To use these rugs, simply place them in the area of your home where you want to add a touch of antique charm, like the living room or bedroom. When it comes to cleaning, vacuum them regularly to keep dust and debris at bay. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the delicate hand - knotted fibers. If there's a spill, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, it's best to hire a professional rug cleaner who has experience with antique rugs. Store the rug in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mold and mildew growth.
