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