r/latchhook

Has anyone ever washed a latch hook rug?

I had a pile of about 4 finished rugs and one that had been seen to a pillow backing and my cat peed on the pile 🤦‍♀️

I’m hesitant to even wash them on the delicate cycle.

It’s fall here now, of course, but I could wait for next summer and let the sun bleach them? I’d prefer to get them clean sooner than that, though.

Any success stories in washing a latch hook rug?

What’s the best brand for adults? I’m having trouble finding one where the printed pattern and the guide match. I’m new to this and enjoy it but I’m getting frustrated trying to find a quality kit.
