tufting is a type of textile manufacturing method where a thread is inserted into a cloth base
-
first 24hrs: evenly apply heavy weights on top to allow the glue to adhere to the backing fabric
next 24hrs: expose the backside to direct sunshine to allow the glue to fully dry
continued care: only wash with a steamer and spot clean, the rug is NOT washing machine safe!
