To use your Vintage Royal Patchwork Rug, simply place it in the desired area of your home, like your living room or bedroom, to instantly enhance the decor. When cleaning, vacuum it regularly with a low - suction setting to prevent damage to the fibers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can fade the colors and damage the rug. If there are spills, blot them immediately with a clean, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, it's best to take it to a professional rug cleaner who has experience with antique and hand - knotted rugs. Keep the rug away from direct sunlight for long periods to prevent color fading. This way, you can enjoy your beautiful, unique rug for years to come.
