I cannot stress enough that this rug CANNOT BE VACUUMED!! Yes it is “washable” and hang dry. But it is not feasible to pick this huge rug up and wash it every time it needs a vacuum. It is literally an 8x10 bath mat in looks and feel. I got navy blue, it shows every speck of dust and dirt. Trying to vacuum it does not work!!! I would not buy it again or recommend it to anyone for this reason. It is soft like a bath mat, does not shed.  It does show shadows based on which way the fibers lay so you can see every foot print. I cannot believe this rug. The price was reasonable, I don’t feel it’s worth the hassle of trying to return it.
