To use this rug, simply place it in your desired area of the home, like the living room or bedroom, to instantly enhance the decor. When it comes to cleaning, since it's not machine washable, it's best to vacuum it regularly to keep it free of dust and debris. For stains, spot clean gently with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the wool fibers. Also, be careful when moving the rug as it doesn't have non - slip properties to prevent any accidental slips. Remember, the size may vary a bit, so don't be alarmed if it's not an exact measurement.
