This rug is gorgeous! My husband bought me the natural color in the 8 x 10 size for my birthday. We put the rug down, and it laid flat just fine. The smell was very slight, and wasn't bad at all. The color is beautiful and earthy. The next morning, I awoke to find that my dog had developed a severe case of diarrhea during the night and mistook the rug for a field of grass. Worst of all, the offensive, dark spots had run into the weave and dried. I was mortified, and rushed to the store to try to find something to clean it. To my horror, upon returning from the store, I found my husband in the driveway using a power washer with a cleaning solvent on it! I literally cried because I was sure he had destroyed it. I've actually seen this man take upholstered chairs to the car wash. He thinks tire cleaner is the answer to all of life's problems. Anyway, to my surprise, the rug dried flat, no mildew or mold, and absolutely no damage to the fiber whatsoever. It looked (and smelled) as though nothing had ever happened. Long story short -- this rug can take a beating! I couldn't be more pleased. And, yes, the dog learned his lesson, and now refuses to even walk across it. Good doggie!
