Is this rug really machine washable?

Yes, it is sold as a washable rug. An 8x10 is large, so check that your washer's drum can take it; otherwise use a commercial machine or a bathtub.

Does it need a rug pad?

It has a non-slip backing, so a pad is not required to keep it in place. A pad would still add cushioning, since the pile is low.

The low pile lets chairs slide and makes crumbs easy to vacuum. The 8x10 size fits a standard dining table with chairs pulled out.

No. It is made for indoor use only.

It is thinner and less plush than wool or shag, but it is easier to clean and washable, which those rugs are not.

The multicolored floral design breaks up the surface, so marks are less obvious than on a solid-color rug.
