This rug continuously sheds. When my grandson crawls on this rug he gets covered in fibers.  I expected when I first received the rug that there would be some shedding.   Months now and the shedding is still going on.   The picture is just small area that has been vacuumed.  When I vacuum the entire rug I will empty the canister 4 to 5 times.   This rug is messy as the fibers go everywhere.
