Using this rug is easy. Just place it in your desired indoor or outdoor area. If you're putting it on a smooth surface, it's a good idea to use a rug pad to keep it from slipping. When there are spills, wipe them up quickly as the rug is stain - resistant but it's better to act fast. For regular cleaning, use a vacuum without a beater bar or rotating brush. This will help keep the low loop pile in good condition. You don't need to assemble the rug, it's ready to use right out of the box. Remember, this rug is for home use, not for commercial settings. Also, it meets Prop65 requirements. Take good care of it, and it will add beauty and comfort to your space for a long time.
