This beautiful hand - knotted area rug is a great addition to your home. To use it, simply unroll it in your desired space. Since it's prone to sliding, it's a good idea to buy a rug pad (sold separately) and place it under the rug. For regular cleaning, use a vacuum cleaner with the beater bar turned off. Don't worry if you notice some shedding at first; it's normal for wool rugs and will stop after a while. If there are any stains, spot clean them instead of putting the rug in the washing machine. This rug has a low pile height, which makes it perfect for areas with a lot of foot traffic. Keep it indoors as it's not suitable for outdoor use. Enjoy the vintage charm and beautiful texture this rug brings to your space.
