Using this rug is easy. Just place it on a clean, flat hardwood or tile floor in your living area. It's perfect for spaces where kids play or pets roam. When it comes to cleaning, since it has a low pile height, you can easily vacuum it regularly to keep it looking fresh. If there are any spills, blot them immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the rug. This rug is fade - resistant, but it's still a good idea to keep it out of direct sunlight for long periods to maintain its beautiful gold and ivory colors. And don't worry about assembly, as it comes ready to use right out of the box.
