How to safely add a rug for kitchen floors to your home
Rugs for kitchens are a fun, stylish and trendy home decorating choice, but they require a few safety considerations. Before you spruce up your space with a kitchen rug, it’s important to ensure your kitchen is properly set up. Take a look at our tips for how to safely add a rug for kitchen floors to your home.
- Choose water-resistant materials.
- Let’s face it — no matter how careful you are, it’s impossible to always avoid spills and stains while cooking. When choosing a rug for your kitchen, we recommend water-resistant materials like wool and polypropylene that can stand up against any spills or splashes that may occur.
- Polypropylene is a synthetic material that is highly resistant to liquids, making it easy to clean up spilt drinks, splashes from hot pans and other food stains. Wool is a natural fibre that resists water-based stains thanks to its built-in natural coating. Both materials are stylish, durable and soft, making them a great choice for kitchens.
- Always use an anti-slip pad.
- Whether they’re on hardwood floors, soft carpet or concrete, rugs have a tendency to slide around if they’re not secured properly. This is especially true for smooth linoleum floors or slippery tiles. We always recommend adding an anti-slip pad to your rug to ensure it stays in the right position.
- Anti-slip pads also reduce the chance of dangerous accidents occurring such as slipping, tripping or sliding — a must-have when handling hot foods, liquids and sharp utensils.
- At Rug.com.au, we make it easy to order an anti-slip pad with your new kitchen rug. When choosing your rug, select your size and click the Select Pad option before adding the rug to your cart. Here, you can choose the perfect-sized slip pad for your new rug and add it to your cart.

- Clean spills and stains quickly.
- Different rug materials have specific cleaning requirements, so it’s important to follow proper cleaning instructions to keep your new kitchen rug fresh. When spills and stains occur, clean them as quickly as possible to stop oils, liquids and food waste from seeping into the fibres.
- Vacuum your kitchen rug frequently to avoid food waste and crumbs from attracting insects and other pests in your home.
