Update. The rug cannot be hand washed with lighter colored fabrics. Colors run dark hue for entire cold hand wash. Made mistake to carry a damp light colored rug with  this damp rug on top. Light rug suffered brown stains This rug shed lots of fibers while washing and rinsing. Would not buy again.

This brown toilet carpet matched up with the bathroom and its oil rubbed bronze fixtures. A great contrast with two other beige bathroom carpets.
