When the only alternative to hiring a professional to clean your rug is figuring out to wash it by hand yourself, it’s tempting to turn a blind eye to the dirt and grime that’s accumulated over time. Wouldn’t life be easier if cleaning your home were as easy as, say, tossing a load of laundry into the wash? News flash: It can be.

Machine washable rugs aren’t new. But chic machine washable rugs? Those are. Some of our favorite brands now carry stylish buys that can be quickly tossed in the washer and tumble dried at the first sight of stain. Forget everything you knew about cleaning the old-fashioned way: Here are eight statement-worthy mats, rugs, and runners you can wash on laundry day.
