    yes,into the washer. use old towels too to help balance the load. if it has a rubber backing don’t put it in the dryer unless you plan to be there and take it out before it gets too dry and melts/burns the rubber. dry it alone with the old towel just in case it does start to melt. I would suggest just hang drying the rug though.

    Yes– I have noticed though that the rubber on the bottom seems to wear/flake off after about a year of washing.

    But I usually wash them every friday in the washer with some old t-shirts and towels to make sure the washer doesn’t get off-balance. Hope I helped!

    Ohh–I also do not dry them, I leave them on a chair or hanging in the closet with the dryer so the heat dries them but so the rubber doesn’t melt…
    Good luck!

    Yes I put mine in the washer and in the dryer all the time.It doesn’t hurt the rubber backing on the rugs.

  • tipstir:

    Gentle cycle for that.. Depends on what you got? Foam backing then Gentle with hot/warm. Anything else then you can use heavy duty cycle. Don’t mix it with sheets unless you want to get fuzz on your sheets.

    I wouldn’t want to put anything on the bathroom floor that COULDN’T be machine washed… ucky.

    Mine doesn’t have the rubber backing, but either way, launder often.
