To use these rugs, simply place them in the area of your home where you want to add a touch of antique charm, like your living room or bedroom. When cleaning, use a soft - bristled vacuum cleaner to gently remove dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the rug's delicate colors. If there are stains, try spot - cleaning with a mild detergent and water. For long - term storage, roll the rug up and keep it in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
