Using this Alexa transitional rug is a breeze. Just place it in your living or family room to instantly enhance the decor. To prevent it from slipping, it's a good idea to put an anti - slip pad like Total Grip underneath. When it comes to cleaning, it's easy because of its polypropylene material. You can use a regular vacuum cleaner to keep it clean. As for maintenance, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as this might cause the colors to fade. Also, be aware that the colors you see on your monitor might be slightly different from the actual rug. And remember, this rug can only be delivered to a street address, not a PO Box.
