Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer and the official start of "tracking the outside inside" season. Enter the washable rug, a lower-maintenance alternative to your average wool, shag, or jute number. (They're easily spot-cleaned and safe to toss in the laundry.)
Mashable has tested two of the biggest names in washable rugs — Ruggable and Tumble — and found both of their offerings to be durable, soft, and fairly priced. Conveniently, both brands also happen to be running Memorial Day sales this week.
Shoppers can take up to 20% off Ruggable's lineup by entering the coupon code MEMDAY at checkout, with prices starting from just $71.20 for 2 x 3 doormats with standard non-slip pads. (That includes all of its collections and collabs with Jonathan Adler, Iris Apfel, goop, and Morris & Co.) At the time of writing, all of the styles I checked were set to ship for free within a week.
Meanwhile, shoppers can save up to 30% on all of Tumble's washable rugs — no code required. (Just add a rug to your cart to activate its discount.) Its styles start at $83.30 for 3 x 5 rugs, which also come with cushioned pads, and orders should ship for free within two weeks.
It's worth mentioning that Ruggable's rugs are also available through Amazon, but the retail giant was stocking fewer styles with worse discounts when I last checked. For example, this 3 x 5 Impasto Slate Blue Rug (normally $139) is marked down to $111.20 on Ruggable's website with MEMDAY and $126.65 on Amazon.
If you're trying to decide between the two brands (and pricing isn't a deciding factor), know that Mashable's Dylan Haas likes Ruggable's wider selection of styles but Tumble's easier setup. Check out his deep dive into the differences between Ruggable and Tumble washable rugs for more intel.
