The machine capacities in the table are recommended minimum values. If possible, a washing machine with a larger capacity should be preferred to allow your rug to move freely and be cleaned effectively. Always check the instructions on the product's care label before washing.

How to Determine Your Load Capacity

First, find your machine's model number. Then, type your machine's model number into a search engine to find its load capacity.

Frequently asked questions

Can Ruggi rugs be machine washed?

Yes. You can machine wash your Ruggi rug according to the care instructions. Use cold water, a delicate cycle, and a mild, bleach-free detergent.

Make sure the rug's size is compatible with your washing machine's capacity. Do not force the rug into the machine.

How should I wash my Ruggi rug?

Before washing, vacuum any dust, hair, and surface debris from the rug using low suction power.

Then:

  1. Place the rug in the washing machine evenly and without cramming it.
  2. Wash the rug separately from other laundry.
  3. Select cold water and the delicate wash cycle.
  4. Use a mild, bleach-free detergent.
  5. After the cycle is complete, check that the rug is clean and not retaining excessive water in the machine.
Which detergent should I use?

Use a mild, bleach-free detergent suitable for delicate items. Do not use bleach, harsh stain removers, or fabric softeners. These products can negatively affect the rug's color, texture, or backing structure.

Can I wash my rug with hot water?

No. We recommend washing your Ruggi rug with cold water. Hot water can affect the rug's size, texture, or backing structure.

Can I wash my rug with other laundry?

We recommend washing your rug alone. Washing it with towels, bedding, or heavy clothing may cause the machine to become unbalanced, the rug to not be cleaned sufficiently, and the drying time to be prolonged.

How should I load my rug into the washing machine?

Place the rug loosely and evenly inside the drum, without compressing it. The rug needs to be able to move inside the drum.

Do not start the wash if the lid closes with difficulty, the rug is completely jammed in the drum, or your machine's stated load capacity is exceeded.

Will my rug fit in my home washing machine?

This doesn't solely depend on the rug's dimensions. The rug's weight, texture, the amount of water it will absorb when wet, the drum volume, and your machine's kilogram capacity are also determining factors.

Small and medium-sized rugs may be compatible with many home washing machines. Large rugs, however, may require a higher capacity machine. For definitive information, check the maximum load capacity in your washing machine's user manual.

How can I find out my washing machine's capacity?

Your machine's kilogram capacity is usually stated on a label inside the door, in the user manual, or on the manufacturer's website. You can also find capacity information by searching with the model number.

If you are unsure, follow the washing machine manufacturer's instructions.

What should I do if my rug doesn't fit in my washing machine?

Do not force the rug into the machine. A jammed rug may not be cleaned sufficiently, can unbalance the machine, and can damage both the rug and the machine.

Use a higher capacity machine or seek support from a professional laundry service with large capacity industrial machines. Before using their services, share Ruggi's instructions for cold water, delicate detergent, and low heat with the establishment.

How should I dry my Ruggi rug?

You can tumble dry your rug on low heat. A second drying cycle may be necessary depending on the rug's size, the machine's capacity, and the program duration.

Before placing the rug back on the floor, ensure that both the pile surface and the backing are completely dry.

How many drying cycles will my rug need to be completely dry?

There is no fixed number of programs for each rug. Drying time may vary depending on the size of the rug, its texture, the capacity of the machine, and the program duration.

After the first program, check the pile surface and especially the backing of the rug. If it is still damp, apply another program at a low temperature.

Can I air dry my rug?

You can leave especially small rugs to dry on a flat surface in a well-ventilated area. Do not lay the rug directly on the floor when wet and do not use it until it is completely dry.

Drying time may vary depending on the size of the rug, ambient temperature, and humidity.

Why is it important for the rug to be completely dry?

Moisture remaining in the rug can cause odors, slow drying of the surface, and adversely affect the backing structure. Therefore, before placing the rug on the floor, check that both its top surface and backing are completely dry.

Do Ruggi rugs shrink when washed?

When washed according to the care instructions, the rug is expected to retain its shape. However, washing with hot water or drying at high temperatures can cause dimensional changes, deformation, or affect the backing.

Therefore, always use cold water and low heat.

How should I deal with stains?

Do not wait to clean spills; blot them with a clean, light-colored, and absorbent cloth. Do not rub the stain; rubbing can cause the stain to spread or damage the fabric.

If you need to use a stain remover, first test the product on a small, inconspicuous area of the rug. Avoid products containing bleach and harsh chemicals.

How often should I wash my rug?

Washing frequency varies depending on the intensity of use, presence of pets, and the area where the rug is located. Regular vacuuming with low suction power is sufficient for daily care. Machine wash only when necessary.

How should I vacuum my Ruggi rug?

Use your vacuum cleaner on a low suction setting. To preserve the rug's softness and surface texture, avoid harsh, rotating, or abrasive vacuum heads.
