Can an 8x10 rug really go in a home washing machine?

Only in a large-capacity front loader, and often not at all. Most homes need a commercial laundromat drum or spot cleaning for a rug this size.

Does it need a rug pad?

A pad is recommended. It adds cushioning the low pile lacks and keeps the rug from sliding on hardwood or tile.

Yes. Low pile traps less hair and is easier to vacuum than shag, and the dark multicolor pattern hides marks.

It is thinner, cheaper to own and washable, but wool is denser, softer and longer lasting.

Usually within a week or two. Reverse-rolling or weighting the corners speeds it up.

This listing is the 8x10 black multicolor version; other sizes and colorways exist in the line.
