I ordered the red/ivory/grey 7x9 version of this rug. The red is a true,vibrant red. The rug is thick with a striking design. However, when my rug arrived there are small dark spots on the ivory where it adjoins the grey insets. The spots look like grease marks. They are not really noticeable at a distance, but of course once I spotted them my eye is now drawn to them. I did not attempt to clean them beyond vacuuming the rug--I was afraid I would make them worse. I decided to live with the issue as the rug was going into a room I am not often in and my husband assures me no one else will notice the small spots. So, just FYI for you perfectionists out there!
