Terrug Beige and White Checkered Rug for Living Room,6x9 Area Rugs Washable with Non Slip for Bedroom,Soft Low Pile Stain Resistance Retro Carpet for Dorm Kids Room

This carpet/rug arrives folded. Just place it down and voila, you will have a super soft rug, with a gripper back, that is machine washable. There is "braided" type edges, which add just the right finishing framing touch. The feel of the rug is similar to a super soft flannel shirt/sheet. I have noticed the rug does absorb fluids but with the gripper back, at least if the amount is small, it won't spread to the floor beneath the rug. The checkered design will compliment pretty much any room design. I got the beige and white color, which the beige matches almost exactly to the (I am in a rental townhouse), typical beige carpeting. With this rug being machine washable, you should be able to get pretty much any small spills up with a sponge or the like. For the bigger messes and/or the periodic cleaning of the rug, just place in a large capacity washer or if you have a washer without an agitator, it might be able to accommodate it; for cleaning.

We like this rug. It was shipped folded like a blanket which we hadn't ever seen before but it opens up well without wrinkles. It's soft but at the same time still hard - the material itself is still soft - but this is a thin rug so you still feel the hardness of the flooring below the rug. The coloring is true to the advertised listing. The checkered pattern is a bit more intense that I expected but my eyes are old and this may just be due to that. Overall this the quality is fair, it looks and feels well made, and should last a year or so of everyday use.
