This is a stunning rug, however the dual composition of wool and viscose leaves a lot to be desired. The white wool portion cleans and dries beautifully but the viscose silver portion, is a nightmare, cleaning poorly and taking many days to dry and then never looking or feeling the same again. I lean toward white wool rugs and have NEVER had a rug that cleans this poorly. I will end up sending this one out for cleaning at a greater expense.
