why we are going to invest in a ruggable. Thank you.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I wouldn’t say the cover is water proof, but at little resistant. If you caught the accident right away, then it wouldn’t have time to soak through. The pad is water proof though.

[@itsroads206]

@@theinteriorlyfe2043 Oh yeah, I meant the pad. Great! Thank you!

[@liannedesrosiers4359]

My vacuum also has that problem. Not a Dyson.

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

I recently got the Dyson V16 Detect and it has a softer head meant for wood floors and I don’t have this issue anymore.

[@LindaHaury]

Does anyone know if you can steam clean a ruggable instead of washing it?

[@Mscocacola3]

Does anyone own one and has had any issues placing it on carpet instead of a wooden floor???? Does it stay flat? Or curl up?

[@emfs0528]

What size is your rug?

[@theinteriorlyfe2043]

8x10

[@myaneumann5749]

What is the size of your rug?

It’s an 8x10
