I can finally say we can check the task off the to do list. It was always something we wanted to get done, but you know how life is, it kept getting moved to the back burner. We refinished the entire top floor and even ripped the carpet off the stairs.
It was a few years before we rented a sander and tackled the upstairs bedrooms. We removed the carpet in our master bedroom before we even moved in. When we first moved into our home almost nine years ago, every square inch of the hardwood was covered with blue carpet, laminate or tile, except for in the living room.

This one is the C3 Herringbone Linen Indoor/Outdoor Rug.Learn how to refinish hardwood stairs with paint and Annie Selke’s Dash and Albert rugs. Now check out how perfectly clean it is after it was completely dry!
But alas… I referred to Dash & Albert’s cleaning guide on their website and was pleased to find out bleach is recommended for difficult stains (as long as you rinse it out well)! I have to admit I was a little worried that spaghetti stain wouldn’t come out very easily, since it wouldn’t budge with water like the other two did. Here’s a little video I did showing how I cleaned each one. So I started with a few things that are known to wreak havoc on light colored rugs and are likely to get spilled under a dining room table: Spaghetti sauce, chocolate sauce, and mushed up strawberries (raspberries had the same result). I wanted to show you all how easy these rugs are to clean and despite their light color, every food stain you can imagine comes out! It looks like it was ‘meant to be’ doesn’t it? The colors and pattern are so up my alley. This is the Rugby Stripe Light Blue Indoor/Outdoor Runner Rug. I would highly recommend carpet tape when using flat-weave rugs over a hard surface… the shifting will drive you nuts if you don’t! I also used some carpet tape to secure the corners and middle so that it doesn’t shift when we walk over it. I folded over the cut edge and used some upholstery thread to sew that side down so it wouldn’t unravel. We have had them for almost 2 months now and I’m still impressed!īecause my kitchen is on the smaller side, I cut the runner (which is normally 8 feet long) down to fit perfectly in my space. Any spot or stain that occurred from dirt or food simply wiped clean with a damp rag! I had never beheld such sorcery from a rug. But after a week with them in place I was sold. As I alluded to, I was skeptical at first because of how light colored they were and I was worried about their stain-ability. I was beyond impressed with these indoor/outdoor rugs from Dash and Albert by Annie Selke. I had been contemplating for a while adding a runner in the kitchen, but I hadn’t even considered a rug for our dining room because I knew what a hassle it could be to clean! But I figured this could be a sort of “test run” to see how I would like a rug in there.
