We have had this runner in a very busy entryway for a couple of months now. It didn’t take long for the carpet to lay flat. It’s the middle of winter so it has been through wet salty boots, wet doggy paws, lots of walking over. We often leave our wet boots on the carpet to dry. It’s withheld all this torture beautifully!
I vacuum the carpet no problem. I’ll have to figure out how to wash it when winter is over.
I’m very happy with this purchase!
