I'm so happy when I unpacked the good piece and it was just not as a typical Olle doormat. The illustration shows a little brighter in the network, the original still shines with gorgeous colors. "Someone ze Hage" already impressed some of my visitors :) It is indeed quite fast dirty, but what you would expect even in white writings and wet dirty shoes? I think this is completely normal, it serves its purpose and is to date the most beautiful floor mat on the floor and even one probably in the house :) Top!
