.If you look at the manmade fibres like Olefin (THERE ARE A WHOLE BUNCH OF THEM WITH THINGS LIKE 'POLY' IN THEIR NAMES) THEY ARE GREAT FOR AREAS WITH DIRT. YOU CAN WASH THOSE THINGS WITH A GARDEN HOSE THEY ARE SO DURABLE SO IT'S EASY TO KEEP THEM LOOKING CLEAN. THEY ALSO COME IN VARIOUS QUALITIES, SOFTNESS, STYLES, ETC. WHICH CAN LOOK VERY EXPENSIVE (WELL AND SOME ACTUALLY ARE). ALSO AVOID RUBBER BACKING AT ALL COSTS AS IT WRECKS MOST FLOORS. YOU CAN GET THE ANTI SLIP UNDERMATS.

ONE OTHER CAUTION, ONE YEAR I HAD A VERY THICK SORT OF RAG RUG BY MY DOOR. IT ENDED UP BEING TOO THICK AND THE DOOR CAUGHT IT EVERYTIME.
