In the description it states that the pile height is great for high traffic areas, pets and kids, but the material of these rug itself is the worst for pets and kids! I’m so so disappointed! My dog had an accident in the middle of the night as we took him out of his kennel two night after we laid the rug down and the area we had to clean is ruined! The color lifted completely in some spots and the fabric is hard now. Reading about viscose fabric I now know that that is the way this rug will be with any future stains. With kids and pets I don’t think it will last many months unfortunately.
