I LOVE the rug!  One of the reasons I purchased this particular rug is that someone mentioned in a review that they had pet accidents in their home and commented on how easy the rug was to clean.  We have a little one in our home and grapy juice got spilled on the rug.  I first used a little white vinegar and then a bit of carpet cleaner and the grape juice cleaned right up!  It's a very light color rug and I was surprised it cleaned up so well.  Definitely a great purchase!
