Child-safe, pet-friendly, and even spouse-resistant! Construction method: Machine Fabricated. Just place it in a standard washing machine on a gentle cycle using cold water and mild detergent, then dry on low heat or lay flat to air dry. Ideal for entryways, children's rooms, craft spaces, rental homes, or any high-traffic locations. A rug pad isn't necessary since these come with a non-slip backing. Product Note: Rugs may arrive with temporary wrinkles; allow time for them to smooth out and settle.
