Using this area rug is easy. Just unroll it and place it in the room of your choice. To prevent it from sliding around, we recommend using a rug pad (sold separately). When it comes to cleaning, spot clean it for the best results. Don't put it in the washing machine as this could damage the wool. It's normal for wool rugs to shed a bit at first, but this will stop over time. Keep it indoors as it's not suitable for outdoor use. With these simple tips, your rug will stay beautiful for a long time.
