To use this rug, simply place it in the desired area of your home. It looks great in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas. When it comes to cleaning, avoid machine washing. Instead, vacuum it regularly to keep it looking fresh. For stains, spot clean gently with a mild detergent and water. Be careful not to scrub too hard as it may damage the fibers. Also, since it's not non-slip, you may want to use a rug pad for safety. Remember, the sizes of this rug may vary a bit, so measure your space beforehand to ensure a proper fit.
