I have a love-hate relationship with Ruggable, the maker of a wildly popular washable rug. It addresses a common problem — rugs attract spills and stains; traditional rugs are too thick and made of materials too fussy to go in a washing machine, so each stain requires spot cleaning by hand. Ruggable solved that problem by creating a two-part system: a Velcro-like pad on the bottom and a stain-resistant printed top that’s thinner than a standard rug and can be detached and thrown in the wash.
