This rug is supposed to be machine washable and it isn’t. The backing isn’t flexible enough to fit it in my large-capacity front-load washer, and the care instructions don’t even include washing instructions. When I contacted the manufacturer about this, they told me it is washable, if you can fit it in, you can wash it UP TO 3 TIMES. Reader, would you buy a tshirt that could only be washed “up to 3 times”? If washable is in the name it should have clear care instructions and fit in a standard washer. We deserve better!
