This rug is in a high traffic area on the front porch and I was worried about the white areas staining (grass and mud).  After a month it is holding up well, looks brand new with an occasional spray from the hose.   The colors are bright.  I bought a second rug (different manufacturer) for 1/2 the price as a back up (it is being used on the back porch, much less traffic) and it is not faring as well.   Needless to say, you get what you pay for, the Dash and Albert rug is far superior, finer weave and more stain resistant.
