Using this area rug is super easy. Just place it on the floor where you want to add some style and warmth. We recommend using a rug pad underneath to keep it from slipping and to protect your floors. There's no need to assemble anything, so it's ready to use right away. For maintenance, vacuum it regularly to keep it clean. You can spot clean any stains with a mild detergent and water. This rug is for home use only, not for commercial spaces. And remember, each rug is handwoven, so it's unique and may have slight variations from the picture.
