The size of this rug is wonderful. Its texture is soft and perfect for our boys to play on. Gentle on skin and knees and holds block building constructions sturdy! Easy to clean spots of dirt/spills etc. loose dirt and dust easy to vacuum.
However it holds wooden splinters and larger particles of matter. That comes from clothing, just general day to day matter - I’m not carrying wood for the fire over it at all. It’s like a micro fibre cloth - everything gets stuck in it. I have to sweep it and use to tape to pull out the pieces, vacuuming only pushes them deeper. There fore unless I get on my hands and knees to remove these pieces my mat never looks clean.
Whilst it’s sold as washable - it’s not very practical to pull out from underneath furniture every week and and wash it. But if you had the ability to wash often it may help.
Pros and cons! I do love that it doesn’t seem to stain, is pet friendly, claws and paws don’t damage it or pull threads - win!! It comes up nice looking with a daily vacuum but yea hard to keep it looking good when things get so stuck like a microfibre cleaning cloth.
The colours are as pictured, soft, earthy and beautiful. Do absolutely love most aspects!
