To use this Millennium Collection rug, simply place it on the desired floor surface. When a spill occurs, immediately grab a clean sponge or cloth and blot the spill to prevent it from staining. Make sure to vacuum the rug regularly to keep it looking fresh. Every once in a while, it's a good idea to have it professionally cleaned. Always use an appropriate rug pad beneath the rug on any surface. This will stop the rug from slipping around, make it more comfortable to walk on, and help it last longer. Enjoy your beautiful and durable rug!
