Using this rug is a breeze. You can place it either indoors or outdoors to add a touch of style. If it gets dirty indoors, use a vacuum with a floor attachment to clean it. For spills, quickly blot them to prevent stains. If there are stains, mix a mild detergent with water and use a white cloth to spot clean. When using the rug outdoors, it can handle all kinds of weather. But if it gets really dirty, just use a hose to rinse it off. After that, lay it flat to dry. There's no need to assemble the rug, and it's made of UV - treated polypropylene, so it's durable. Remember, it's a 7'10' round rug, so make sure you have enough space for it.
