Using this area rug is a breeze. Just place it on the floor where you want to add a touch of style and comfort. We highly recommend using a rug pad underneath to prevent it from slipping around and to protect your floors from scratches. As for maintenance, regular vacuuming will help keep it clean and free of dirt and debris. If there are any spills, blot them immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the wool blend fibers. Since it's handmade, it's best to handle it gently to preserve its unique charm. This rug is for home use only, so don't use it in a commercial setting.
