I bought this rug to replace a rug in my master bed room that I have spot cleaned to death because of my old cat.  It replaced a plain blue rug and it is nice to have some vibrant blue colors brighten up my room.  I replace rugs often so I do not like to spend a lot on them and this was a special price so that made it work!  It is thin but a nice rug pad works wonders for it.  I believe it will be easy to spot clean the pile is tight and has not shed.  It is more than I expected for the price.
