If you have animals or kids this is the rug!!! I splurged a few months ago and bought a ruggable. Although very nice it’s very hard to wash in the larger size and put back on the pad. It also has to be washed after my cats have an accident and it’s hard to get that out of the rug - extremely frustrating after spending so much on it. This rug if any liquid spills on it, it will puddle right up and not absorb. All you have to do is soak it up with a paper towel and spray a bit of carpet cleaner and it completely cleans it. I just can’t believe how great it is! It’s also very soft. No, it’s not the quality of a 1k plus rug but for the price and being the best washable rug I’ve found it’s absolutely worth it!!
