We have a few area rugs in the house that my cats target when they barf. The idea of a washable rug is appealing. From the reviews I've read, the one downside that concerns me is the rugs can be difficult to lay in larger sizes because of the velcro-like underpad. There were also some complaints about rug edges curling up and becoming trip hazards but I think the company is addressing that.
Before the pandemic closed up shops, I was working with an interior decorator to freshen up the interior with new furniture and paint and I mentioned that I needed pet proof fabrics on the furniture and pet proof rugs. She suggested indoor-outdoor rugs because they're easy to spot clean and they can be hosed off if they get really grungy. I bought one for the office as a trial run and consider it an option but still would prefer a rug I can toss in the washing machine. Indoor-outdoor rug came this morning. I spent $59 on it so no big loss if it doesn't work out.
