Using your Vintage Royal Patchwork Rug is easy. Just place it in the area of your home where you want to add a touch of antique charm, like your living room or bedroom. When it comes to cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting regularly to keep it free of dust and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the delicate fabric and the unique colors. If there's a spill, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For a deeper clean, it's best to take it to a professional rug cleaner who has experience with antique and hand - knotted rugs. Store the rug in a dry, cool place when not in use to prevent any mold or mildew growth.
