The Homeware Items Every Parent and Pet Owner Needs

Busy Lizzie @

If you have kids, pets or both, you know that dirt and mud inevitably find their way into your home! I’ve got my little Bob always running around all the time, so my home is no stranger to mess. And let’s face it, no-one has time to be constantly cleaning and scrubbing their floors (I know I certainly don’t!).

But luckily there’s plenty of household items out there that are total lifesavers at helping to keep homes clean. Let’s talk about some of my favourites shall we?

Washable Doormats

Let’s start at the front of the home with washable doormats. Kids and pets are always running in and out, bringing in mud, dirt and whatever else they’ve found on their outdoor adventures. A washable doormat is the perfect solution for keeping areas by the front and back door clean. Of course you know what washable doormat I’m going to suggest - a Hug Rug!

Whether it’s from dirty shoes or muddy paws, our Hug Rugs are perfect for trapping most dirt and moisture before they make it past the door. The best thing about them? When they get a bit mucky (which they will!) just pop them in the washing machine for results as good as new. Plus, opting for a Hug Rug means you don’t need to sacrifice style for practicality as they come in all sorts of lovely designs, patterns and colours.

Stain-Resistant and Washable Rugs

In a busy household with little ones and pets running around, a stain-resistant and machine washable rug is an absolute must, because let’s face it, accidents will happen! Drinks are bound to get spilled, crayons and paint will find their way to the floor and pets may have a little “oops” moment. We’ve all been there! A washable rug is built to handle all of this and more and will keep your floors protected from whatever’s thrown at them.

I’m sure you all know by now how passionate we are at Hug at Home about bringing you high quality, sustainable washable rugs. We’re always developing our range of products to bring you something new and wonderful and our latest Hug Rug Sense and Hug Rug Eco-washable rugs collections are no exception. Both collections are gorgeously stylish, made from eco-friendly and durable materials and have stain-resistant properties. With one of our washable rugs in your home you won’t have to worry about spills and messes anymore.

Washable Runners

Our floors can take a beating, especially hardwood flooring that’s constantly getting scratched from the dogs' claws and kids’ toys being dragged around. That’s where our washable runners come to the rescue! They’re perfect for protecting high-traffic areas where most wear and tear happens like the hallway, kitchen and living room. These areas are also likely to get a bit messy from spills, dirt and debris, but a washable runner is ideal for absorbing and trapping it all. No matter how dirty a washable runner gets though, they’re fine to just be tossed in the washing machine, giving you one less thing to worry about keeping clean.

And not only are washable runners great for protecting your floor from scratches and messes but they also provide a comfy cushioned surface for your little ones to play on. Our Hug Rug runners are made from recycled cotton and have super soft tufts that feel great underfoot. Plus the eco-genics recycled plastic backing is non-slip so your kids and pets can run around safely without the risk of slipping and sliding!

So there you have it - a  few small purchases for your home that will save a lot of headaches! Swapping out your existing flooring solutions for washable ones is going to make your home so much more functional and prevent the hassle of dealing with stubborn stains and dirt. 

Your floors will soon thank you!
