To use this rug, simply place it in your desired area, like a room or hallway. For safety, make sure to use a rug pad underneath to prevent it from slipping. It's great for high-traffic areas and homes with kids and pets due to its stain-resistant feature. If there are spills, quickly blot them with a clean cloth. Regularly vacuum the rug to keep it clean. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading. Since it's water-resistant, minor spills won't seep in easily, but it's still a good idea to clean them up right away. This rug doesn't require any assembly, so you can start enjoying it right after unboxing.
