Goods of the Woods Oriental Half Round Olefin Hearth Rug with Bear Pattern - 25 Inch x 42 Inch

You cannot wash these rugs in a washing machine. The manufacturer recommends a damp cloth for cleaning. Lukewarm water and detergent can be used for cleaning, Olefin dries quickly, so we recommend line drying or low-tumble drying with little or no heat.

Yes, this is a fantastic rug. It easily washes with soap and warm water. It looks even better in person.

I would not put it in the washing machine, it is not pliable enough but I would use a small shampoo machine. Hope this helps, I just bought mine so it hasn't gotten dirty yet but I will plan to use my little shampooer.

Yes, the 42" measurement is taken from the top left corner of the rug as shown to the top right corner. The depth of the rug from the center measured to the bottom is approximately 25".

Yes, it's 42" from corner to corner, and 25" from the middle of the back edge to the front. We love our rug, it's thick and very nice.

Olefin is indeed the most durable type of rug fiber that we offer. Small embers will usually not damage the rug at all, while larger embers will cause minimal damage. This rug is expected back in stock by early April. You may also consider using a metal ember protector, such as the Hy-C 28-inch x 32-inch Type 2 UL1618 Black Stove Board. The metal casing of this board will do a superior job protecting the floor from hot embers. These are also available in various sizes.

The 25 inch measurement is taken from the flat side of the rug out to the center of the arch on the opposite side.
