LOVE THIS RUG!! It's incredibly soft and does not look cheap. Although it is extremely white, you can't notice when you track a little dirt on it. Either way, I can usually get most the dirt off after shaking out the rug a bit. I wouldn't recommend using a vacuum. I haven't had a stain on it yet so I'm not sure how easily that would come out. But it's seriously an incredible rug and hardly sheds.
