Using your Mirage Gwyneth Navy Rug is easy. Just place it on the floor where you want it. But don't forget to put an anti - slip pad like Total Grip underneath to keep it from moving around. As for maintenance, since it's made of polypropylene and is easy to clean, you can use a regular vacuum cleaner to remove dirt and debris. If there are any stains, a mild detergent and water should do the trick. When it comes to color, keep in mind that what you see on your monitor might be a bit different from the actual rug. And unfortunately, this rug can't be sent to a PO Box address, so make sure to provide a proper delivery address.
