Using your new blue and gray 8' x 10' area rug is easy. You can place it indoors on a hardwood or tile floor to spruce up your living room, or use it outdoors to create a cozy space. When a spill happens, quickly blot it with a cloth. To remove stains, take a soft - bristle brush and gently dab water on the stain. Since it's a high - quality machine - made rug of polypropylene and polyester, it's built to last, but using a rug pad is a good idea. It will help the rug last longer, keep it in place, and prevent scratches on your floor. Also, keep in mind that the color you see on your screen might be a bit different from the actual rug due to screen resolution. And don't worry about assembly; this rug comes ready to use.
