Using this rug is a breeze. Just place it in your desired indoor or outdoor space, like your living room, patio, porch, or deck. Since it's in a high-traffic area, it's a good idea to use a rug pad to keep it in place. As for maintenance, vacuum it regularly to keep it clean. If there are any stains, spot clean them with a mild detergent and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the polypropylene material. There's no need to assemble the rug, so you can start enjoying it right away. And remember, it's designed to be durable, but still handle it with care to make it last.
