Using this rug is simple - just place it in your desired low-traffic indoor area. When a stain occurs, quickly blot it with a mild soap and cold water, then dry it with a clean, absorbent towel. Avoid leaving the rug in a moist environment for a long time. It's normal for the rug to shed at first. Vacuum it regularly without using the beater bar, and the shedding will gradually decrease. To keep it from bunching up or slipping, use a rubber-backed non - slip rug pad.
