I purchased this carpet to put outside of our Camper/Trailer. I do expect that it will becomed soiled from being laid on the ground at the campgrounds, but for the price and the type of fiber and material, I wont mind. The rug is tightly woven and meant to be used outdoors. It will be resillent, swept off and rolled up and stored in our camper. I was thrilled to discover this find at a good purchase price. Very Nice Indeed.
