Hello Joshua,

I've been facing a real challenge with finding the perfect rugs for our home. My husband and I have our hands full with our lively young kids and our beloved pets, and on top of that, we love hosting guests frequently. Despite having a strict no-shoes policy indoors, our rugs seem to attract dirt and stains persistently. We made a significant investment in high-quality, expensive rugs a few years ago, hoping for durability and easy maintenance. Unfortunately, these costly rugs have not lived up to our expectations – they've worn out quickly and now look unattractive.

As we're planning to move into our new home in a couple of months once it's ready, we're determined to find the right rugs that not only remain clean but also fit our practical needs while matching our aesthetic. Softness is also a key factor for us; we prefer rugs without jute or fiber. Any advice on finding rugs that are both durable and visually appealing for our new space would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Ashley - Palmdale, California
