Vacuum regularly on floor setting. Do not use a beater bar. Use scissors to trim long ends of yarn evenly with rug surface. Spot clean dirt or spills with a mixture of water and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. With a clean white cloth, gently blot from the outside of the spill to the interior to prevent spreading. Rinse with hose if needed and hang until thoroughly dry. Make sure both the rug and the area where it will be placed are fully dry before laying the rug. Best used in covered locations. To preserve the life of the rug, we recommend using a rug pad and rotating every 3 to 6 months. Professionally clean as needed.
