To use your Vintage Royal Patchwork Rug, simply place it in your desired area. It can work well in a living room, bedroom, or hallway to add a touch of antique charm. When it comes to cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting regularly to keep it free from dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the fabric and colors. If there are any spills, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more stubborn stains, you can use a mild detergent diluted in water, but always test it on a small, hidden area first. Store the rug in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mildew and damage.
