I was impressed with the speed that the rugs arrived in and was anxious to put the rugs down and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, my dogs got very excited and peed on both of them. I was sort of surprised that the rugs had not been scorthguarded at the factory. I was even more surprised after I used a standard cleaning product sold to clean dog pee stains that while it cleaned the rugs, it also bleached out the places where the mishaps were. I would not recommend these rugs for anyone except those who lives a very child, pet free, wine spiller, food dropper lifestyle. If it is at all possible that something that is wet, could possibly stain, or anything else might fall on the rugs, they are ruined. If shipping did not cost as much to send the product back and the hassle of shipping was not what it is, I would send them back. Why not just scotguard the rugs at the factory. Before I laid out the second one, I did have a carpet cleaning service come over and scotguard it and it still got screwed up.
