Cleaning/Installation: If spills occur, blot as much of the stain as possible with a clean cloth. Use a small amount of mild soap and water to clean the area. If needed, rug and carpet cleaners that are safe for synthetic materials may be used. As with anything, use sparingly and in a small, inconspicuous area first to test results before applying to the entire rug. Blot dry with clean cloth. The use of a rug pad is recommended; initial creasing is normal, and these will generally fall out within a few days to a week; tightly reversing rolling the rug pile side out and leaving in warm area for several hours will aid in the removal of creases or lingering fold marks.
