These 14 Washable Kitchen Rugs Can Stand Up To All Your Food Spills

Yes, you can just throw these rugs into the washing machine or wipe them down whenever they get dirty.

If there’s one area in your home that’s destined for spills and stains, it’s the kitchen floor — which means there’s no point in having a rug that won’t stand up to mess and isn’t easy to clean.

If you have yet to upgrade your kitchen rug or mat situation, you’ll take satisfaction in knowing that machine-washable and easy-wipe options are available aplenty.

You can see them for yourself in the list of really solid choices that we sourced down below. Find well-known rug brands with removable covers, one-wipe fatigue mats that are 100% waterproof, and soft woven rugs that can be thrown in the washer.

1. A Ruggable runner with a washable cover

Ruggable

Ruggable has changed the game when it comes to large-scale rugs that you would normally only be able to spot clean. On the website, you can choose from a variety of size, style, and pile options, and each rug is fitted with a lightweight and machine-washable cover that is both stain- and water-resistant. The cover is laid on top of a slightly soft non-slip pad so you don’t have to worry about it sliding around, even in high traffic areas. And, if you ever get tired of your rug design, you can simply select the "cover only" box featured on the bottom of each item page so you can swap out a different cover whenever you want. This particular floral runner comes in two color variations and size options, plus a variety of other sizes suitable for larger or smaller areas.
