Properties and Benefits of Washable Kitchen Rugs
Rugs specifically designed for this area of the home have a series of important features and properties that make them ideal for withstanding daily hustle and bustle and the possible mishaps that occur while you're cooking:
-
Resistance: Made with wear-resistant materials such as polyester and PVC. These materials easily withstand continuous foot traffic and the friction produced by utensils such as knives and forks when they fall from the kitchen counter.
-
Ease of cleaning: In the kitchen, splashes of food, liquids, and grease are very common. That's why washable kitchen rugs are designed so that they can be cleaned easily. With a damp cloth, you'll be able to remove most stains.
-
Comfort: If you spend a lot of time standing while cooking or washing dishes, these rugs will help you increase comfort and reduce fatigue under your feet, making your time in the kitchen more pleasant.
-
Aesthetic value: They are available in a wide variety of styles, colors, and prints, allowing you to choose one that perfectly suits your kitchen decor and reflects your tastes.
-
Non-slip: Ideally, they should be non-slip kitchen rugs that help reduce the risk of slips or falls, especially when we have sharp or hot items in our hands, such as knives or pots with boiling water.
Materials Used in Kitchen Rugs
Choosing the right material is essential when buying a kitchen rug, as it determines its durability, ease of cleaning, but also the design. Among the most used materials are vinyl and PVC. The former is soft to the touch and offers good stain resistance. It is also not too expensive and can be treated to produce rugs in very different colors and designs.
PVC is another material used for kitchen rugs, especially in vinyl rug formats, due to its versatility and resistance that easily withstands daily use. It offers excellent resistance to water, stains, and grease, which makes it a very practical material for the kitchen. It can be cleaned simply by wiping with a damp cloth. In addition, PVC rugs can be purchased in a wide variety of designs, colors, and prints; they even imitate other materials such as tiles or the natural finish of wood.
Trending Colors
Interior design can also be dictated by your kitchen rugs if you know how to combine the rug's design and colors with the style and furniture of your kitchen. Colors directly affect how the overall decoration of the room is perceived, so you should pay attention to them. This year, the trending color schemes are:
To make your kitchen appear larger and brighter, neutral colors like gray, beige, or white are the best option. These colors give air to the space, especially to smaller kitchens with fewer square meters or low ceilings. These tones visually open up the room while conveying calm, sophistication, and elegance. Neutrals are your allies, as they allow the furniture, appliances, and decoration to stand out much more.
If you want to turn your kitchen into a lively place, opt for warm colors like orange, red, and yellow. They give the environment incredible energy! However, if you overdo it with these tones, especially in small kitchens, you will make the kitchen look smaller, so the ideal is to combine them with lighter or neutral colors. But if you are looking to stimulate appetite, these colors are a total success.
You can give a touch of freshness to the kitchen with rugs in green tones. In addition, the color green has the ability to connect the exterior with the kitchen, something that may interest you if your kitchen has a window with views and you want to enhance that feeling of calm and closeness to nature. Colors like mustard yellow, terracotta, or brown are perfect for making the kitchen a more welcoming space where you want to be and spend more time with family and friends sharing chats and meetings.
Best Locations to Place a Rug in the Kitchen
Although the kitchen may seem like an unconventional space for a rug, we have different locations to place them depending on the function we want it to fulfill or the layout of the kitchen.
Next to the Island or Peninsula
If your kitchen has an island or a bar with stools, placing a rug in this spot defines the seating area. Just as with a dining table, make sure the size of the rug is large enough so that the stools remain on the rug when you use them.
If you are looking for a specific size or are looking for kitchen rugs by the meter, you can write to us by email at info@atticgo.com and we will make your custom-made rug.
In Front of the Sink and Countertop
This is one of the most common locations for kitchen rugs. Spending time washing dishes or preparing food involves standing for several minutes throughout the day. A rug in this area provides a more comfortable surface that makes the tasks of cooking or washing dishes more bearable. In addition, they help protect the floor from splashes of water, soap, or food remains.
In Front of the Induction or Ceramic Hob
The area in front of the stove often gets stained with splashes of oil, sauces, and other food remains. A washable kitchen rug helps you protect the floor from stains, but you must bear in mind that the temperature is higher in this location, so you should look for a heat-resistant rug that maintains its shape and integrity even when you are cooking under high temperature conditions.
In Walkway Areas of the Kitchen
If your kitchen has an elongated design or connects with other rooms of the house through a hallway, an elongated rug helps to make the passage between one room and another more fluid while visually delimiting the space.
Cleaning and Maintenance of Kitchen Floor Rugs
Keeping your kitchen rug spotless doesn't take too much time if you do some routine maintenance. Every day or two, before you mop, vacuum the rug to remove any loose solid debris like crumbs or other bits. This stops dirt from being dragged around and spread when you wet the rug. Fill a bucket with warm water and add a small amount of mild liquid detergent to get a slightly soapy solution.
Dip a microfiber mop into the cleaning solution and wring it out really well. The mop should be damp, but not dripping, as too much water can soak into the rug's backing and take longer to dry. Run the damp mop over the surface of the rug with gentle movements, and if you've used a lot of soap or if the rug feels sticky, go over it a second time with the wrung-out mop using only clean water to rinse. Finally, you can dry it with paper towels or let it air dry with good ventilation by opening the kitchen doors and windows.
