This runner is nice but not quite what I was looking for. It's a heavy-duty carpet material. I would have liked a cushy mat as opposed to the carpet material. But it does clean up well. My dog likes to take a mouthful of food and drop it on the mat and eat it off of there. Sometimes she leaves something and I step on it. It's easy to wipe up and is as clean as new. My one complaint is how they folded it for packaging. It has a bend in the middle that hasn't completely straightened out yet. Otherwise I'm okay with it.
