Machine wash cold. Only handle with unicorn-skin gloves.

I was washing all my throw rugs tonight, and I found one that still had its label. This dopey thing had the nerve to say "Do not tumble dry." Is this some sort of joke? It's a $1.50 throw rug from Ikea! Washing and drying this thing cost more than I paid for it in the first place. I've put a merino wool sweater in the dryer before. I've never used a "cool iron" in my life. I mix whites and colors so that I don't have to do two loads. And this cheap throw rug wanted me to air-dry it? This thing didn't stand a chance.
