Using your new blue striped area rug is easy. Simply place it on a hardwood or tile floor indoors or outdoors to instantly spruce up your space. It's great for areas where kids play or pets roam. When it comes to cleaning, you can just toss it in the washing machine for a quick and easy clean. As for maintenance, try to keep it out of direct sunlight for long periods to prevent fading, even though it has UV ray protection. And remember, this rug is for home use, not commercial use. If you have any spills, clean them up as soon as possible to keep the stain-resistant feature working at its best.
