Using this rug is easy. Just pick a spot on your hardwood or tile floor in your living space and place it down. For safety, it's a good idea to use a rug pad underneath to stop it from slipping and to protect your floors. There's no need to assemble anything, so you can start enjoying it right away. This rug is great for high - traffic areas because of its low pile height, and it fits nicely under furniture. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum it regularly to keep it clean. Since it's made of polypropylene, it's durable but avoid using harsh chemicals on it. Also, keep in mind this rug is for home use, not commercial settings.
