The rug is dingy and dirty looking. The edges are especially bad with greyish tint. The whole rug looks off-white not bright white. It also smells a little mildewy which really bothers me because it’s for a babies room.  I’m really surprised by all of the positive reviews, frankly they’re the reason I bought this rug. I would return it but I’m 8.5 months pregnant and don’t have the time or energy to get it shipped back out. I’m going to try and clean it and see if that helps.
