To use your hand-hooked wool rug, simply place it in your desired area like your living room or bedroom. For cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner on a low - suction setting regularly to keep it free of dust and debris. Avoid spills as much as possible. If a spill occurs, blot it immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this can spread the stain. Since it's not machine - washable, for deep cleaning, it's best to hire a professional rug cleaner. Also, because it doesn't have a non - slip feature, you may want to use a rug pad underneath to prevent slipping and to protect your floor.
