Using this rug is easy. Just place it in your desired spot, like under the coffee table or at the entrance. To prevent it from slipping, use an anti - slip pad. When it comes to maintenance, vacuum it regularly to keep it clean. For stains, gently blot with a clean cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals as they can damage the polypropylene material. Also, keep in mind that the colors you see on your screen might be a bit different from the actual rug. That's normal because of monitor color variations.
