To use these beautiful vintage patchwork rugs, simply place them in the area of your home where you want to add a touch of antique charm, like the living room or bedroom. When it comes to cleaning, vacuum regularly to keep dirt and dust at bay. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners as they can damage the delicate fabric and colors. If there's a spill, blot it gently with a clean, dry cloth as soon as possible. For a deeper clean, it's best to take it to a professional rug cleaner who has experience with antique and hand - knotted rugs. Store the rug in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mold and mildew. With proper care, your rug will stay beautiful for years to come.
