Bamboo rugs, perfect for both outdoor and indoor use

Unlike cloth rugs, bamboo rugs are water resistant and, thus, very easy to clean. Their natural resistance to the elements is what makes them perfect for both outdoor and indoor use. The rugs are tough and are great for high-traffic areas of the house. They are also naturally fire-repellant, and their felt backing prevents them from becoming slippery and also avoids scratching your floor with the rough edges of the rug pads.
The rugs are super easy to clean. Liquid spills will usually leave no permanents stains, and you've thus only to use a dry towel or paper napkin to absorb the moisture and you're done. Remember to wait until the rug is completely dry before rolling it up, however, as rolling it up while moisture is still present can cause mold or mildew. Most of the times, all that's needed to clean a bamboo rug is to simply lift it up and shake it to remove loose dirt and trash bits from the folds. The one thing that you want to avoid is leaving your bamboo rug exposed to direct sunlight for too long, as this can cause the natural color of the bamboo to fade quicker.
