These antique Persian hand - knotted rugs are great for adding a touch of elegance to your home. You can place them in your living room, bedroom, or dining area. When using, avoid placing heavy furniture directly on them for long periods to prevent flattening the fibers. For cleaning, it's best to use a soft - bristled vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting to avoid damaging the knots. If there are stains, spot - clean gently with a mild detergent and a soft cloth. Keep them away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading over time.
