I love this rug. I bought it to put in front of an entry door, but it ended up in my kitchen – – yes my kitchen! It’s vibrant and cheery. I feel  it brings an unexpected element into my otherwise typical kitchen. I can easily vacuum it. There is no nap. It is a flat woven texture. I live in the Midwest. When the weather improves, I will take it outside on my deck and hose it down and let it dry. I would definitely recommend this rug.
