Machine-Washable Shag Rugs

My Magic Carpet Rugs are Waterproof, Stain-Resistant & Easy to Clean

— January 28, 2022 — Art & Design
My Magic Carpet Rugs revives shag rugs for a new generation with machine-washable shag rugs that are exceptionally easy to care for. Available in three sizes (3x5, 5x7 and round 6x6,) the rugs are waterproof, stain-resistant and easy to clean. The rugs are the right size to fit into washing machines and this helps to keep homes with families and pets as clean as possible by tackling bacteria that vacuums just can't handle. This low-maintenance home decor piece helps to address the fact that there are up to 200,000 bacteria per square inch living in most rugs in homes.

Monica Dallyn, a female entrepreneur and co-founder of My Magic Carpet, says "My rugs are stain-resistant, waterproof, child-proof and pet-proof. Even red wine can't stain my new white shag rugs."
