Using your new area rug is simple. Just place it on your hardwood or tile floor in the desired area of your room. For added safety and to protect your floors, it's a good idea to use a rug pad underneath. This will also help prevent the rug from slipping. Since this rug is stain-resistant, minor spills can usually be wiped up easily. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to gently clean the affected area. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the rug. To keep it looking its best, vacuum regularly to remove dirt and debris. Also, try to rotate the rug every few months to ensure even wear. This rug is not for commercial use, so keep it in a residential setting. And remember, no assembly is required, so you can start enjoying it right away.
