I LOVE these rugs and have purchased four. I use them at entries and halls. The pattern hides any spills or dirt. I have older cats, and they have thrown up on the rug multiple times, but it cleans up perfectly. I have had the rugs for two years and they look like new. They are also very soft and dense. The slight sheen makes them look high end like a silk blend. The pile is low so no problem getting caught under doors or creating a tripping hazard.
