I originally bought this rug for our new camper van, but it really isnt meant for that type of wear and tear.  Within a few weeks of use, some of the little knotted pieces were beginning to come undone.  Using a regular vacuum or even the hand attachments should be avoided, as this will unknot some of the pieces.
That said, I absolutely love this rug!  The colors are vibrant and the pattern is stunning.  I have since moved it into my entryway, re-knotted the loose pieces, and enjoy its beauty every day!  Instead of vacuuming, I shake it out on the back deck.
It really is a beautiful rug, and if treated nicely, will add some interesting color and texture to any room for years to come.  You will receive lots of compliments!
