These antique Persian hand - knotted rugs are great for adding a touch of elegance to any room. You can place them in your living room, bedroom, or even a hallway. When it comes to cleaning, use a soft - bristle vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting to avoid damaging the fibers. For stains, gently blot with a clean, damp cloth and a mild detergent. Don't scrub as it can fade the colors. Keep the rug away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading over time. If possible, rotate the rug every few months to ensure even wear.
