This rug has been used for our dining room, and its very easy to clean up. Its easy to use the vacuum on and Ive been able to wipe up a few food messes without it staining. I like the way it looks in my living room, there are a little stringy that want to come up on the side, but can hardly been seen, and has been hard to keep it down without using carpet tape.￼ otherwise the colo scheme is perfect
