Using your new handwoven jute area rug is a breeze. Just find a nice spot on your hardwood or tile floor and lay it down. For extra safety and to protect your floors, it's a good idea to use a rug pad under it. There's no need to assemble anything, so you can enjoy it right away. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum the rug regularly to keep it clean. Avoid getting it too wet as jute doesn't dry quickly. If there's a small stain, gently spot - clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Since it's a natural fiber, it might shed a little at first, but that's normal. Keep this rug away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading. And remember, because it's handmade, each rug is unique, so embrace its individual charm.
