Neon purple kinetic sand. Cheerios. Mud. Apple juice. Purple Magic Marker. The cheddar-paste-like filling from cheese crackers. These were all things smashed, rubbed and smeared into my West Elm rug, which happens to be a delicate shade of millennial pink with tones that are nearly ivory, like Essie’s Ballet Slippers.
Granted, it’s a washable rug, but I had my doubts that stains of this caliber, as ground-in as they were, would come out of such a light-colored rug. And yet, with little to no effort on my end, they did! Without sacrificing the rug’s softness either.
I can’t say that about most rugs I’ve tested over the past five years, which is why I had to put the West Elm Kids Boho Washable Rug on your radar. It’s the softest, most rug-like washable rug I’ve ever tested, and you need to know about it, too.
