These antique Persian hand - knotted rugs are a great addition to your home. You can place them in your living room, bedroom, or any area you want to add a touch of elegance. When cleaning, use a soft - bristle vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting to avoid damaging the fibers. For spills, blot the area immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid direct sunlight for long periods as it may fade the colors. Once a year, consider having a professional rug cleaner handle a deep clean to keep it in top condition.
