This beautiful hand-tufted wool runner rug is a great addition to your hallway or long space. To use it, simply place it in the desired area. Since it's not slip-resistant, it's a good idea to use a rug pad underneath for stability. This will prevent it from moving around. As for maintenance, because it's not machine-washable, spot clean any stains gently with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the wool. The rug is made of high-quality materials, so with proper care, it will last for a long time. Remember that the sizes may vary a little bit, but that's normal for handcrafted items. Enjoy the warmth and style this rug brings to your home!
