Washable rugs have gone from a clever interiors novelty to something of a godsend. Pets, children, muddy shoes, red wine, coffee: simply throwing an entire rug in the washing machine is a far more appealing prospect than attacking a mystery stain on your hands and knees.
Ruggable has long been the big name in the category, with its enormous choice of designs and its much-copied washable rug system. But increasingly, more affordable brands are moving into the same territory. Kukoon’s growing washable rug collection starts at a fraction of Ruggable’s prices, raising the fairly obvious question: do you actually need to spend hundreds of pounds on a washable rug?
