The one catchGENIMO is a little-known brand and this listing has few ratings so far, so there is little track record behind it

Is it worth it?

Yes, for a renter who wants to cover a cold or tired floor with something that can be washed rather than replaced. The GENIMO washable rug is 120 x 170cm, thin enough for a door to pass over, grips the floor with its own backing, and goes in the machine at 30°C. The catch: GENIMO is a little-known brand and the listing has few ratings so far, and it gives no weight for the rug, so nothing on the page tells you whether a rug this size will fit a home washing machine. Check the drum before relying on the wash.

Is it for you?

Get it if
  • A rented living room or bedroom with a hard floor that needs warmth and colour
  • A home with pets or children, where the rug will need washing
  • A doorway, where a thin rug lets the door swing over it
Skip it if
  • A plain or Scandi scheme: the pattern is busy and the colour is strong
  • Anyone without a large washing machine, or a launderette nearby
  • Someone who wants a thick, soft pile to sit on

The honest read

What wins you over
  • The size the guide asked for, 120 x 170cm, in one piece
  • Machine washable at 30°C and dried flat, by the listing's care note
  • A non-slip backing for wood, laminate and tile, with no separate rug pad needed
  • Only 0.6cm thick, so doors clear it; dispatched by Amazon
Where it gives
  • GENIMO is a little-known brand and this listing has few ratings so far, so there is little track record behind it
  • No weight is given anywhere on the listing, so it cannot tell you whether a 120 x 170cm rug will fit a standard home washing machine
  • It arrives folded, and the listing itself says the creases take a few days to settle
  • The grip comes from a PVC backing, by the details table: a plastic back, not jute or felt

GENIMO washable rug: questions answered

A bright rented bedroom nook with a leaning floor mirror, a cordless table lamp, over-door hooks and a potted olive tree — nothing fixed to the walls
A flat-woven rectangular rug in faded terracotta with a floral, leaf and bird pattern inside ochre and brown borders
Can the GENIMO washable rug go in the washing machine?
Yes, at 30°C, then dried flat, according to the listing. It does not give the rug's weight, so check a 120 x 170cm rug will fit your drum before you rely on it.
Is the GENIMO washable rug non-slip?
It has a PVC backing that the listing says grips wood, laminate and tile, so it should not need a separate rug pad.
Is the GENIMO rug thick?
No. The GENIMO rug is 0.6cm thick with a low, flat weave, which lets doors open over it but makes it a thin rug rather than a soft one.
