This area rug is power loomed of durable and stain resitant polypropylene fibers. Shades of ivory and gray complement the primative Scandinavian feel pattern. To maintain the look and feel of your rug, blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth, vacuum regularly and spot clean using a mild soap made for the specific rug fiber. Professionally clean occasionally or when heavily soiled. A rug pad is recommended to be used with this rug.
