I ordered this rug to be placed in front of my kitchen sink.  I knew it was going to be a little large, and it did look a little heavy when it ran all the way from my sink past my dishwasher.  I brought it to my local alterations lady, had her cut the rug in half to make two rugs ,  she finished it off on the edge so you would never know. it’s very inexpensive to do so and now I have the same rug in my Florida home and in my vacation home. Two for the price of one !  Now it’s a perfect size and easier to wash since it isn’t quite as heavy.   I would highly recommend it in the larger size if you have a large kitchen. 

 It washes very well and comes out perfectly clean and still looks new after a full year .
