To use this rug, simply place it in your desired area in your home, like the living room or bedroom. When it comes to maintenance, since it's not machine - washable, spot - clean any spills immediately with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Avoid scrubbing too hard as it may damage the fibers. For general cleaning, you can vacuum it regularly on a low - suction setting. Be aware that the rug is not non - slip, so you might want to use a rug pad underneath to prevent it from moving around. Also, remember that the sizes can vary a bit, so measure your space carefully before placing an order.
