Vacuum regularly and/or shake to remove dust. For best results, use a vacuum cleaner without a beater brush, on a low-power setting. May be rinsed regularly with an outdoor hose and mild soap. Allow for rug to dry completely before use after exposure to excessive water from a hose or heavy rain. Do not leave in standing water for extended periods of time to avoid mold/mildew growth. Turn rug around occasionally to equalize wear. Blot spills immediately with a white cloth.
