Using this rug is easy - just place it indoors in your transitional space to add a luxurious touch. When it comes to cleaning, if you spill something, blot the stain immediately. Don't let the rug get wet for a long time as it's not water - resistant. For tough stains or regular cleaning, it's best to call in the professionals. When vacuuming, make sure to turn off the beater bar to protect the rug's surface. To make your rug even more comfortable underfoot and to provide insulation, we suggest using a felt rug pad. Remember, this rug contains latex and isn't eco - friendly, fade - resistant, stain - resistant, or weather - resistant. So, keep it away from harsh conditions and direct sunlight to keep it looking great for a long time.
