This rug is awesome.  It is made of the same polypropolene that is used in outdoor spaces.  You can spill spaghetti sauce on it, and drag it outside and spray it down with the garden hose.  Would be beautiful in a foyer or dining room, as well.  My daughter has a 7, 5 and 3 year old and has several rugs just like this in her home - great for families with small children!
