I ordered the purple rug set.  They are a light purple--more like lilac, but they are pretty.  They are cotton so I expected some shedding in the washer and more lint than usual in the dryer.  I was careful to use cold water, delicate cycle.  But WOW....the washer was full of gobs of purple cotton and I had to keep emptying the lint catcher in the dryer about six times before they were dry.  After all that I was surpised there was anything left of the rugs.  They held up in spite of the gobs and gobs of cotton I had to scoop out of the washer and excessive lint.  I ordered these because I wanted cotton rugs that were slip resistant, which the description says they are due to the latex on the backing (there is hardly any).  They ARE NOT slip resistant and I had to put rug pads under them.  I'm disappointed that they are not slip and slide resistant, and I really dread having to wash them!  
 If they had been, even with the shedding, I would have given 5 stars.
