To use this area rug, simply place it in your desired location in your home. It will instantly add a touch of elegance to your room. As it's not machine washable, it's best to vacuum it regularly to keep it clean. If there are any stains, spot clean gently with a mild detergent and water. Since it doesn't have a non - slip feature, you might want to use a rug pad underneath to prevent it from moving. Also, remember that the size might vary a little, so measure your space before placing it.
