Using your new area rug is simple. Just place it on your hardwood or tile floor. It'll instantly spruce up your room. For safety, it's a good idea to use a rug pad underneath. This helps prevent the rug from slipping and also protects your floors. Cleaning the rug is a breeze because it's machine washable. Just follow the regular washing instructions for polyester items. As for maintenance, vacuum it regularly to keep it looking fresh. Keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent the colors from fading too quickly. There's no assembly required, so you can enjoy your new rug right away. Remember, this rug is for home use only, not for commercial settings.
