What is Machine washable?
In short
A yes or no on whether you can put a brand's rugs or curtains through a washing machine.
Machine washable means a textile can go in a washing machine rather than needing spot cleaning or professional cleaning. For rugs and curtains it changes the running cost of ownership, since a washable piece needs detergent and drying space instead of a cleaner's fee. Article and B&Q list their rugs and curtains as machine washable, and BEASEN Smart Window Shades does the same for its shades. Allay Lamp and Boll & Branch list theirs as not machine washable, so those need a gentler cleaning route.
