Is the Florence runner really machine washable?

Yes. The rug is made of 100% polyester and sold as machine washable, so it can go in a home washer rather than needing a rental or professional clean. Follow the care label for cycle and drying.

Will it fit a standard hallway?

At 2.6 by 8 feet it is a true runner, sized for hallways, entryways and galley kitchens. Measure the walkway and any door swing before ordering, since 8 feet covers most but not all corridors.

Does it work in a house with dogs and cats?

The stain-resistant polyester and washability are the point: muddy paws and accidents can be washed out rather than spot-treated. The low pile also traps less hair than a shag.

Does it need a rug pad?

A pad is worth adding on hard floors. It keeps the light polyester runner from sliding and adds cushioning the thin pile lacks.

What colors are in the pattern?

The medallion and floral borders use navy, light green, cream, gray and tan on a gray ground. The distressed finish mutes them, so it reads soft rather than bright.

How does it compare with a wool runner?

Wool is denser and more durable underfoot but needs professional cleaning. The Florence trades that plushness for washability and stain resistance at a lower care burden.
