It does the job. Please note if you just wipe up the mess you will still smell the odor because it goes through the carpet. The carpet can shrink if you don't hand wash it.

This reptile carpet has been my favorite so far. The other ones I've tried were too textured and my Leo's nails kept getting stuck on them. That doesn't happen with this one. It can be a little hard to clean sometimes but that's my only complaint.

I love the texture of the carpet but it only lasts a week or so before you have to throw it out. Everything gets stuck under it, coco fibers, plants, everything. Sadly I would not recommend it to other owners[product:thrive-carpet-brown/rock]
