Purchased in April 2025 and used for about two months. After that, items that could be washed were laundered and stored. While in use, I used towels, but there was some regurgitation, and I washed the mat frequently. Although it's a casual inspection, there are no major scratches or stains on the main body. As the mat was often vomited on, there may be faint stains if you look closely. The carrying bag has creases. The original box is still available, so I can pack it in that and then ship it in the cardboard box it arrived in.
