To use this rug, simply place it in your desired elegant space like a living room or bedroom. When it comes to maintenance, avoid machine washing as it's not suitable for that. Instead, vacuum it regularly to keep it clean. You can also spot clean any stains gently with a mild detergent. Be aware that the sizes of this rug may vary a bit, so don't be surprised if it's not exactly as the listed dimensions. And since it's not non-slip, you might want to use a rug pad to prevent it from moving around.
