Is the Safavieh Montauk rug soft enough for a living room?

It is a flat-woven cotton rug, so it is firm rather than plush. Most owners add a rug pad for cushion and to keep it from sliding.

Can the Montauk rug be washed?

It is not machine washable. Spot clean with mild soap and water, vacuum regularly, and blot spills quickly.

Does it work on hardwood floors?

Yes, but use a rug pad. The thin cotton back can slide on smooth floors and the pad protects the finish.

Will the rug shed or crease when new?

Some shedding and fold creases are common at first. Vacuum gently and let it lie flat; creases usually relax within a few weeks.

Yes. The flat weave has no pile, so you can flip it to even out wear.

Is it good for homes with pets?

The low pile traps less hair and is easy to vacuum, but the light color shows accidents and dirt, so clean spills fast.
