This rug is very easy to use. Just place it in your desired indoor or outdoor area. For indoor, it can add a touch of elegance to your living room or patio. Outdoors, it works great on decks or porches. When it comes to cleaning, you can vacuum it regularly to keep it looking fresh. If there are stains, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to gently clean the area. Be careful not to use harsh chemicals as they may damage the polypropylene material. Also, avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent color fading. Remember, the size of the rug may vary slightly, so measure your space before placing it.
