Using this hand woven area rug is super easy. Just find a nice spot in your room, like in the living room in front of the sofa or in the bedroom next to the bed, and lay it flat on the floor. Since it doesn't need any assembly, you can start enjoying it right away. As for maintenance, vacuum it regularly to keep it clean and free of dust and debris. If there are any spills, quickly blot them with a clean cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals on the rug as they might damage the jute and polyester materials. Also, this rug is for home use only, not for commercial settings. When moving the rug, roll it up gently to prevent any creases or damage. And remember, because each rug is unique, it might have some slight differences from the one shown in the pictures, but that's part of its charm.
