Using your Blue Vines Indoor and Outdoor Area Runner Rug is a breeze. You can place it indoors in your hallway or living room to add a touch of style and warmth, or use it outdoors on your patio to create a cozy and inviting space. When it comes to cleaning, if there are small stains, just spot clean and rinse with a hose - it's that easy. Keep in mind that the colors of the rug may look different in sunlight compared to indoor lighting. Since it's ideal for heavy - traffic outdoor areas, a rug pad is recommended to keep it in place and protect it. As for maintenance, regular vacuuming will help keep the rug looking its best. And don't worry about assembly, as no assembly is needed. Just enjoy your beautiful new rug in your chosen space!
