To use this rug, simply place it in your desired area in your home. It'll add a cozy and luxurious touch to your decor. When it comes to cleaning, don't put it in the washing machine. Instead, use a gentle vacuum cleaner regularly to keep it free from dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the wool and cotton fibers. Also, since it's not non-slip, you might want to use a rug pad under it to prevent slipping. Remember that the sizes can vary a bit, so don't be surprised if it's not an exact measurement.
