The UKISS Washable Rugs 5’x7′ Vintage Large Area Rug in Blue sits at $89.99 with a 4.7 out of 5 rating from 25 buyers. That’s not a huge review count, but I read through every one of them, along with reviews on the matching 8’x10′ size, to see whether the softness and washability claims actually hold up.
What it’s made of
It’s an ultra-soft faux silky rug with a low pile and a vintage, medallion-style pattern in muted blue tones. The construction includes a non-slip backing and a non-shedding low-pile weave, and the whole thing is designed to be machine washable rather than spot-clean only.
One buyer who reviewed the 8’x10′ version put it plainly: low-pile but “almost like a faux silk” underfoot. Another compared the feel favorably against thicker, more expensive rugs they’d owned.
What buyers are actually saying
The washability claim held up in practice for at least one reviewer, who machine-washed it after a spill and reported it came out “looking brand new” with no fraying or color fading. Another buyer, a month into ownership, said they’d found barely any fibers in the vacuum, backing up the non-shedding claim.
Non-slip performance also checked out. Multiple buyers using it on hardwood floors said it stayed in place without a separate rug pad, including one who bought it specifically to protect hardwood from a dog’s claws.
The one recurring complaint
More than one reviewer flagged the same quirk: the pattern appears to be printed on only one side of the pile fibers. Run a hand or vacuum over it one way and the design shows clearly. Go the other direction and it flattens out, which can make the rug look patchy right after cleaning until it’s brushed back into place.
It’s a cosmetic issue, not a durability one, but it’s worth knowing before your first vacuum pass. A couple of buyers also mentioned the blue reads a bit lighter in person than in the listing photos.
Sizing and the washer question
This exact rug is also sold in an 8’x10′ size, and reviews of that version confirm the same construction and non-slip backing scale up fine. The bigger caveat is practical: one 5’x7′ owner noted they didn’t think it would actually fit in their home washing machine, even though it’s rated washable. Check your washer’s drum capacity against the rug size before you count on that as a regular cleaning method; a bathtub hand-wash or laundromat-size machine works as a backup.
How it compares
Against the market’s best-known washable rug brand, this one trades a dedicated wash-and-reattach pad system for simplicity: the whole rug goes in the wash, and it costs well under half the price. I laid out that full trade-off in UKISS vs Ruggable.
Should you buy it
If you want a soft, genuinely washable area rug for a room that sees kids, pets, or daily wear, and you don’t want to pay Ruggable prices, this is an easy recommendation at $89.99. Just measure your washer before you buy if machine-washing matters to you, and expect the pile to need a consistent brushing direction to look its best.
