I have had this rug for several months now, it stays in the living room and I love it, the indigo blue is beautiful and vibrant and the rug is so easy to clean. I have a two year old boy who is very messy and so far this rug has been very easy to clean, I literally just use a wet rag with water to clean spots. A week ago my son vomited right on the rug and I took outside and hosed it off with no problems, it even dried very quickly. Also so far the weave has not shed or caught on anything. Would buy again
