Product Insights
The Blackthorn Washable Rug by Simons Maison offers an exact 1892 John Henry Dearle design from Morris & Co., the same pattern as Ruggable's higher-priced two-piece system, at $49 CAD. It features a 65% polyester, 25% cotton top blend that is softer than full-polyester, makes spills bead, and dries faster, but the cotton requires immediate blotting to avoid stains. The integrated rubber backing grips hard floors without a separate pad, though it may trap heat on heated floors. It withstands 40–80 cold-water machine washes without fading and dries in hours, but heat damages the backing so air drying or no-heat tumble is recommended.

Facile d'entretien
ll est très bien
Mais , j’aurais aimé pouvoir l’acheter un peu plus grand.
Unique print.
Beautiful tapestry pattern. Just the right touch for dressing up the foyer.
Love the design
Looks great but will slide on tile floor. Moved it from the front entry to a less frequently used door way but it is still on tile and still tends to slide.
Beau motif, belle qualité MAIS…
malheureusement ils ont été pliés (en ai acheté 2) et les plis ne disparaissent pas. Il aurait fallu les rouler. Et aussi leur adhérence laisse à désirer.

Très satisfaisant et beau en
Très satisfaisant et beau en plus. Déjà reçu des compliments.
Nice rug but…
The rug has nice pattern but it slips on the floor creating a tripping hazard as it’s very thin so no weight to hold it down and the small amount of grip on the back doesn’t keep it in place. Disappointed. Maybe if it’s on top of carpet it might work but doesn’t on hardwood.

Very happy with purchase
I really like this moody rug because it doesn’t show the dirt and is washable. Nice design and fabric . I put an anti-slip layer under it to keep it in place.
Lovely pattern
This lightweight carpet has a rubber backing and fits nicely under the small space between my door and the floor.
