Clean spills immediately by blotting with a clean sponge or cloth. Rinse with water from garden hose. Lift off ground to dry thoroughly. Appropriate rug pad is highly recommended on all surfaces to prevent slipping, add cushion, and improve durability. For vacuuming, use a vacuum cleaner without beater bar or one where you can set the bar to the highest pile setting. If your vacuum has variable power settings, set on low.
