Using this rug is easy. Just place it on your hardwood or tile floor in your room or hallway. For safety, it's a good idea to use a rug pad under the rug. This will stop it from slipping and protect your floors. To keep your rug looking great, have it professionally cleaned every once in a while. This will make it last longer. There's no need to assemble the rug, and it's not meant for commercial places. Enjoy the beautiful blue and ivory oriental design in your home.
