Tree Reindeer Christmas Washable Rug vs Homespice Gingerbread Jute Braided Rug

Buy the Tree Reindeer rug if you want a festive, machine-washable floor covering for a busy holiday room. Buy the Gingerbread Jute rug if you want a small, natural-fiber accent that will last for years. The Tree Reindeer wins on stain resistance, pet tolerance and size range; the jute wins on material honesty and durability. Owners of the polyester rug praise the pattern but report permanent creases from vacuum packing, so plan to let it flatten.

• Choose the Tree Reindeer Christmas rug if you need a washable, stain-resistant holiday rug in a size that fits a real room, and you have pets or kids.
• Choose the Gingerbread Jute rug if you want a small handmade natural-fiber accent for a hallway or entry with wood floors.
