This rug is perfect for indoor use. You can place it in your living room, bedroom or hallway to add a modern touch. When you notice a stain, quickly blot it with a mild soap and cold water, then use a clean, absorbent towel to dry it. Don't let it stay wet for a long time. It's normal for the rug to shed at first. Just vacuum it regularly without turning on the beater bar, and the shedding will gradually decrease. To make your rug last longer, it's a good idea to use an open - weave rubber rug pad under it.
