I love this rug, it’s softer than I expected (although it is still a corse fiber) and I love the way it looks in my sunroom. It is not the easiest to clean (we have 3 dogs that unfortunately chose to make some messes on this rug) best way we’ve learned is to actually take it outside and hose it off as rubbing will effect the fibers. Being a natural color of spills or messes do happen the rug may take on that color, so I suggest a no Kool-Aid rule.
