I purchased this rug to go in my home office. It arrived quickly and I was excited to put it down and see it in the space (photo 1). Just one day after receiving it, my dog got ahold of a chocolate protein shake and spilled it all over the rug. I cleaned it outside with water, vinegar and a small amount of Dawn soap. While most of the stains came out, the cream parts of the rug turned into a terrible yellow (photo 2). After doing some research online, this is a common effect that water can have on wool. This is a problem because most people will have a spill of some sort on an area rug during the time they own it. So just beware that spot cleaning or cleaning the rug in general will ruin it.
