This area rug is very versatile and can be used indoors or outdoors. To use it, simply place it in your desired area. For cleaning, if there's a spill, quickly blot it with a cloth. Then, use a soft - bristle brush and a bit of water to gently clean the stain. This rug is made to last, but to keep it in top shape for a long time, it's a good idea to use a rug pad. It will not only make the rug last longer but also keep it safe and prevent scratches on your floor. Remember, the colors you see on your screen might be a bit different from the actual rug because of screen resolution. And don't worry about assembly, as you won't need to put it together. This rug is made of polypropylene, so it's a durable choice for your space.
