Quick answer
Machine-wash your Sonia Sand & Ocean Rug on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent, then air-dry flat to preserve its pattern and water-resistant coating.
Why proper washing matters for this rug
The Sonia Sand & Ocean Rug features water-resistant and stain-resistant properties that can be maintained with the right washing routine. Using harsh detergents or high heat can break down these coatings over time.
The rug's hand-painted geometric design by Justina Blakeney is printed with high-quality inks. Gentle care prevents fading or distortion of the intricate pattern.
Step-by-step washing instructions
- Shake or vacuum the rug first: Remove loose dirt and debris by shaking the rug outdoors or vacuuming both sides with a brush attachment. This prevents dirt from embedding deeper during washing. Common mistake: skipping this step can leave grit in the fibers that may scratch the surface during the wash.
- Machine wash on gentle cycle with cold water: Use a front-loading or top-loading machine without an agitator. Add a small amount of mild liquid detergent—avoid bleach or fabric softener. Wash the rug alone or with similar colors. Checkpoint: cold water keeps the colors vibrant and the water-resistant layer intact. Hot water can cause shrinkage.
- Air-dry flat after washing: Lay the rug flat on a drying rack or clean surface away from direct sunlight. Avoid the dryer, as high heat can warp the backing and fade the design. Common mistake: hanging the rug while wet can stretch it unevenly. Always dry flat to retain the original shape.
