Can a 5'x7' rug really go in a home washing machine?

Yes, but it needs a large-capacity or commercial machine. A standard top-loader may not fit it, especially when wet.

Does it need a rug pad?

No. The thermoplastic rubber backing provides grip on hard floors and most carpets, so a pad is optional.

Will it work over carpet?

It can, but the rubber backing grips best on hard floors. On thick carpet it may shift more.

Is the low pile good for dining rooms?

Yes. At 0.25 inches, chairs slide easily and crumbs are simple to vacuum up.

How do I wash and dry it?

Use cold water on a gentle cycle and air dry or tumble on low. Avoid high heat, which can damage the rubber backing.

Does the boho pattern come in other sizes?

The line is offered in several sizes, but this listing is the 5'x7' rectangle.

Our take on the Chitooma 5'x7' Boho Machine Washable Area Rug

The Chitooma Boho area rug is a 5'x7' machine-made, tufted rug with a low 0.25-inch pile and a thermoplastic rubber backing that keeps it from sliding. Its main draw is that it can go in a home washing machine, which is rare for a rug this size and unusual at the low-pile end of the market. The boho pattern suits living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas, and the low pile clears doors and chair legs. It competes with other washable rugs that are usually thinner and pricier per square foot; owners rate it highly, though the sample of ratings is small.
