Using your Les Nomades Linear Caramel Wool Rug is easy. Just place it in your desired spot in your room. If you're putting it on a smooth surface, we recommend using a RugStop to keep it from sliding around. When it comes to cleaning, since it's a natural fiber rug, it will shed. So, use a gentle vacuum cleaner without a brush or rotating head to clean it. Remember, the rug sizes are approximate, and the colors might look a bit different on your screen than in person. Also, because it's handmade from natural fibers, there will be slight color variations and you might notice sprouting yarns - that's normal and not a defect.
