rug in front of sink
Comments (7)The thing with wool is that liquids don't soak into the fibers like it does with other fabrics. I wouldn't want to spill a cup of olive oil on it, but so far everything else just brushes/wipes off. I've tried a bunch of other floor coverings in the kitchen and it seems like they get gross for one reason or another - my various cotton rugs ended up really ratty after multiple washings (and sometimes with stains that just wouldn't come out), and I tried a couple foam mats that supposedly could be hosed off but they were awful (took forever to dry, the fibers matted and they never looked clean). And I tried the supposedly washable Jellybean rugs that were ruined after one washing - covered with lint and pills. I've had this one for 8 months and it still looks great -- my grandmother had a big one under the kitchen table and it looked great for more than a decade (with 6 grandchildren eating over it). Another option is a poly hooked rug - I have the one linked below in the sun room which gets foot traffic from the back yard and I really like it. Very soft but also easily cleaned with a vacuum or damp sponge. Hope that helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Indoor-Outdoor Hooked Rug...See Morenew kitchen sink rug
Comments (10)The rug doesn't have a "plastic" backing... and I have had one on wood floor since March last year. No problem what so ever. I chose the grapes, cause of the other grape stuff in my kitchen. After all, my grandpa had a winery. :) The front door rug looks like this: http://outdoorrugsonly.com/detail.php?id=JB-JC013 and the back door rug like this: http://outdoorrugsonly.com/detail.php?id=JB-HV001 Moni...See MoreWhat kind of rug do you have in front of your sink?
Comments (4)That one looks really great, I agree. I have really bad knees so I have a Chef's Gelmat in front of my sink and in front of my stove as well. It is the only thing that enables me to stand for any length of time. It is amazing, but I agree it doesn't look nearly as nice....See MoreKitchen rugs (small) for wood floors
Comments (4)It really depends on how big you want it. if you go to the website they show the rug kits and those can give you an idea of how big to get one. I have a 4x6 one in my kitchen. The really nice thing is that if someone spills something on one section that doesn't come off you just replace that part of it. I have kids and I use one with a LOT of white in my dining room and it actually looks fantastic, and this is after LOTS of food and melted ice cream etc being spilled on it :) I think some stores have some on stock but I have always ordered directly from them....See MoreRelated Professionals
