This rug is super versatile and can be used indoors or outdoors. To clean it, just use mild soap to remove stains and then rinse with clean water or a garden hose. Hang it up to dry before laying it out again. If you're using it indoors, vacuum regularly but keep the beater bar off. It's a good idea to use a rubber - backed non - slip rug pad to prevent bunching and slipping. Since it's resistant to water, stains, fading, and weather, it can withstand a lot. But remember, although it's durable, avoid sharp objects that could damage the fibers. This rug is great for homes with kids and pets, so enjoy its beauty and functionality in your living space.
