Using this rug is a breeze. You can place it indoors on a hardwood or tile floor to add a touch of style to your living room, bedroom, or any other space. Outdoors, it's perfect for sprucing up your patio or deck. When it comes to cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner regularly to keep it free of dirt and debris. If there are stains, spot clean with a mild detergent and water. Just make sure to blot the stain gently instead of rubbing it. Remember, since the colors may look different in sunlight and indoor lighting, you might want to place it where the lighting suits your preference. Also, as the sizes can vary slightly, measure your space before placing an order. A rug pad is recommended to prevent slipping and to extend the life of the rug. This polypropylene rug is durable, but it's always a good idea to avoid sharp objects that could damage it.
