These runners are very durable for what I need them for.  Have hardwood floors and a dog who had surgery to repair her ACL.   I have lined the floors with several of these runners to keep her from slipping.  They hold up very well to vacuuming, washing or just spraying off with hose.  The only down side… my daughter has a white lab.  White dog hair shows up very well on the black surface.  (Easy to vacuum )Will buy more when or if these wear out.
