This Genesis Ryenn hand - tufted area rug is great for indoor use. To use it, simply place it in your desired indoor space. When a stain occurs, quickly blot it with a clean cloth. Don't let the rug stay wet for a long time as it's not water - resistant. For regular cleaning or to get rid of tough stains, it's best to hire a professional cleaner. When vacuuming, turn off the beater bar to avoid damaging the rug. Consider using a felt rug pad under the rug for extra comfort and insulation. Since it contains latex and isn't eco - friendly, be aware of these factors when using it. And remember, it's not fade - resistant, so avoid placing it in direct sunlight for long periods.
