This rug was awesome.  I had it in a waiting room at my husband's medical practice and now in one of my daughter's dorm room.  The perfect rug because you won't cry if someone does something to it...but it wears like iron and cleans very easily.  We had it cleaned (though it did not show signs of wear) between hubs office and the dorm living room - with steam and it turned out fine!  Looks like it did when we purchased it.
