How can I protect the colors of handmade rugs?

You can clean them with baking soda, which can be left for a few hours before vacuumed. You can use a soft scrub brush to apply vinegar, which will certainly revive them. Of course, you would need to keep them away from direct exposure to the sun because colors may fade away.

How do I store handmade rugs?

All handmade wool rugs need to breathe. In this context, you need to make small holes when you wrap them with plastic bags. If you cover them with cotton sheets, it would be better because this is a natural material that will let them breathe. Rug cleaning should be preceded and if you want, you can wrap them with moth repellents. Just keep them from damp places to avoid water damage.

Should I put carpets in the kitchen?

As their name explains, the filters work to capture dust, pollen and other tiny particles that a traditional vacuum would typically shoot back in the air during cleaning. Hence, the filters make vacuuming more effective and help to remove more allergens from the indoor environment. It is best if the attachments such as the beater bar are made not to release such particles.
