I like to live dangerously, so I ordered a beautiful ivory/cream rug for the most high-traffic area of my toddler-occupied, dog-friendly house: the front foyer next to the kitchen.
Call me crazy, but Ruggable claims that their beautiful rugs are spill-proof and stain-resistant, so I figured it was with a shot.
Well, I tried to stain my Ruggable in pretty much every way possible (and I’m to blame). Here’s what happened when these four things got all over my Ruggable:
Level 1: Mud
A foyer rug is bound to get muddy at one point or another. After a week of rain, my brand new ivory rug was covered in muddy pawprints and beginning to look like my backyard: brown and wet. I for sure thought I’d have to get rid of it.
To my surprise, a lot of the mud dried up and was easily vacuumed away. And for the pawprints that wanted to stick around a little longer? The washing machine took them right off in just one regular wash cycle with mild detergent, dried on low heat. Pretty impressive, Ruggable.
Level 2: Food and drink spills
Did you know that coffee and tea can be used as dye? In middle school, I made paper look old by curling the edges and dyeing them with tea bags.
I may not be in middle school anymore, but that didn’t stop my tea from trying to dye my new rug. I accidentally tripped over the dog and spilled everywhere. As I stood there wondering if I could just dye the whole thing to blend the tea color, I realized something: the washing machine exists.
I peeled the rug from the pad, and to my surprise, none of the liquid had soaked through to the pad. When it came out of the wash, there wasn’t a single spot of liquid left.
Level 3: Crayons
My toddler was given a pack of crayons by a kind server recently, and it didn’t take long for her to find her new canvas: my Ruggable rug. I briefly considered keeping the intensely colorful, yet very unflattering, family portrait on our foyer rug, but I couldn’t come to terms with the nose she gave me.
Into the washing machine the rug went! When it came out, it was a blank canvas again, and I canceled my consultation with the plastic surgeon.
Level 4: Blood
Are you even a chef if you don’t slice your finger open every once in a while? I don’t know why we keep the Band-Aids three rooms over from the kitchen, but I hurried through the foyer and into the powder room without much thought.
Unbeknownst to me, several drops of blood formed on my beautiful Ruggable rug. By the time I managed to get a Band-Aid on my finger, the blood had stained it—or so I thought.
My husband threw the rug in the washing machine—which I didn’t even realize he knew how to use—and to our surprise, the blood was GONE. I could commit a crime and Ruggable would cover for me.
I’m redecorating every room with a Ruggable rug
I thought that no rug, especially one that’s cream-colored, would ever be a match for my family. Ruggable proved me wrong. It truly is indestructible and lives up to their claims of being liquid and strain resistant.
