Using your new area rug is a breeze. First, find a suitable spot like the living room, bedroom, or foyer. Just place it on your hardwood or tile floor. It's a good idea to use a rug pad underneath to prevent it from slipping and to protect your floors. If you have kids or pets, you'll love that this rug is stain - resistant. But in case of spills, clean them up as soon as possible. For regular maintenance, vacuum it weekly to keep it looking fresh. It's also water and fade - resistant, so it can handle normal wear and tear. Since it's handmade, treat it with care to ensure its long - lasting beauty.
