Using your 5' x 7' blue damask area rug is easy. Just place it in the desired spot in your room. Remember, using a rug pad beneath it helps reduce the risk of slipping and protects your floors. For cleaning, you can use a vacuum without a beater bar or rotating brush. If there are small stains, spot clean them right away. Sizes may vary a bit due to the detailed construction, so don't be surprised if it's up to three inches different in width or length. There's no need to assemble this rug as it comes ready to use. And keep in mind, this rug is for home use, not for commercial spaces.
