I've just bought a kitchen runner, 150cm long with a non-slip backing. DH traipses in and out so it will need washing from time to time. Like most kitchen mats it's machine washable but I'm worried about damaging my elderly but reliable machine. The only mats I've machine washed are two very small mats with fairly light weight rubber backing. The back door mat has a very heavy rubber backing and is supposed to be machine washable but I soak it in the bath and then scrub and scrub and scrub it rather than risk the machine.
Have any grans washed 'washable' kitchen mats with rubber backing in a domestic washing machine?
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
