For flat-woven fabrics:
No. We do not recommend using fabric softener when washing your flatweave rug as it may flatten the texture of the rug.
For plush carpets and shaggy carpets:
No. The Plush and Shaggy rug covers do not need to be washed with fabric softener to maintain their texture.
Tip: If your vacuum cleaner has a rotating bristle attachment that is gentle enough for our carpet covers, vacuuming can often help refresh the plush texture after washing.
