Using your new gray striped area rug is a breeze. Just find the perfect spot in your indoor living room or outdoor patio, and place it down. For best results and to prevent it from sliding around, it's a good idea to use a rug pad. Since this rug is water and fade - resistant, it can handle a bit of splashing and sun exposure. But if it gets dirty, you can vacuum it regularly to keep it looking fresh. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they might damage the polypropylene material. There's no need to assemble this rug, so you can start enjoying its stylish comfort right away. Remember, this rug is for home use only, not for commercial spaces.
