Using this rug is easy. Just place it on a clean, flat hardwood or tile floor in your hallway or room. To make sure it stays in place and to protect your floors, it's a good idea to use a rug pad. When spills happen, quickly blot the liquid with a clean cloth to prevent stains. For regular cleaning, vacuum it once a week to keep it looking fresh. Since it's fade - resistant, you don't have to worry too much about sunlight, but try not to expose it to direct sunlight for long periods. And remember, this rug isn't for commercial use and doesn't need any assembly, so you can start enjoying it right away.
