The water hog mats are great. They are easy to vacuum and to hose off with water. If you have pets or you have dust and grit where you live, these are great. I love that the water hog mats are made in USA. I have them in the bath and entrance ways and in the laundry room. For once my house here in the desert is no longer full of grit and dust. Customer service on the phone is great at LL Bean!
