These hand - knotted Kashmir rugs are very versatile. You can place them in your living room, bedroom, or dining area to add a touch of elegance. When using, avoid sharp objects that might damage the fibers. For regular cleaning, use a soft - bristle vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting. If there are stains, gently blot them with a clean, damp cloth. Every few months, you can flip the rug to ensure even wear. Store the rug in a dry, cool place if not in use for a long time.
