After having two jute rugs at my front door entryway that were discoloured by spills and pet messes, I decided to go for something that could be spot-cleaned without discolouration. This rug does the trick. Looks nice and very natural, and sits flat on the hardwood floor with no curling corners. My only gripe is that it is browner/darker than it appears in the pictures. Would have given 5 stars if it was a more natural jute colour.
