It’s a beautiful rug if you don’t use it. I have it in the nursery and I made sure to always wear slippers or socks on it and it still managed to get dirty looking on the edges. I’ve had it for 10 months and have had it professionally cleaned once already. It must hold on to dirt pretty well. I’ve had to buy a different rug as i don’t like even a slight discolouration. It looks dirty.
