To use this rug, simply place it in your desired indoor or outdoor area. It will instantly add style to the space. Since it's not machine washable, you should spot clean it with a mild detergent and water when there are stains. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the polypropylene fibers. When moving the rug, lift it carefully to prevent any damage to the latex backing. Also, remember that the sizes may vary a bit, so measure your space beforehand. And because it's not non-slip, you might want to use a rug pad for extra safety.
