Ruggable Washable Rug vs Jute Cotton Hand Woven Area Rug

The Ruggable wins for households with kids, pets or spills, because the cover lifts off a separate base and goes in a home washer. The jute-cotton braided rug is the better pick for a calm, dry room where you want natural texture and a reversible, two-sided weave. Reviewers of Ruggable praise the washability but note the flat, low-pile feel and a cover that can shift or wrinkle on the pad. Jute-cotton owners like the rustic look and durability but report shedding, a rough texture underfoot and damage if it gets soaked.

• Choose the Ruggable if you need a rug you can actually machine wash after spills, pet accidents or muddy feet.
• Choose the jute-cotton braided rug if you want a natural, reversible, hand-woven look for a low-traffic, dry room.
