Using this area rug is a breeze. Just place it on your hardwood or tile floor. For best results, use a rug pad under it to stop it from slipping and to protect your floors. When it comes to maintenance, you can easily keep it clean by vacuuming regularly. Make sure not to use the beater bar or rotating brush on your vacuum to avoid damaging the rug. Since it's a machine - made rug crafted from a polypropylene and polyester blend, it's quite durable. This rug is not for commercial use, so keep it in your home. There's no need to assemble it, as it comes ready to use. And don't worry about Prop65 concerns, as the product is compliant.
