Using your Annapolis rug is a breeze! Just place it in any room you like. For safety, make sure to use an anti - slip pad such as Rugstop under the rug to prevent it from moving around. When it comes to cleaning, it's easy because of the synthetic yarns it's made of. You can use a regular vacuum cleaner for routine cleaning. If there are stains, spot clean them with a mild detergent and water. Regarding maintenance, keep it away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent color fading. Also, remember that due to monitor color differences, the actual rug color might vary a bit from what you see on your screen.
