Using your new rug is simple. Just place it on the floor where you want it. Remember to use an anti - slip pad underneath to keep it from moving around. Cleaning is a breeze because of the polypropylene material. You can use a regular vacuum cleaner for routine cleaning. If there are stains, use a mild detergent and water solution to gently clean the affected area. When it comes to maintenance, try to keep it out of direct sunlight for long periods to prevent color fading. And as mentioned, be aware that the colors you see on your monitor might be a bit different from the actual rug. Also, this rug can't be sent to a PO Box, so make sure to provide a street address for delivery.
