To use these beautiful antique Persian hand - knotted rugs, simply place them in your living room, bedroom, or any area you want to enhance. They can instantly add a touch of elegance and cultural charm to your space. When it comes to cleaning, it's best to use a soft - bristled vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting to avoid damaging the fibers. For stains, gently blot the area with a clean, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Store the rug in a dry, cool place when not in use to prevent mold and mildew. Also, rotate the rug every few months to ensure even wear.
