Manhattan is doggie paradise. Everyone is a doting daddy or a loving mommy to one special kitty, or two. But it’s hard work picking up after these little ones. They don’t come with housekeeping abilities or sensibilities. I know because I’m godmother to Pascha and Congo, a couple of my friend’s cats.

Rugs especially, are hard to clean. They collect fur. And they collect way more than I feel safe to let my washing machine handle it. So unless a) you have plenty of time to pluck out every strand or b) you plan to live in a world of fur (my choice personally), make life easier and get an Out-Durable Braided Outdoor Rug.

With this rug, a heavy rain does the cleaning for you. After that, the sun dries it up quickly enough. And when it’s time to get a new rug, flip it over like an inside-out underwear. The other side’s as good as brand new.

Leaves, twigs, earth – stuff from the outdoors can also be easily rid of with this rug. It’s a comfortable something you can throw under your outdoor furniture. And because it’s designed for the outdoors, it gives your exterior décor a natural and relaxing feel.

Bottom line: this rug is great for areas with heavy foot/paw traffic. It’s made of Olefin fiber and thus, exceedingly durable. A quick check on the internet shows that Olefin is resistant to abrasion, color fading, stains and rot. So yeah, it’ll take all the abuse you can heap.
