These are the best rugs ever. I used to have a 10x10 area rug and it got filfthy and to clean it professionally costed almost more than it cost! Finding this rug was incredible. It's machine washable and has a grip bottom so you don't even need to get a rug pad. I got two for either side of my queen size bed (~3x5) and so far it has been amazing. It is not stark white its slightly, slightly off white but it's exactly what I wanted. I HIGHLY recommend!!!!
