Using this rug is super easy. Just place it on your desired hardwood or tile floor, whether it's indoors or outdoors. There's no need for any assembly, so you can start enjoying it right away. As for maintenance, a regular vacuuming will keep it looking great. If there are any spills, clean them up promptly with a mild detergent and water. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight for extended periods to prevent color fading. When not in use, you can roll it up and store it in a dry place.
