A bathroom rug can do more than just provide a soft spot for your wet toes, a well-chosen rug can brighten and elevate the overall look of your space. You may be wondering how to clean bathroom rugs or how to wash bathroom mats, and you've come to the right place. Below we've highlighted the best ways to clean your bathroom rugs to keep them fresh and looking like new for years to come.
Bathroom rugs can be shaken out daily to remove dirt and hair. After you’ve shaken out the rug, sweep or vacuum the bathroom floor to make sure debris doesn’t get back into your rug.
Bathroom rugs can be vacuumed using suction only, so we recommend disabling the beater brush . For smaller rugs, it may be easiest to vacuum the rug using the upholstery attachment.
How you clean bathroom rugs depends on what your rug is made out of. Check the label of your bathroom rug to determine what your rug is made of and how it should be cared for.
Cotton and Synthetic: Many bathroom mats are made from cotton or synthetic fibers. If this is the case, you can simply toss your bathroom rug in the washing machine. Wash your rug with cold water on a gentle cycle. Once your rug is washed, hang it to dry. Allow your bathroom rug to dry completely before putting it back in place.
We don't recommend using hot water or drying your bathroom rug in a dryer as excessive heat may cause damage and ruin your rug.
Wool and Natural Fibers: A natural fiber rug like a wool runner or textured jute rug, can make a bathroom feel luxurious and sophisticated. But, natural fibers need a little more care when cleaning as they shouldn't be tossed in the washing machine. We recommend you clean your wool or natural fiber rugs by hand only. To do so:
