This rug is beautiful, thick  soft, and would be great in a home with no pets or children or clumsy people.  It is impossible to clean! Simple stains that come out with a little Folex on all my other rugs  furniture are indelibly stained on this rug.  I’ll be sending it to the dump after 6 months because of a few pet stains that refuse to come out. So disappointed. It was lovely.  (It is very heavy, if you buy a larger size… was a challenge to set up by myself  not looking forward to getting it out of my house!)
