I put this rug in my mud room which is right off the garage and laundry room. The laundry room houses 2 litter boxes so between the tracking of kitty litter and dirt from the outdoors that area needs cleaning daily. I used to have a shag rug there which required me to haul out the vacuum in order to keep it clean in there. With this rug all you need is a broom for a quick clean up. Oh.... And it's really pretty too! If you are looking for something cushy under your feet this isn't it, for my purposes it's great!
