I specifically searched for machine washable rugs.  The description states that it is machine washable...this rug cannot be washed in the washing machine!  There may be a language issue here as the rug is washable with a rug cleaning machine.  In addition, the rug in the picture does not have pink in it even with the zoom while the rug does have pink in it... a considerable amount of pink.  The quality of the rug is appropriate for its price, but now I will have to pay the return on a rug that will not work in my room.  Then, I will have to buy another one.
