Using your new area rug is easy. First, find a suitable spot on your hardwood or tile floor, either indoors or on your patio or deck. If you want better stability, place a rug pad underneath. You'll notice right away how the soft texture feels great under your feet. Since this rug is durable, it can handle both indoor and outdoor use. Just be aware that because of how it's made, the actual size might be up to three inches different in width or length from what's listed. When it comes to maintenance, a regular vacuuming will keep it looking fresh. If there are any spills, clean them up right away with a mild detergent and water. No assembly is needed, so you can start enjoying it right away. And don't worry, it's Prop65 compliant, so it's safe for your home.
