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 it comes to cleaning, use a soft - bristled vacuum cleaner regularly to keep dirt and dust at bay. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the delicate hand - knotted fibers. If there's a spill, gently blot it with a clean, dry cloth right away. To maintain the rug's shape and color, keep it out of direct sunlight for long periods. And remember, these are valuable antique pieces, so handle them with care.
