Is this rug really machine washable?

Yes. Nourison markets the Washable Charm line as machine washable. Follow the care label, use a large-capacity machine, and let it air dry.

Does it need a rug pad?

A pad is recommended on hard floors. It adds grip, keeps the thin rug from sliding, and adds a little cushion.

A 5 x 7 ft rug works in small living rooms, under a dining table for four, or in a mid-size bedroom. It is too small to anchor a large sectional.

The low pile traps less hair and the rug can be washed, which helps with pets. The light ivory color will still show muddy paws quickly.

It is flatter and firmer, so it is easier to clean and safer for walkways. A plush rug feels softer but is harder to wash and traps more debris.
