Stain-Resistant and Magazine-Worthy: Best Washable Kitchen Rugs

Best Kitchen Runner for Cold Feet

This high-pile runner singlehandedly rebukes the idea that you’ll need to trade off between plush and practical: Despite the fact that it clocks in at 1.5 inches thick, you’ll still be able to toss it in the washing machine. That’s not even to mention that this rug is actually two styles in one—flip it over for a completely different look.

Best Sustainable Kitchen Runner

This eco-friendly option from Revival mimics the organic aesthetic of jute—so much so, that you’d never know it’s actually made from 100% recycled polyester, and made in OEKO-TEXⓇ certified facilities. (This badge of honor guarantees that the product meets rigorous ecological and safety standards.)

Best Statement Kitchen Runner

Riding the maximalist wave? Us, too—which is why we’re drawn to this look-at-me kitchen runner designed by Jonathan Adler for Ruggable. (Translation: It’s peak design and practicality, as all of Ruggable’s offerings are machine-washable and non-slip.)

Best Classic Kitchen Runner

For traditionalists, this Persian-style rug ticks all the boxes—and is bound to bring a luxe feel to just about any kitchen. (The versatility doesn’t end there—take your pick from a variety of sizes and dimensions.)

Best Fast-Drying Kitchen Mat

Designed for mudrooms, patios, and yes, kitchens, this ultra-durable mat will withstand moisture and heavy traffic. It’s also backed with slip-resistant rubber, and 100% machine washable.

Best Tile Kitchen Mat

This customizable tile mat doubles as a fun art project—order your preferred colorway, and you’ll receive a bag of 150 tiles to dream up your own design. Need to clean your mat? Some dish soap and a bristle brush will do the trick.

Best Checkerboard Kitchen Rug

The checkerboard trend surges on—though we have a feeling that this handwoven jute iteration will stand the test of time. Choose from five colorways, and rest assured that this natural fiber rug is a breeze to clean.

Best Abstract Kitchen Rug

A rug that doubles as an art piece? Don’t mind if we do—and can we just say that this Jason Wu-designed rug would look stunning with a midcentury teak dining set? (Psst—it’s also woven with stain resistant wool.)

Best Durable Kitchen Area Rug

Those with kids and pets should take note: Reviewers swear by Chilewich’s rugs for high-traffic areas. It’s made with an eco-friendly, stain-resistant material, and has a built-in slip-proof backing—plus it comes in 7 different colors (and 6 sizes) to mix and match to your space.
