Polyester in flatweave and machine-washable constructions offers one thing wool and polypropylene do not: the ability to go straight into a front-loader without damage. The Shay Grey Traditional Distressed Machine Washable Rug uses this property sensibly, pairing a grey colourway with a surface that comes out of the wash looking the same as it went in. It is a practical choice for children's rooms, pet households, and any space where maintenance schedule matters.

🧹 Care: Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water; do not use bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or lay flat to air dry away from direct sunlight. Use a non-slip rug pad beneath to keep the rug firmly in place on hard floors and protect the backing from abrasion.
